The Mini 6-90, 6-91 and 6-92 are all-purpose scaler ratemeters with the option of three separate configurations. They have large, easy-to-view meters, all housed in a durable case.
Product Detail
The instruments in the 6-90 Series are general purpose scaler ratemeters for use with G-M tubes or scintillation probes.
Features
A six-digit liquid crystal display of scaler count with 1cm high characters for ease of readability
A large, robust meter to show counts s-1 or detector voltage depending on model
Preset counting times from 10 seconds to 1,000 seconds in seven steps plus manual timing using the start and stop buttons
Stable time base derived from crystal oscillator
Battery/mains operation using separate power unit or mains only use with built-in power supply
Stabilized detector high voltage supply variable over 300-1,500V range
Tough, splashproof polycarbonate case
Type 6-90 The 6-90 is intended for dedicated applications where field adjustments to the detector operating parameters are not required. The only external controls are the stop/start buttons and function/time select switch. Internal adjustments are provided for detector HV, input sensitivity, and paralysis time. Counts are shown on a 6-digit LCD display and countrate on an analogue meter. The meter is logarithmically scaled with an open scale at the lower end while displaying higher count rates without range switching.
Type 6-91 The 6-91 is similar to the 6-90 but has an external detector HV adjustment control. There is no ratemeter facility. On this model the analogue meter is scaled from 0-1.5kV and displays the detector voltage only. The scaler portion is identical to the 6-90.
Type 6-92 The 6-92 combines the features of the 6-90 and 6-91. In addition to the 6-91 controls, it has a meter select push button. The analogue meter has dual scaling in counts s-1 and 0-1.5kV. It normally shows counts s-1 but by pressing the select button the meter displays detector voltage.
Please note - The last day to purchase a Mini 6-90, Mini 6-91 or a Mini 6-92 is January 1, 2009. Support will be available on these products until January 1, 2012. The recommended replacement products are either the Delta5 Benchtop/Portable Ratemeter or the RadEye B20.
Internally switch selectable 50 mV or 100 mV negative going into 3kW. Input connector: PET series 100. Other types can be fitted. Consult factory
