Introduction
The Model 489-110FS used in combination with the Model 190 Survey Meter is especially useful for radiation leakage measurements encountered with x-ray emitting laboratory instruments or industrial research equipment, such as electron microscopes, and ion implanters. For service personnel and laboratory technicians, the Model 190 and 489-110FS combination is invaluable for performing “as found” and “final check out” radiation leakage surveys, which are of major importance in any Quality Assurance or personnel safety program. The Model 190 and 489-110FS probe are excellent for gross counting surveys. Once a leak has been found, energy compensating filters can be employed to determine the true exposures.
- Energy compensation filter set to determine true dose rate
- High detection efficiency
- Ergonomic design
- Detachable probe cable
- Easy to decontaminate
Key Features
The Victoreen Model 489-110FS consists of a GM Pancake Probe, which is a hand, held, thin window detector designed for use with the Model 190 Survey Meter, and is configured for operating convenience during table top and floor surveys, as well as surveys of personnel and equipment.
The Model 489-110FS includes the GM Pancake Probe, filter set, connecting cable, operating instructions and calibration certificate. If the Model 489-110FS is purchased as a second detector for the Model 190 Survey Meter, a Model 190060 Calibration Module is also required.
The GM Pancake Probe has been modified to accept a set of two “screw on” energy compensation filters, which permit actual energy compensated exposure rates to be determined.
A screen protects the thin mica probe window to facilitate rapid frisking of surfaces with reduced risk of window damage.
The open area of the hexagonal stainless steel screen is 86%. Replacement foam grip handles are available: Model 489-130-44.
A complete kit: Model 190-110KT (shown on next page) is available which includes the Model 489-110FS Probe, one filter set, the Model 190 Survey Meter, connecting cable with module, calibration certificate, operating instructions, and carrying case.
