The Ludlum Model 3014 is a durable, lightweight instrument with both an internal energy-compensated gamma detector and a connection for an external detector. It features a large, easy-to-read LCD screen and audible alarms and is controlled using a simple five-button interface. The unit body is made of high-impact plastic and splash-resistant construction allows the instrument to be used outdoors.
Four modes of operation are available – RATE, MAX, INTG, and COUNT – which can be selected by pressing the MODE button. Measurements can be collected in two sets of units (primary and secondary) for RATE and MAX modes. The user can switch between the two sets of units by pressing the UNITS button. Pressing the DETECTOR button toggles the display between the internal and external detector readings. When enabled with the Lumic Data Logger Kit (see Options), data can be logged in any of the operational modes using the LOG button on the handle. Up to 1000 data points can be stored internally. The SCA ability allows a scintillator or proportional detector to be set up with an upper window, giving it higher sensitivity to a specific isotope or region. This instrument can be used with external alpha-beta detectors to display alpha, beta, or alpha+beta counts.
Instrument setup can be done either through the front-panel controls or via the Lumic Calibration Kit (see Options). The Model 3014 is shipped ready to use with batteries and calibration certificate.
