    Study Notes

    Model 133 Gamma Detector Overview

    • The Model 133 series includes multiple gamma detector models: 133-2, 133-3, 133-4, 133-6, and 133-7.
    • Waterproof models are designated with “-1” suffix, containing an O-ring and hard-wired 30-meter cable.

    Specifications and Performance

    • Recommended operating voltage for most models: 550 Vdc, except for the Model 133-7 at 460 Vdc.
    • Energy response accuracy is within 25% for the range of 60 keV to 3 MeV.
    • Sensitivity levels vary:
      • 133-2 at 1000 cpm/mR/hr
      • 133-3 at 450 cpm/mR/hr
      • 133-4 at 100 cpm/mR/hr
      • 133-6 at 18 cpm/mR/hr
      • 133-7 at 4.2 cpm/mR/hr
    • Background count rates range from 1 to 12 cpm across different models.

    Components and Assemblies

    • Each model includes specific components such as GM tubes, resistor boards, bodies for screws, connector caps, and O-rings.
    • Common parts utilized include:
      • GM TUBE types: LND 71210, LND 71412, LND 71616, and CSF 3G70.
      • Resistor values generally at 3.3 MEG or 4.7 MEG depending on the model.
    • Assembly is delivered fully complete without consumable materials.

    Environmental and Operational Instructions

    • Suitable for use in dry environments indoors or outdoors, with a temperature range from -20 to 50 °C (-4 to 122 °F).
    • Can withstand maximum humidity of less than 95%.
    • Standard cleaning involves using a damp cloth with water; immersion in liquid is prohibited.

    Connection and Testing Procedures

    • To connect, securely attach the cable connectors by twisting clockwise until latched.
    • Before usage, check high voltage settings and ensure a proper background reading is achieved.
    • Tests should validate detector’s response within 20% of calibration readings.

    Safety and Maintenance

    • Adhere to packing instructions for returning instruments, including using appropriate materials to prevent damage.
    • Ensure calibration certificates are retained and match serial numbers for proper tracking.

    Parts List

    • Key part numbers include:
      • Shrink tubing: 22-9501 for 1/16 inch black and 22-9540 for 3/32 inch clear.
      • Connector Series “C”: part number 4478-011.
      • O-rings: “2-016 BUNA 70” (16-8364) and “2-018” (16-8307).
    • Ensure all components align with the respective model specifications.
