Alarm Ratemeter with Pancake GM Probe and Foot Monitor
The external pancake probe monitors alpha, beta, and gamma radiation, and is the preferred detector for the majority of medical surveying applications. The Pancake GM Foot Monitor serves as a convenient shoe contamination monitor. Four multiplier settings (x1, x10, x100, x1000), threshold adjustment from 10 to 100 mV, and a toggle switch for FAST (2.2 sec.) or SLOW (22 sec.) response make this unit suitable for a wide range of medical applications.

- Audible alarm with red indicator light for continuous area monitoring
- Portable surveying with Pancake GM Probe (39″ cable included)
- 0-500K cpm range
- Operates on wall current or rechargeable battery
- Equipped for simultaneous hand and shoe contamination monitoring
