1. GENERAL
The Model 3-97 is a portable survey instrument with four linear ranges. Typical range values are 0-
3000 R/hr for the internal detector and 0-200 mR/hr for the external detector. The instrument
features an internal scintillator that detects low-level gamma radiation, and also features the
capability of utilizing an external probe by a switch on the front panel labeled INT/EXT. Separate
high-voltage adjustments for the internal and external probes are provided. The high-voltage power
supply is regulated and adjustable from 200 to 1200 V. The unit body is made of cast aluminum,
including the meter housing. The can is 0.23 cm (0.090 in.) aluminum. Other operating features of
the instrument include a unimorph speaker mounted to the instrument can with an audio ON-OFF
capability, fast-slow meter response, meter reset button, and a six-position switch for selecting
battery check or scale multiples of X0.1, X1, X10, and X100. Each range multiplier has its own
calibration potentiometer.
Most Ludlum Measurements GM probes will operate on this unit, as will many of the scintillation
detectors. The external high voltage is factory set for 900 V. For special requirements, it may be
adjusted for operation with any GM or scintillator tube between 400 and 1500 V.
The unit is operated with two "D" cell flashlight batteries for operation from approximately 0 to 65
°C (32 to 150 oF). For temperature operation to -18 °C (0 oF), either very fresh alkaline or
rechargeable NiCd batteries maybe used. Battery drain averages 17 milliamperes.

3. DESCRIPTION OF CONTROLS AND FUNCTIONS
Range Multiplier Selector Switch: a six-
position switch marked OFF, BAT, X100,
X10, X1, X0.1. Turning the range selector
switch from OFF to BAT position provides the
operator a battery check of the instrument. A
BAT check scale on the meter provides a visual
means of checking the battery status. Moving
the range selector switch to one of the range
multiplier positions (X0.1, X1, X10, X100)
provides the operator with typical overall
ranges of 0-3000 R/hr and 0-200 mR/hr.
Multiply the scale reading by the multiplier for
determining the actual reading.
AUD ON-OFF Toggle Switch: In the ON
position, the switch energizes the unimorph
speaker, located on the left side of the
instrument. The frequency of the clicks is
relative to the rate of the incoming pulses. The
higher the rate, the higher the audio frequency.
The audio should be turned OFF when not
required to reduce battery drain.
F-S Toggle Switch: Provides meter response.
Selecting the fast, "F" position, of the toggle
switch provides 90% of the final meter reading
in four seconds. In slow, "S" position, 90% of
the final meter reading takes
22 seconds. In the "F" position, there is fast
response and large meter deviation. In the "S"
position, there is a slow response and damped
meter deviation.
RESET Pushbutton: When depressed,
provides a rapid means to drive the meter to
zero.
INT/EXT Switch: a two-position switch used
to alternate between the internal scintillation
detector and the external probe. In the INT
position, the internal detector is utilized. In the
EXT position, the external probe is utilized.
H.V. Adjustment: provides a means to vary
the high voltage from 400 to 1500 volts. The
high voltage setting may be checked at the
probe connector with an appropriate voltmeter.
Range Calibration Adjustments: recessed
potentiometers located under the calibration
cover, on the right side of the front panel.
These adjustment controls allow individual
calibration for each range multiplier.

4. OPERATING PROCEDURES
Note: To open the Battery Lid, twist the lid
button counterclockwise a quarter-turn. To
close, twist clockwise a quarter-turn.
Open the Battery Lid and install two "D"
size batteries. Note (+) (-) marks on the
inside of the lid. Match the battery polarity
to these marks.
NOTE: The center post of flashlight battery is
positive. Close the battery box lid.
Switch the range switch to BAT. The
meter should deflect to the battery check
portion of the meter scale. If the meter
does not respond, recheck that the batteries
have proper polarity.
Turn the INT/EXT switch to EXT.
Connect a detector to the M3-97.
Turn the instrument range switch to X100.
Expose the detector to a check source. The
speaker should click with the AUDIO ON-
OFF switched to ON.
Move the range switch to the lower scales
until a meter reading is indicated. The
toggle switch labeled F-S should have fast
response in "F"and slow response in "S".
Depress the RES switch. The meter should
zero.
Turn the INT/EXT switch to INT and hold
the check source to the end of the can until
a meter reading is indicated.
Note: To assure proper operation of the
instrument between calibrations, an instrument
operational check should be performed prior to
use. A reference reading with a check source
should be obtained at the time of initial
calibration or as soon as possible afterwards,
for confirming correct operation. Confirm the
proper reading on each scale.
If the instrument does not read within 20% of
the proper reading, it should be sent in to a
calibration facility for recalibration.

