For Radiology Quality Assurance

The 3036 Advantages ...

  • Cost effective, easy to use compact unit.
  • Use for both above and below table X-ray sources with the built-in bi-directional
    ion chamber.
  • “Hands off” operation in Pulse mode for dose and time in a single exposure.
  • Rate mode is available for fluoroscopic diagnostic measurements.
  • Battery operated and automatic shut-down after ten minutes of inactivity.
  • A built-in test function permits verification of operation for all functions.
  • Can be used for X-ray machines with AEC by employing optional external ion chamber.

30A6-Chamber Adapter


Chamber Adapter
Size: 6 x 6 x 12 cm
Weight: 200 gm
Cable: 1 meter


The 30A6 Multi-Chamber Adapter permits the 3036 to be used in a wide variety of applications. Six different 10X5-series ion chambers can be used with the adapter. Set the selector switch to the chamber being used and the 3036 provides direct readout. For the 10X5-60 and 10X5-180 ion chambers only, the R is read as mR. Measurement accuracy with the Adapter is ± 10%. The 30A6 Adapter is not designed to provide accurate exposure time readings in Pulse mode with the 10X5 series chambers.
