ASP-2 and ASP-2E General Purpose Survey Meters

Detector Connector MHV.
Communications Connector Viking (Order PC cable CA-104-60)
Meter (lighted) Upper scale: 0 to 10 with total 50 divisions (range determined by detector used).
Scale lengths: 3” (7.6 cm).
LCD display Custom, high-contrast design measuring 3" wide x 0.75" high (7.6 x 1.9 cm).

Displays units of measurement, measurement values, alarms, over range, HV fail, fast/slow response time, low battery indication, scaler time, speaker on and PHA on. Also, messages are presented to indicate various settings while viewing in the Check mode.

Units of Measurement
Rate-meter Bq, CPS, CPM, DPS, DPM, Sv/h, Gy/h, R/h, Rem/h
Integrated Gy, Sv, R, Rem, counts, and disintegrations.
Multipliers m(milli), μ(micro), n(nano), or k(kilo).
High voltage output From 300 to 2,500 V.
Input sensitivity Adjustable from 0.75 to 60 mV.
Dead-time compensation Up to 255 μs.
Battery Three C-cell size. Battery life is approximately 100 to 150 hours, depending on the high voltage power required, the speaker usage and the light usage. Low battery icon is displayed whenever there is less than 8 hours of battery remaining.

The optional Windows™ software can be used to configure and calibrate either of the two ASP-2 models. This easy-to-use program operates on any IBM compatible machine running Windows 95 or higher operating systems. This option requires Cable CA-104-60 to link the instrument to the PC.

Three password levels allow larger institutions to control access to critical calibration factors, while allowing users to reconfigure the instrument to suit their preferences or to suit a given task. Configuration and calibration are categorized into three basic levels to accommodate the instrument, the probe and the operating channels.

The PC software makes calibration easy, by automatically determining the proper high voltage and calibration constant. A number of utility functions also check the battery status, program version or download default values.

Accessories
A full range of GM, scintillation, and proportional probes, detector cables, check sources and probe holders are available for use with ASP2/2e. The ASP2/2e is also offered with the SPA-8 as a μR Meter and with the NRD as a Neutron Rem Meter. Separate data sheets describing these products are available.
