A multi-purpose instrument, combining the functions of a multi-purpose timer, a ratemeter and a frequency meter in one compact and economical unit.
Uses in the timer mode range from a simple stopwatch to more sophisticated applications such as dynamics experiments with air tracks etc. The scaler and ratemeter modes allow numerous radioactivity experiments to be undertaken, for example, variations in background radiation, half-life determination and investigation of absorption coefficients. When used as a frequency meter the instrument will accept diversified waveforms and may be used, for example, to determine the rotational frequency of a stroboscope disc and for displaying the frequency of a waveform from a signal generator. It has four, 7-segment LED digits, 13mm high.
Please note this unit replaces the EL10439 IPC scaler timer that used the now obsolete PET connector for connecting GM tubes. The PET connector has been replaced by a TNC connector. Users will require GM tube stand PY2039 to operate a ZP1481 GM tube. The unit is built into a robust metal case with a durable powder coated finish.
