440RF/D Low Energy RF Shielded Survey Meter
- CRT leakage measurement
- Ideal for applications in high RF fields
- Measure low energy radiation exposure down to 12 keV
The Model 440RF/D Low Energy RF Shielded Survey Meter is a highly sensitive, low energy, RF shielded survey meter suited for fast, accurate measurements of background and other low radiation levels. Survey meter design is based on CMOS microprocessor technology. The 440RF/D has Electrical Industrial Association approval and is designed to meet the radiation sensitivity and measurement geometry requirements for television receivers set forth by the US Department of HEW. 21 CFR 1020.10 requires “Radiation exposure rates produced by a television receiver shall not exceed 0.5 milliroentgens per hour at a distance of five centimeters from any point on the external surface of the receiver,” as measured in accordance with this section.Applications
The 440RF/D RF shielded instrument is the basis of measurement for radiation exposure in the color television industry. This instrument also is used to measure radiation from radar and transmission towers where RF may be present.

- Resolves 0.02 mR/h from 15 kilovolt x-rays
- Auto-zeroing
- CMOS design for stability and performance
- Batteries accessible from outside instrument
- Available in SI units
