Model 2241-4 Technical Manual Section 3
Ludlum Measurements, Inc. Page 3-2 October 2022
Battery Dependence: Meter readings vary by less than 3% from fully
charged batteries until the battery symbol appears, indicating the need
for recharge or replacement.
Battery Life: typically 200 hours with alkaline batteries (display indicates
low battery condition). Instrument will operate for approximately 24
hours after the battery symbol first appears.
Size: 16.6 x 8.9 x 21.6 cm (6. 5 x 3.5 x 8.5 in.) (H x W x D)
Weight: 1.6 kg (3.5 lb), including batteries
Backlight ON Time: 5, 15, 30, 60, 90, 120, 180, or 240 seconds for the
backlight to stay on when activated by the pushbutton; factory set at 5
Set Minimum Display: allows lower limit of the auto-ranging display to
be fixed. For example, the display can be set to only show values above
or equal to 1 µR/hr.
RS-232 Data Dump Mode: enables or disables dump mode to the RS-
232 port (˝D˝ type connector). When enabled, the data will be dumped
every two seconds.
RS-232 Detector Setup Mode: allows for input of detector parameters
via the RS-232 port
Baud Rate: selects either 150, 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, or
19200 bps
Detector Dead Time Compensation (DTC): adjustable from 0 to 9999
microseconds
Calibration Constant: adjustable from 0.001 to 280 × 109
counts/display unit
Display Units: can display in R/hr (representing rem/hr in this
application), Sv/h, cpm, or cps
Time Base: can display in seconds or minutes
Audio Divide: 1, 10, 100, or 1000 events per click
Response Time: variable or fixed ratemeter response (All stated times
correspond to a range of 10% to 90% of the final reading). The factory
default is ˝variable˝ so that the instrument will automatically adjust the
response time to the best setting for the current count rate.
Variable Response: dependant on the number of counts
present, typically 4 to 25 seconds for FAST and 4 to 60
seconds for SLOW.
Fixed Response: The FAST response position is adjustable
from approximately 2 to 50 seconds. The SLOW response
position is approximately five times slower than the FAST.
For MDA-type measurements, the fixed response mode is
recommended.
