  • Page 8: Introduction

    Model 375 Digital Wall-Mount Area Monitor is designed for visibility and ease of use. Featuring a wall-mount chassis, the Model 375 has a four-digit LED display that is readable from 9.1 m (30 ft) away. Backlit indicators warn of low-radiation alarm (yellow), high- radiation alarm (red), instrument failure (red), and low battery (yellow).
  • Page 9: Getting Started

    The Model 375 comes equipped with either an internal detector or a connector for use with an external detector. If your Model 375 is equipped with a connector on the bottom side of the chassis, an external detector is required.
  • Page 10: Radiation Units

    Radiation Units The Model 375 may be calibrated for almost any desired radiation units of measure. Common units of measure include mR/hr, µR/hr, R/hr, mSv/h, µSv/h, cps, cpm, and kcpm. In each case, the unit of measure is indicated underneath the four-digit display.
