Surface Contamination Monitor
DESCRIPTION: Small Digital Ratemeter with built -in 2” diameter pancake tube and speaker. Reads out in mR/hr (or counts per minute). Thin window recessed and protected by sturdy grill. Additionally TBM- 3SR-D has sliding methacrylate beta shield which also acts as additional protection for thin GM tube window. Instrument will see alpha, beta, and gamma radiation. Anti saturation circuit will not fall below full scale in high fields. Tested to100 R/h.

APPLICATION: Its small size, light weight, one hand operation, and large detector area make this a very useful monitor for surveying bench tops or checking hands, clothes, and fingertips for almost any radioactive contamination. Excellent for Fire Department, Ambulance, Police, First Response, and U.S. Custom Personnel use for surveying people, cars, luggage, surface of rooms, etc.
