The Model TBM-28 Survey Meter includes a separable, small,
three-range ratemeter with a 1.2 meter wand supporting an external pancake GM
detector. The scale reads in counts per minute. The thin pancake wide face GM detector at
end of long arm is recessed and protected by sturdy aluminum grill. The Model
TBM-28 will detect alpha, beta and gamma radiation. An anti-saturation circuit will not fall below
scale in high fields. The survey meter was tested to 100 R/hr. Sonalert with volume control
provides
audible rate indication.
This meter allows expanded reach to monitor floor or ceiling or pipes or windows - reaches into corners. It's small size, light weight, separable probe and large detector area makes this a very useful monitor. Optional P-15 pancake probe (included with Model TBM-28-15) with short handle allows checking of hands, clothes, desktop etc..
