Panoramic Survey Meter
Victoreen® Model 470A

The Model 470A Panoramic Survey Meter is designed to be used in and around medical facilities for many low level radiation monitoring activities. The Model 470A has a very low energy response (down to 10 keV). That makes it ideal for diagnostic x-ray suites, including mammography. Since this meter can measure up to 1000 R/h, it is also ideal for radiotherapy facilities. The Cutie Pie style of this meter allows it to sit on three legs for long-term monitoring or to be used as a hand-held survey meter with the convenient grip handle.

Applications

The Model 470A is popular in health physics instrumentation. Solid state IC technology is utilized to simplify circuitry, reduce weight and increase reliability. Designed to provide the user with convenience as well as measurement accuracy, the Model 470A has numerous applications in the health physics field. Certainly its outstanding features will suggest many other areas beside diagnostic x-ray and radiotherapy suites where it can be used to great advantage.