5. CALIBRATION
5.1 Detector Operating Point
CAUTION: The detector operating voltage is
connected to both detectors at all times,
regardless of which position the detector
INT/EXT switch is set. Typically an external
GM type detector is used and the maximum
operating voltage is 1000 Vdc; therefore, the
internal detector operating voltage must be kept
below 1000 Vdc.
5.1.1 Internal Detector Calibration
Switch the INT/EXT switch to the INT
position. Expose the unit to a 241Am
source and develop an operating
voltage (HV) versus count-rate plot.
Adjust the HVI potentiometer to vary
the internal detector operating voltage.
The operating voltage can be monitored
through the external connector. Set the
operating voltage at the flattest portion
of this curve.
Note: Measure high voltage with a Model
500 pulser or a high-impedance voltmeter
with a minimum of 1000 megohm input
resistance.
The Model 3-97 internal scintillation
detector radiation response is energy
dependent. An energy response curve is
included in the drawing section at the
back of this manual.
Place the Model 3-97 on a certified
calibration range. Use the indentations
on the sides of the can to position the
internal detector to the center of the
calibration line. Calibrate each scale
for the best fit at two-thirds and one-
third-scale readings (10 and 20 R/hr).
Confirm that the calibration is within
10% of each reading.
If the appropriate radiation fields are not
available, switch the instrument to the lowest
calibrated range position and perform the
following:
Connect a Ludlum Model 500 Pulser to
the external connector and switch the
INT/EXT switch to the EXT position.
With the Model 3-97 switch to the
lowest calibrated range position,
determine the pulse rate versus R/hr
calibration point. Decade the pulser
and Model 3-97 to the next lower range
and calibrate the meter to the
corresponding point determined in the
previous step. Decade down and
calibrate the remaining range positions.
After all the range positions are calibrated,
monitor the background radiation level.
Typical radiation background levels range
from 5-10 R/hr.
5.1.2 External Detector Calibration
For most external GM detector
applications, the detector operating may be
adjusted for 900 Vdc. Set the HV to the
recommended detector operating voltage.

Place the external GM detector on a
certified calibration range. Check each
range position at three-fourths and one-
fourth-scale and confirm the reading is
within 10%. If the reading error is
greater than 10% but less than 20% of
reading, record the field versus the
meter reading at three-fourths and one-
fourth scale. State the correction factor
on the calibration sticker for the
specific range.

5.1.3 CPM and mR/hr Meterface
For the combination CPM and mR/hr meter
face, calibrate the external detector with a
calibrated certified range. Record the field
versus CPM meter reading for the internal
detector at various points on the calibration
range.
6. MAINTENANCE
Instrument maintenance consists of keeping the
instrument clean and periodically checking the
batteries and the calibration.
To assure proper operation of the instrument
between calibrations, the instrument should be
tested with a check source prior to each use. A
reference reading should be obtained when
exposed to the check source in a constant and
reproducible manner at the time of calibration.
If the instrument response differs from the
reference reading by more than 20%, the
instrument should be returned to a calibration
facility for maintenance, repair, or
recalibration, as required.
Recalibration should be accomplished after any
maintenance or adjustment of any kind has
been performed on the instrument. Battery
replacements are not considered to be
maintenance and do not normally require the
instrument to be recalibrated.
Ludlum Measurements recommends
recalibration at intervals no greater than one
year. Check the appropriate regulations to
determine required recalibration intervals.
The batteries should be removed and the
battery contacts cleaned of any corrosion at
least every three months. If the instrument has
been exposed to a very dusty or corrosive
atmosphere, more frequent battery servicing
should be used.
Use a spanner wrench to unscrew the battery
contact insulators, exposing the internal
contacts and battery springs. Removing the
handle will facilitate access to these contacts.
Note: Never store the instrument over 30 days
without removing batteries. Although this
instrument will operate at very high ambient
temperatures, battery seal failure can occur at
temperatures as low as 38 °C (100 °F).

