Model 78-9

The Model 78-9 Stretch Scope telescoping beta-gamma survey meter allows the user to determine surface activity from a distance and reaches areas that are difficult to access with other hand probes. The detector employed is Ludlum's Model 44-9-21 and is removeable from the pole which extends out to 3.6 m (12 ft). A thumbscrew at the end of the pole firmly attaches the detector into place. 

The backlit digital LCD delivers precise 4-digit measurement values, which can be programmed to display units of cps or µSv/h, and is accompanied by icons and messages for operational status of the instrument. This instrument does not incorporate an analog meter as do many of the other Ludlum Model 78 series stretch scopes. The front-panel controls include separate switches for On/Off, Audio, cps/µSv/h, Fast/Slow response, and LCD backlight.

Features
  • Stainless Steel Telescoping Pole to 3.7 m (12 ft)
  • GM Pancake Detector
  • Backlit Digital Display
  • Splashproof Buttons with Switch Guard
  • Adjustable Carrying Strap
  • Removable Handle for More Compact Storage/Transport

Headphone Jack

This modification for survey meters adds a headphone jack to the instrument body so headphones can be used to monitor click-per-event audio and audio alarms. Headphones are helpful when the instrument is being used in areas with high ambient noise levels or in areas where the audio would be distracting to others, such as in a medical or office environment.

Shoulder Strap

This 1.8 m (6 ft) adjustable shoulder strap is a great way to keep your hands free while operating survey meters. The nylon strap with a wide rubber comfort pad can also be helpful for conveying some of the heavier instrument/detector combinations in the field.
