Introduction
T
he Model 375 Digital Wall-Mount Area Monitor is designed for
visibility and ease of use. Featuring a wall-mount chassis, the Model
375 has a four-digit LED display that is readable from 9.1 m (30 ft)
away. Backlit indicators warn of low-radiation alarm (yellow), high-
radiation alarm (red), instrument failure (red), and low battery (yellow). A green
status light is a positive indication of instrument operation.
Parameters are protected under a calibration cover. Calibration is easily

accomplished by moving the cal dipswitch to the right, and using the
pushbuttons to increment or decrement the calibration constant, dead time
correction, and alarm point parameters. Parameters are stored in non-volatile
memory (retained even with power disconnected).
A five-decade logarithmic analog output is provided. A battery backup provides

48 hours of additional use after the primary power is removed. Depending on
the needs of the customer, the Model 375 comes equipped with an internal
detector or a connector for use with an external detector. The Model 375/1
comes equipped with an internal CsI scintillator detector. The Model 375/2
and 375/4 come equipped with internal, energy-compensated GM detectors.
The Ludlum Model 375 Series One is a Model 375 with modified firmware.
Changes include certain display values in decimal points and units. Details can
be found in sections “Getting Started” and “Specifications.”

Section
Getting Started
T
he Model 375 Digital Wall-Mount Area Monitor is designed for
ease of use. This section of the manual is designed to help the first-
time user get started. Initial power-up and basic features of the
Model 375 will be discussed in this section. Other sections of the
manual provide more detailed information.
External Detector (Option)

Warning!
Potential electrical shock hazard - Do not touch the center
pin of the detector connector unless the unit has turned off
and power has been removed for at least one minute.
The Model 375 comes equipped with either an internal detector or a

connector for use with an external detector. If your Model 375 is equipped
with a connector on the bottom side of the chassis, an external detector is
required. If you have an external detector, use the cable provided to connect
it to the Model 375.
Note:
Splicing or re-terminating cables must be done carefully.
Improper termination will result in the “shorting out” of the
detector voltage, a DET FAIL, and/or blown-fuse condition.
Power Up
Plug the wall-mount 9 Vdc power supply into a suitable wall (Mains) outlet.

If the RS-232 feature is used, plug in a suitably wired 9-pin

connector cable. (See Page 4-4 for the pin assignment of the 9-pin
connector.) Turn power ON with the left side panel switch. Do
not turn power OFF unless the unit is to be removed from service.
Read and then remove the sticker (illustrated to the left) from the
instrument calibration cover. Checking and setting of the alarm
point(s) is discussed in detail below and on pages 2-3 and 7-1 of
this manual.
Initial power-up will momentarily activate the internal front-panel lights,

sound the audio, and display "8888" on the 4-digit LED display. The
firmware version number (396Nyy) is then displayed as "396" and "xxyy"
(where xx and yy represents the current version number).
When the instrument has finished measuring background, it will display the
current radiation reading and begin checking for an alarm condition.
Radiation Units
The Model 375 may be calibrated for almost any desired radiation units of
measure. Common units of measure include mR/hr, µR/hr, R/hr, mSv/h,
µSv/h, cps, cpm, and kcpm. In each case, the unit of measure is indicated
underneath the four-digit display. Throughout the rest of this manual, the
notation <units> will be used as a substitute.
Checking Parameters
Check the low alarm point setting by pressing the LOW ALARM button. The
low alarm point will be displayed as long as the button is pressed. The low
alarm point is in units of <units>. The low alarm point can be set from 0.1
<units> to 9999 <units>*.
Check the high alarm point setting by pressing the HIGH ALARM button. The
high alarm point will be displayed as long as the button is pressed. The
highalarm point is in units of <units>. The high alarm point can be set from
0.1 <units> to 9999 <units>*.
Check the calibration constant by pressing the CAL CONST button. The
calibration constant will be displayed as long as the button is pressed. The
calibration constant is in units of cpm (counts per minute) per <units>*.
The calibration constant can be set from 0.1 cpm/<units> to 9999
cpm/<units>*.