7. THEORY OF OPERATION
7.1 Input
The external detector pulses are coupled
from the detector through C3 to emitter
follower Q5. R10 and R20 provide bias.
R32 protects Q5 from input shorts. R38
couples the detector to the high-voltage
supply.
The internal detector (V1) pulses are
coupled from the detector through C27 to
emitter follower Q7. R21 and R41 provide
bias to Q7. R40 protects Q7 from input
shorts. R39 couples V1 to the high-voltage
supply.
The internal detector is used only when the
INT/EXT switch is in the INT position. In
the EXT position, the external detector is
used. When in the EXT position, P1-13 is
grounded, turning off Q6, allowing the
pulses from Q5 to pass on to the amplifier.
P1-14 is opened, allowing R4 to bias Q8,
pulling the pulses from the base of Q7 to
ground and blocking them from the
amplifier. In the INT position, P1-14 is
grounded, turning off Q8, allowing the
pulses from Q7 to pass on to the amplifier.
P1-13 is opened allowing R47 to bias Q6,
pulling the pulses from the base of Q5 to
ground and blocking them from the
amplifier.
7.2 Amplifier
A self-biased amplifier provides gain in
proportion to R33, divided by R6 for the
external detector and R33, divided by R44
for the internal detector. Pins 1, 2, and 6 of
U9A provide amplification. U1 is coupled
as a current mirror to provide a load for U4.
The output self-biases to 2 Vbe
(approximately 1.4 volts) at pin 1 of U4.
This provides just enough bias current
through pin 3 of U4 to conduct all of the
current from the current mirror.
Positive pulses from pin 7 of U4 are
coupled to the discriminator.
7.3 Discriminator
Comparator U5 provides discrimination.
The discriminator is set by the voltage
divider, R8 and R5, coupled to pin 3 of U5.
The comparator output pulses are coupled
to pin 5 of U6 for meter drive and pin 12 of
U6 for audio.
7.4 Audio
Discriminator pulses are coupled to
univibrator pin 12 of U6. Front panel
audio ON-OFF selector controls the reset at
pin 13 of U6. When ON, pulses from pin
10 of U6 turn on oscillator U2, which
drives the can-mounted unimorph. The
speaker tone is set by R13 and C12;
duration by R36 and C23.
7.5 Digital Analog Convertor
Pins 10-15 of U1 are coupled as a current
mirror. For each pulse of current through
R9, an equal current is delivered to C22.
This charge is drained off by R42. The
voltage across C22 is proportional to the
incoming count rate.
7.6 Scale Ranging
Detector pulses from the discriminator are
coupled to univibrator pin 5 of U6. For
each scale change, the pulse width of pin 6
of U6 is changed by a factor of 10, with the
actual pulse width being controlled by the
front-panel calibration controls and their
related capacitors. This arrangement
allows the same current to be delivered to
C22 by one-tenth of a count on the X.1
range as 100 counts on X1K range.

Model 3-97 Survey Meter

7.7 Meter Drive
The meter is driven by the emitter of Q3,
coupled as a voltage follower in
conjunction with pin 1 of U3. For the
battery test, the voltage follower is
bypassed, and the meter movement is
directly coupled to the battery through R26.
7.8 Meter Compensation
When the unit is provided with a high-
torque meter movement, with 1.2 V drive,
a temperature compensation circuit is
provided on the main circuit board by way
of components R15, R17, and R23.
7.9 Fast/Slow Time Constant
For the slow time constant, C29 is switched
from the output of the meter drive to
parallel C22.
7.10 Low Voltage Supply
Battery voltage is coupled to U8 and
associated components (a switching
regulator) to provide 5 V at pin 5 to power
all logic circuits. Unregulated battery
voltage is used to power the meter drive
(Q3) and the high-voltage blocking
oscillator (Q2).
7.11 Low Voltage Reference
U7 provides a 1.22 V precision reference
for HV supplyand discriminator reference.
7.12 High Voltage Supply
High voltage is developed by blocking
oscillator Q2-T1 and rectified by voltage
multiplier CR1, CR2, CR3, and CR4.
Output voltage increases as current through
Q1 increases, with maximum output
voltage with Q1 saturated.
High voltage is coupled back through R12
to pin 6 of opamp U3. R2 completes the
high-voltage circuit-to-ground. High-
voltage output is accomplished by setting
the bias of pin 5 of U3 with R5 (internal) or
R7 (external), located on the calibration
circuit board. During stable operation, the
voltage at pin 6 of U3 will equal the
voltage at pin 5 of U3. Pin 7 of U3 will
cause conduction of Q1 to increase or
decrease until the high voltage seeks a level
of stability.
