Ludlum Model 2000 Scaler

Ludlum Model 2000 radiation scaler

The Model 2000 is a general purpose scaler typically used for counting samples. It's rugged design and construction facilitates both benchtop and portable applications with its wide ranging AC power supply and internal batteries capable of powering the instrument upwards of 120 hours. The Model 2000 supports GM, proportional and scintillator type detectors and provides fine adjustment controls for setting the high voltage and threshold settings. The scaler reading is presented on a digital, 6 digit readout LED that can be set to count from 0.1 to 999 minutes via a front panel dip switch. An internal switch facilitates counting in seconds rather than minutes if desired. Other front panel controls include a start count button, a HV/Bat switch for displaying the current value on the accompanying digital meter and a three way switch for selecting power off, battery or line power. An RS-232 port on the rear panel allows connection to a PC or printer .