Check the detector dead time correction by pressing down on the DEAD
TIME button. The dead time correction will be displayed as long as the
button is pressed. The dead time correction is in units of microseconds*.
The dead time correction can be set from 0.1 microseconds to 9999 micro-
seconds*.
* Model 375 Series One: In the special case of the Model 375 Series One,
make note of the following changes resulting from firmware modification:
With the RANGE dipswitch in the left position, two decimal places will
be displayed.
With the RANGE dipswitch in the right position, no decimal place will be
displayed.
Calibration constant will be displayed in cps per unit, instead of cpm per
unit.
Dead Time Correction will display in 10ths of microseconds (i.e. 0.50

µsec instead of 5 µsec).
Setting Alarm Points

The LOW ALARM and HIGH ALARM points can only be changed while the
instrument is in calibration mode. Switch the top dipswitch CAL MODE
(behind the calibration cover) to the right to place the instrument into
calibration mode.
Changing alarm points is done by holding down the corresponding

parameter key and pressing the up or down arrow buttons. Alarm points can
be set in the range of 0.1 to 9999*. When an alarm point is changed, the
instrument will sound an audible beep to confirm the saving of the
parameter, and will then return to displaying the current radiation level.
Note:
Once the alarm point(s) is set, it is important to remember to
switch the CAL MODE switch back to the left. This action
protects the parameters from inadvertent changes.

Operational Check (optional)

The operational check is an important assurance that the radiation detector
and electronics are working correctly.
Note:
Ludlum Measurements suggests that an operational check be
performed on a regular basis. Local procedures may
supersede this suggestion.
For an operational check, it is necessary to use a radiation check source (not

included, but available). When not being used, store the check source in a
secure area.
Note:
LMI check sources present very minimal risks and are
therefore unlicensed (Exempt Quantity Sources reference:
10 CFR 30.71 Schedule B). The radioactive element is sealed
(permanently bonded or fixed inside a capsule) so you need
not wash your hands after handling. Radiation exposure
while handling this source is very minimal with no identified
long or short term risks. Although the amount of radiation
given off by exempt sources is so low that it presents no
significant hazard, they should be handled with care and
respect. Time, distance, and shielding are the best ways to
control exposure.
1. Taking the source in hand, place it so that it is located on or near

the center (same location each time) of the detector. (For
internal detector models, a metal plate on the bottom of the
chassis identifies the location of the internal detector.) Hold it
there for approximately five seconds or until the reading
stabilizes. Take note of the displayed level of radiation.
2. Verify that the reading is within 20% of the last reading

obtained. Remove the source from the detector.
3. If an alarm is activated, ensure that all visual and audible devices

(if applicable) work correctly.

Operator Controls and Setup
Calibration Controls
Remove the calibration cover to expose the calibration controls.
Warning!
Do not touch the circuit board in the calibration window
due to potential for electric shock.
The calibration controls include the up/down buttons, five calibration

potentiometers, and the option dipswitch (detailed in the following
subsection). The five potentiometers are detailed below.
ANALOG: used to adjust the logarithmic analog voltage output. Adjusted

in calibration mode to the full-scale voltage reading or adjusted to a
known point at some given reading.
HV: used to set the high voltage required for detector operation.
Adjustable from 450-2500 Vdc. The high voltage required will depend
on the type of detector used. Internal GM detectors typically require 550
Vdc. Be sure to check the high voltage with a high impedance (1000-
Mohm impedance) voltmeter only. A high-voltage checkpoint is located
next to the HV potentiometer.
DISC: internal discriminator used to set negative pulse threshold for

counting pulses from the detector. Pad allows direct measurement of
threshold voltage. Utilize a Ludlum Model 500 Pulser or equivalent to
inject pulses of the desired threshold size. The pulse height threshold is
adjustable from 2.0 mVdc to 100 mVdc.
BAT CHARGE: used to set the backup battery trickle charging voltage. It
is set to 6.9 Vdc while the battery is disconnected.

