4 Selectable & Configurable Detector Settings
Large Backlit LCD for Ease of Reading
Autoranging
Rate, Max, and Count Modes of Operation
Splash-Resistant Construction for Outdoor Use
4-Button Intuitive Interface for Easy Operation
All-Digital Calibration

Datalogging and Headphone Options

The Model 3001 is a durable, lightweight instrument designed for alpha, beta, or gamma radiation survey. It can support up to four external detectors, each with its own set of calibration and user parameters. The instrument features a large, easy-to-read LCD screen and audible alarms and is controlled using a simple five-button interface. The unit body is made of high-impact plastic and splash resistant construction allows the instrument to be used outdoors.

Three modes of operation are available – RATE, MAX, and COUNT – which can be selected by pressing the MODE button. Measurements can be collected in two sets of units (primary and secondary) for RATE and MAX modes in cps, cpm, Bq, dpm, mR/hr, or μSv/h units. The user can switch between two sets of chosen units by pressing the UNITS button. The DETECTOR is used to switch between the active detector settings, indicated by the colored LEDs above the control buttons. When enabled with the optional Lumic Data Logger Kit (see Options), data can be logged in any of the operational modes using the LOG button on the handle. Up to 1000 data points can be stored internally.

Instrument setup can be done either through the front-panel controls of via the Lumic Calibration Kit (see Options). The Model 3001 is shipped ready to use with batteries and calibration certificate.

Specifications

Compatible Detectors	GM, scintillation, or proportional
Display	3-digit auto-ranging LCD with large 20 mm (0.8 in.) digits. Units: (k)cps, (k)cpm, (k)Bq, (k)dpm, (μ)(m)R(/h), (μ)(m)Sv(/h). Indicators: bar graph, MAX, ALARM, USB, audio, low battery.
Display Range	0.0 cps to 99.9 kcps 0.00 cpm to 999 kcpm 0.00 Bq to 99.9 kBq 0.00 dpm to 999 kdpm 0.00 μR/h to 999 R/h 0.00 μSv/h to 999 Sv/h Operational display ranges are dependent on the detector and dead time configuration. The minimum and maximum display can be set to limit the display to the calibrated range.
Linearity	within 10% of true value
Backlight	Built-in ambient light sensor automatically activates LED backlight, unless internal dipswitch is set to continuous-On (will reduce battery life)
User Controls	ON/ACK: Extra-long press to turn ON, short press to adjust audio level and acknowledge alarms, long press to reset mode, extra-long press plus 3 seconds to turn OFF UNITS: Short press changes the units between count rate, dose/exposure, or disintegration, an extra-long press to change count time in COUNT mode DETECTOR: Short presses to change between available detector MODE: Short press alternates between available modes: RATE (displays count rate), MAX (captures peak rate), and COUNT (captures rate or dose readings for a user-selectable preset count time from 0 to 10 minutes) LOG: Short press to log current dispaly (requires Lumic Data Logger Kit, see Options) or initiate count in COUNT mode
Data Logging	Can store up to 1000 data points internally. Requires Lumic Data Logger Kit, see Options.
Response Time	User-selectable from 1 to 60 s, or Auto-Response Rate FAST or SLOW
Alarms	Two adjustable count rate, exposure/dose, and scaler alarm setpoints adjustable over the display range
Overload Protection	High count rate saturation protection prevents false display of lower count rates. "OL" will appear on the display and an audio warning will be triggered.
Loss of Count Protection	After a user-settable time interval (default 60 seconds) of no pulses from detector, unit will flash a zero reading and the alarm audio will be triggered
Dead Time Correction	Employs first and second order corrections for extended performance
Overrange	If the reading should exceed the predefined detector range, the instrument will flash a maximum reading and trigger an audio warning.
High Voltage	400 to 1500 Vdc
Threshold	-2 to -100 mVdc
Audio	Approximately 4.5 kHz, click audio greater than 65 dB at 0.6 m (2 ft), alarm audio greater than 72 dB
Power	Four alkaline “AA” batteries
Battery Life	Approximately 500 hours (as low as 60 hours with backlight configured for continuous-on), 16-hour low battery warning
Construction	High-impact plastic with water-resistant rubber seals and separate battery compartment
Temperature Range	-20 to 50 °C (-5 to 122 °F) May be certified for operation from -40 to 65 °C (-40 to 150 °F)
Enviornmental Rating	NEMA rating of 5 or IP rating of 53
Size (H x L x W)	16.5 x 11.4 x 21.6 cm (6.5 x 4.5 x 8.5 in.)
Weight	0.7 kg (1.6 lb) (excluding detectors and clips)
