Technical Data :

The 451P state-of-the-art ion chamber survey meter is a handheld battery operated unit designed for use in both rugged and normal environments. The 451P is a pressurized ion chamber for p.R resolution. The 451P auto-ranges and measures radiation rate and accumulated dose from various radiation sources (beta, x-ray and gamma). The ion chamber detector allows for a fast response time to radiation from leakage, scatter beams, and pinholes. Additionally, the low-noise chamber bias supply provides for fast background-settling time.

The digital display features an analog bar graph, 2.5 digit readout, low battery indicator, freeze (peak hold) mode indicator and an automatic back­light function. User controls consist of an ON/OFF button and a MODE button. The case is constructed of lightweight, high strength materials and is sealed against moisture.

The RS-232 interface can be connected directly to a computer for use with the Excel add-in for Windows (451EXL), enhancing the functionality of the instrument. This software allows for data retrieval, user parameter selection and provides a virtual instrument display with audible and visual alarm indication.