OVERLOAD: used to set the detector current overload point. When

excessive radiation causes the detector to overload, this set point will
cause the FAIL light to engage, and the display will be forced to -OL-.
Dipswitch (under calibration cover)

When the calibration cover is removed, a four-pole dipswitch is accessible
that can activate or deactivate options. These four options are CAL MODE,
LATCH ALARM, RANGE, and SINGLE BEEP.
Dipswitch 1: Switching the top CAL MODE switch to the right places the
instrument into calibration mode. Parameters can only be changed while
the instrument is in calibration mode. Calibration mode also changes the
analog output to full-scale so that the full-scale voltage may be set by the
ANALOG potentiometer. Calibration mode also slows the response time
of the display and increases the accuracy. If the display seems too erratic,
leaving this switch in the calibration mode during operation will help.
Moving the CAL MODE switch back to the left locks the parameters and
disables any further changes.
Dipswitch 2: The second switch, LATCH ALARM, changes the high

alarm to a latching alarm. This switch does not affect the low alarm,
which is always non-latching. When switched to the left, the high alarm
is non-latching; the alarm automatically turns off when the radiation
level drops below the alarm point. When switched to the right, the high
alarm light and audio signals are latched until either the LOW ALARM or
HIGH ALARM button is pressed.
Dipswitch 3: The third switch, RANGE, selects the range of the

instrument. To select the 0.1 <units> - 999.9 <units>* range, switch the
RANGE switch to the left. To select the 1 <units> - 9999 <units>*
range, switch the RANGE switch to the right.
Dipswitch 4: Switching the fourth switch to the right places the

instrument into SINGLE-BEEP mode. This option limits the audio
output to a single half-second beep on LOW ALARM and HIGH ALARM.
DET FAIL audio output (steady tone) is not limited.
* See note on page 2-3 regarding Model 375 Series One.

Common Options and

Modifications
Relay Options
Internal Circuit-Board-Mounted Relays
A 9-pin connector with male pins provides connection to three fail-safe

form C relays, activiated by the LOW ALARM (alert), HIGH ALARM, and
instrument FAIL. These contacts are potential-free (non-powered), but can
handle 125 Vac at 0.3 A or 30 Vdc at 1 A.
For additional flexibility, additional relay options are available at extra cost:
Form C Relay (3 pin connector added) PN4558-036:
This option allows the user to access the fail-safe form C contacts
(normally open, normally closed, and common), which activate upon
HIGH ALARM. This is achieved by using an additional 3-pin connector
with male pins, located at the bottom of the instrument, wired in
parallel with the 9 pin D male pin connector. These contacts are
potential-free (non-powered), but can handle 125 Vac at 0.3 A or 30
Vdc at 1 A.
RL1 Relay
The added 3-pin connector has the following connections

(shown energized):
Pin 1- normally open (NO) (ORG)
Pin 2- common (BRN)
Pin 3- normally closed (NC) (RED)

External Mains (120 or 240 VAC) Alarm Relay Out (using 3 pin
connector) PN4558-038:
Allows the use of the 9-pin D female connector for RS-232 or remote use
and does not interfere with the internal form C relays.
This option includes a small enclosure connected to the Model 375 via a
short cable, that accepts a standard mains power cord (conduit option is
4558-038-1). In an ALARM condition, the mains voltage is relayed to a
set of terminals. Only a licensed electrician should install this option.

Ethernet Interface Option

A 10-BaseT Ethernet interface may be added internally for network
reporting, using Ludlum software:
 4558-098 LMI “Ethernet” Hardware Interface
 4558-105 LMI “Webpage” Hardware Interface
Either the Ethernet software (1370-055) or the Webpage software (1370-

077) must be purchased separately (site-licensed).
Time and Date Stamp Option

Description:
When an alarm or failure occurs, the Model 375 will print the current
reading, date, time, and either ALARM or FAIL to the RS-232 port. The Model
375 will print once every 30 seconds as long as the alarm or fail condition is
present.
Setup:
You will need the following: a Model 375 instrument, a CBM-910 40-
column printer, and a cable (8558-142).
The printer should be configured at 2400 bps (baud), no parity, 8 data

