The Model 375 is a digital area monitor controller for radiation measurement or detection. Its simple design accommodates many different detectors, suiting a wide variety of applications, and is equipped with a large digital LED display and alarms. This versatile instrument may also be connected to optional auxiliary indicators/annunciators for alerting personnel at remote locations. The user-friendly, digital design enhances setup and operation. This unit may also be networked to a central PC-based station where data are logged and alarms posted.

This affordable and flexible system can be used in many different applications, and over the years Ludlum Measurements has developed a wide array of detectors, accessories, and options that can be included in a Model 375 system configuration. These include remote indicator alarms, printers, relay outputs, weather-proof enclosures, Ethernet networking software, industrial cameras, and more. See the link in the "Options" tab for more information about the options that are available.

There are several basic versions of the Model 375. In 2011, Ludlums released an updated version of the Model 375, but we still continue to offer the legacy version for some configurations. The specifications listed on this page are for the Model 375 released in 2011.

Commonly supplied, pre-configured systems employing the Model 375 controller are listed below on the “Configurations” tab.

Several different software options are available depending on the requirements of your application. Details can be found through the link on the "Options" tab.

Specifications

Indicated Use	Area monitoring
Compatible Detectors	GM, proportional, scintillation, neutron
Display	Four-digit LED display with 2 cm (0.8 in.) digits
Display Range	000.0 to 9999
Display Units	Can be made to display in μR/hr, mR/hr, R/hr, μSv/h, mSv/h, Sv/h, μrem/hr, mrem/hr, rem/hr, cpm, cps, and others
Linearity	Reading within 10% of true value
Response	Typically 3 seconds from 10% to 90% of final reading
Status Indicators	Status: green light indicates instrument is functioning properly Low Alarm: yellow light and slow beep (1 per second), can be set at any point from 0 to 9999 High Alarm: red light and fast beep (4 per second), can be set at any point from 0 to 9999 Detector Fail: red light and constant audible tone > 68 dB at 61 cm (2 ft), for conditions of detector overload, no count from detector, or instrument failure Low Bat: yellow light, indicates less than two hours of battery life remaining Overload: display reading of "–OL–" and audible FAIL alarm indicate detector saturation Overrange: display reading of "– – – –" and activated low and high alarms indicate that the radiation field being measured has exceeded the counting range of the instrument (or when dead time correction accounts for more than 75% of the displayed reading)
High Voltage	Adjustable from 450 to 2500 V
Threshold	Adjustable from 2 to 100 mV
Dead Time	Adjustable to compensate for dead time of detector and electronics (can be read on display)
Audio	Intensity can vary from approximately 68 to 100 dB through operation of the external rotary baffle and the internal voltage connection. Frequency is approximately 3 kHz.
Data Output	9-pin connector providing 5-decade logarithmic output, RS-232 output, signal ground connection, FAIL and ALARM signals (current sink), and direct connection to battery and ground
Relays	9-pin connector with male pins provides connection to three fail-safe form C relays, activated by LOW ALARM (alert), HIGH ALARM, and instrument FAIL. These contacts are potential-free (non-powered), but can handle 125 Vac at 0.3 A or 30 Vdc at 1 A.
RS-232 Output	A 2-second dump for computer data logging
Calibration Controls	Accessible from front of instrument (protective cover provided)
Power	9 Vdc wall-mount adapter, handles any mains voltage worldwide, supplied with four sets of prongs for almost any style wall receptacle
Battery Life	48 hours in non-alarm condition (typical) 12 hours in alarm condition (typical)
Battery Charger	Battery is continuously trickle-charged when instrument is connected to line power and turned on
Connector	Series "C" (others available)
