DSM-506 Digital Survey Meter

Includes Internal Probe for added High Range

Ideal for Nuclear Medicine Applications

DSM-506 Survey Meter by WB Johnson

The DSM-506 is a digital, auto-ranging, microprocessor-controlled instrument with a large backlit, digital LCD. An internal probe is included for high range. The user must choose an external probe. This instrument can be configured to indicate, Cpm, Cps, R/hr and/or Sv/hr. Standard features include diagnostics, scaler, adjustable alarms, over-range alarm and other error indicators. The DSM-506 supports several different probes. Separate HV supplies for each detector enable the utilization of any Johnson probe. Each detector has full auto-ranging and can be utilized for separate functions: internal= dose and external= CPM or a different dose range. The DSM-506 meets nuclear medicine requirements. Over-range and regular alarms are provided for each detector. Diagnostics are standard.