bits, 1 stop bit, and no handshaking. See printer manual for proper setup
instructions.
Setting the date and time:
Check the month and day (MMDD) by pressing the LOW ALARM and
HIGH ALARM buttons simultaneously. The month and day will be
displayed as long as those buttons are pressed. The month and day can be
set from 0101 to 1231.
Check the year (YYYY) by pressing the LOW ALARM and CAL CONST
buttons simultaneously. The year will be displayed as long as those
buttons are pressed. The year can be adjusted from 0000 to 9999.
Check the hours and minutes (HHMM) by pressing the LOW ALARM and
DEAD TIME buttons simultaneously. The hours and minutes will be
displayed as long as those buttons are pressed. The hours and minutes
can be adjusted from 0000 to 2359.

RS-232 Data Format:
The data will be sent to the RS-232 port as:

Printer DIP Switch Settings

Citizen Dot Matrix Printer Model CBM-910 Type II
Please refer to page 32 of the printer user’s manual for the location of the
DIP Switches. Switches 2, 3, and 6 should be in the ON position (toward the
back of the printer). Switches 1, 4, 5, 7, and 8 should be in the OFF position
(toward the front of the printer).

Sigma Alarm Modification Option

With this option, special firmware allows the Model 375 to have a sigma-
based alarm point in addition to a regular fixed alarm point. This sigma-
based alarm point allows the user to have a floating alarm point that will stay
at “x” sigma above the radiation background. As the background changes,
the sigma alarm also changes. The sigma alarm, when activated, activates a
rapid beeping and activates the HIGH ALARM indicator on the front panel of
the Model 375.
To set the sigma alarm, one first needs to consult a probability table showing
one-sided sigma values. If the sigma alarm (read or set by the LOW ALARM
button) is set to 3.0, that setting statistically means that 99.87% of normal
background readings would be less than the alarm point. To look at the false
alarm rate, it means that 0.13% or 1 out of 769 comparisons would result in
a false alarm. Since comparisons are made every second, a setting of 3.0 will
result in a false alarm about every 13 minutes. Similarly, a setting of 5.0
would result in a false alarm every 38 days. To actually calculate the sigma
alarm point, it is necessary first to determine the background radiation level
in cps (counts per second). The sigma alarm point is then BKGND + (x
sigma × square root of BKGND).
The HIGH ALARM has not been changed; it is still a fixed alarm point and will
be activated when the radiation level exceeds that setpoint. This feature
allows the sigma alarm to trigger quickly if a small amount of radiation is
present and allows the fixed alarm to warn that the background radiation is
too high. Since the sigma alarm is allowed to rise if the background rises, the
HIGH ALARM is necessary to have an absolute value or ceiling for the
radiation level. The time constant for the background radiation level and the
displayed radiation reading is 20 seconds. The sigma alarm is not activated
until 60 seconds after the Model 375 is turned ON, in order to allow the
Model 375 to accumulate a stable background radiation reading.
Two other changes were made to the Model 375. The first change was to
deactivate the LOW ALARM indicator. Both the sigma-based alarm (set by the
LOW ALARM button) and the fixed alarm (HIGH ALARM button) trigger the
HIGH ALARM indicator. The second change was to lower the detector loss-
of-count time frame to 15 seconds. This change means that the DET FAIL
indicator is activated if no pulses are received from the radiation detectors in
15 seconds. Since the sigma alarm is most useful for scintillation detectors
that have several hundred pulses per minute, this change allows a faster
determination of detector failure.

4 to 20 mA Isolated Output Driver Option

4 to 20 mA Driver (Isolated) Modification Kit Part Number 4558-104
This circuit may be added to replace the Model 375 analog output, providing
an isolated 4 to 20 mA output capability. The circuit board (LMI Part
Number 5396-754) takes the analog output, varying between 0 and 5.00
volts, and converts it to a current output of 4 to 20 mA.
The circuit has an internal loop supply, generating +12 Vdc from the
RAWDC of the Model 375. It is designed for a 2-wire configuration, with
one conductor carrying the 4-20 mA current signal and the second
conductor providing a return (isolated loop ground). See Wiring Diagram,
Figure 4 (below).

