Model 2241 Digital Scaler/Ratemeter is a portable general-purpose survey meter equipped with a Pancake Geiger-Mueller Detector for measurement of alpha, beta and gamma radiation. The Model 2241 operated in either Ratemeter Mode with a moving decimal point or 6-digit in Scaler Mode. The unit has both visual and audible alarms. The Ludlum Model 44-9 G-M Pancake G-M Detector will detect alpha, beta and gamma radiation in mR. Its size and shape provide easy handling for surveying or personnel monitoring. The detector is energy dependent, over responding by a factor of six in the 60 keV to 100 keV range when normalized to 137Cs. This combination ratemeter and detector ship with a carrying case and certificate of calibration. An operating manual is available upon request.
