INTRODUCTION

The Model 451P state-of-the-art ion chamber survey meter is a hand-held battery

operated unit designed for use in both rugged ａnd normal environments. The

Model 451P features a pressurized ionization chamber, providing enhanced

sensitivity ａnd improving energy response to measure gamma ａnd X-ray radiation.

The Model 451P employs microprocessor ａnd LCD technology. The ergonomic

handle, features a large diameter cushioned grip ａnd is designed to reduce fatigue

associated with extended use. The case is constructed of lightweight, high strength

materials ａnd is sealed against moisture. The user must specify R or Sv when

ordering.

The display features an analog bar graph, 2 1/2 digit digital readout, low battery

and freeze mode indicators. User controls consist of an ON/OFF button ａnd a

MODE button. The unit is auto-zeroing ａnd auto-ranging. The display features

circuitry that automatically activates the backlight in low ambient light conditions.

The RS-232 interface can be connected directly to a computer for use with the

Excel add-in for Windows ® , enhancing the functionality of the instrument. The

software allows for data retrieval, user parameter selection ａnd provides a virtual

instrument display with audible （requires sound card） ａnd visual alarm indication.

The software may be customized by the user for specific applications.

APPLICATIONS

The Model 451P is used in a wide range of medical ａnd health physics applications.

The Model 451P was designed to measure leakage ａnd scatter around diagnostic

X-ray ａnd radiation therapy suites. Also, the Model 451P is ideal for site surveys

and is regularly used by X-ray manufacturers, government agencies, state

inspectors,

research labs, biomedical technicians, ａnd in airports for baggage inspection

equipment maintenance.