Electrical Safety Precautions

Warning!
Observe the following instructions to avoid a potentially
hazardous situation which, if mishandled, could result in
death or serious personal injury, as well as property damage.
 Do not expose the unit to rain or an environment where it may be

splashed by water or other liquids, as doing so may result in fire or
electric shock.
 Use the unit only with the voltage specified on the unit. Using a
voltage higher than that which is specified may result in fire or
electric shock.
 Do not cut, kink, or otherwise damage nor modify the power supply
cord. IN addition, avoid using the power cord in close proximity to
heaters, and never place heavy objects – including the unit itself –
on the power cord, as doing so may result in fire or electric shock.
 Avoid installing or mounting the unit or its power supply in unstable

conditions, such as a rickety table or a slanted surface. Doing so may

result in the unit falling down and causing personal injury and/or
property damage.
Replacement of Main Fuse (Side Panel)

Warning!
For continued protection against risk of fire, replace only
with fuse of the specified type and current rating.
Detector Connector
Warning!
Potential electrical shock hazard: do not touch the center pin
of the detector connector unless the unit has turned off and
power has been removed for at least one minute.
Battery Replacement
Warning!
Only certified technicians or calibration personnel should
replace battery.
Note:
Ludlum Measurements, Inc. recommends replacing batteries
every four years.

Section
Calibration
High Voltage
The high voltage is adjustable from 450-2500 Vdc using the HV
potentiometer located under the calibration cover. The high voltage required
will depend on the type of detector used. Internal GM detectors usually
require 550 Vdc. Ensure that the high voltage is checked only with a high-
impedance (≥1000 megohm) voltmeter. A high-voltage checkpoint is
located next to the HV potentiometer.
Warning!
Do not touch the circuit board in the calibration window
due to potential for electric shock.
Calibration Parameters
The calibration parameters, LOW ALARM, HIGH ALARM, CAL CONST, and
DEAD TIME can only be changed while in calibration mode. Switch the top
dipswitch CAL MODE to the right to switch into calibration mode. Changing
any parameter is done by holding down the parameter key and pressing the
up or down arrow buttons. Any parameter can be set in the range of 0.1 to
9999*. If a parameter is changed, the instrument will beep to confirm the
saving of the parameter, and then return to displaying the current radiation
level.
The calibration constant (CAL CONST) is set when the detector is exposed to
a "low" radiation field. A "low" radiation field in this case is defined as a field
where dead time losses do not exceed 5%. The calibration constant is usually
given for a certain detector. A Ludlum Model 133-4 detector, for example,
has a calibration constant of approximately 100 cpm/mR/hr. Once the
calibration constant is set and checked at a low radiation field, the dead time
correction can be set.

The dead time correction (DEAD TIME) is set when the detector is exposed to a
"high" radiation field. A "high" radiation field in this case is defined as a field
where dead time losses exceed 30%. The dead time correction will elevate the
ratemeter reading to account for counts arriving at the detector during the
detector's dead time. GM tubes typically have long dead times from 50-150
microseconds. Neutron and scintillation detectors generally have short dead times
of 1-5 microseconds.
Note:
Once parameters are set, it is important to remember to
switch the CAL MODE switch back to the left. This action
protects the parameters from inadvertent changes.
Analog Output
The analog output is a five-decade logarithmic voltage-out. The maximum
voltage-out while under primary power is 6 volts. The maximum voltage-out
while under battery backup power is 4.5 volts. The five decades are:
0.1 <units> - 1.0 <units>*

1 <units> - 10 <units>*
10 <units> - 100 <units>*
100 <units> - 1000 <units>*
1000 <units> - 10000 <units>*
When the CAL MODE dip switch is switched to the right, the analog output
goes to full scale. The analog output goes to full scale during a DET FAIL
condition.
Discriminator
The DISC potentiometer located under the calibration cover is used to set the
threshold for pulses coming from the detector. The desired pulse threshold
depends on the type of detector used. It is adjustable from 2.0 mVdc to 100
mVdc.
Battery Charge
The potentiometer labeled BAT, located under the calibration cover, is used
to set the backup battery trickle-charge voltage. This is typically set to 6.9
Vdc with the battery disconnected.
