Ludlum Model 3 w/ 44-9 G-M Pancake-RENTAL

The Ludlum Model 3 Survey Meter is the industry standard of radiation survey meters.  The meter has a rugged design and microprocessor electronics. It operates on two "D" cells for approximately 2000 hours. The Ludlum Model 3 has adjustable high voltage to 1500 volts and includes external calibration controls. The four counting ranges are x0.1, x1, x10, x100.  Typical Counting Range is from 0 - 200 mR/hr, or 0 - 500,000 cpm.
