The NORM-PKN includes the DSM-525, a GM Pancake Probe (CPM) and GSP-1 NaI Scintillation probe (Dose Rate). The combination of the two probes is perfect for measuring NORM and TENORM radiation. The Pancake and Scintillation probes are both connected to the instrument at the same time so the user can switch between them at any time without having to power the instrument down. The Instrument boasts an oversized auto-ranging digital display with features that include a scaler for counts per unit of time, display error indications, and audible/visual ALARMS.
