Model 3-IS Series Radiation Survey Meter: Description
The Ludlum Model 3-IS series includes two models of intrinsically safe radiation survey meters for use in hazardous areas:
1) The Model 3-IS is a general-purpose meter that can be used with a variety of external detectors for gamma exposure rate, neutron dose rate, or alpha/beta/gamma contamination surveys.
2) The Model 3-IS-1 has an internally mounted GM detector for exposure rate measurements between 0.1-10 mR/hr.
Both models have features for battery life, calibration, response time, and are approved for hazardous environments according to various standards.

Radiation Survey Meter
Ludlum Measurements, Inc.
DESCRIPTION The Model 3-IS series is an intrinsically safe radiation survey meter that can be used in areas where explosion safety is a primary concern. This meter is available in two models; a general purpose Model 3-IS which can be adapted to a variety of external radia- tion detectors for gamma exposure rate and neutron dose rate or alpha/beta/gamma contamination surveys, and the Model 3-IS-1 which is outfitted with a single, internally mounted GM detector for performing exposure rate measurements.
