The self-contained 190N measures mRem in accordance with the classical Anderson and Braun design.
The neutron probe can be attached to either a 190 Survey Meter or a 190F Frisker for continuous neutron surveys or area monitoring.
This product has all the salient features of an auto-scaling digital survey meter including data logging. Using the 190-lA Infrared Communicator, manual data logging or automatic preset time data logging is accessible for data handling.
Neutron Probe, RP-N, can be interfaced to the 190F Frisker, with ac power for continuous monitoring.
