1.2 LB 134 Probes
The integrated gamma dose rate probe LB 1346 is a Geiger-
Müller tube and is suitable for the low dose rate range from
0.1 µSv/h to 20 mSv/h and for an energy range from 50 to
1300 keV. Calibration factor: 0.625 µSv/h/cps, intrinsic back-
ground: 0.07 cps. The probe is calibrated to the H*(10) standard
(ambient equivalent dose rate). To extend the life of the batter-
ies/rechargeable batteries, the supply of the internal probe is
switched off in the menu when not in use.
Currently, the following probes can be connected external-
ly using a coiled cable:

More detailed probe data can be found in chapter 7. The follow-
ing important probe dependent parameters are stored in the pa-
rameter sets for each probe: Calibration factors, dead times, al-
lowed measuring ranges, alarm levels, units, fail thresholds and
more. The calibration factors for the contamination probes are
stored both for the older DIN 25415 standard as well as for the
more recent DIN ISO 7503 standard. The intrinsic background,
which is a detector property, is stored for the gamma dose rate
probes and should not be changed.
