RDS-31™ Multi-purpose survey meter

The RDS-31 Multi-purpose Survey Meter is a small handheld, battery operated survey instrument using an energy compensated GM-tube as primary detector. Due to its versatile functions and durability it is suited for a wide range of applications in civil defense, industrial and laboratory use etc.

The RDS-31 meter features excellent ergonomics; lightweight and easy handling, with visual and audible alarms and internal vibrator. The large graphic display with Energy Save Backlight is well visible even in sunny conditions due to the illumination control.

To extend the capabilities of the instrument, an external GMP-25™ probe can be connected to RDS-31 meter directly through binder connector.
