The CD V-710 is a portable monitoring instrument which measures gamma radiation dose rates as high
as 50 roentgens per hour. It is designed to be used by radiological Civil Defense personnel in determining
radioactive contamination levels that may result from an enemy attack or other nuclear disasters.
Instrument accuracy on any of its three ranges is within ± 20% of the true dose rate from Cobalt 60 gamma
radiation. This accuracy is maintained throughout a temperature range of -20° F to +125° F, relative
humidities to 100% and at altitudes from sea level to 25,000 feet.
The detecting element is an hermetically sealed ionization chamber. This chamber is located in the lower
front portion of the instrument to make the instrument equally sensitive to radiation from the bottom and
front. The plastic lined steel chamber has a wall thick enough to make the instrument insensitive to
fission product beta rays. The ionization chamber is hermetically sealed to eliminate changes in
sensitivity due to changes in air pressure resulting from altitude changes, temperature changes, and
moisture effects. The ion chamber is replaceable without disturbing the calibration of the instrument.
Battery life is 200 + hours of continuous use.
