The CD V-717 is a modification of the CD V-715 ionization chamber survey meter. Its operating characteristics and specifications are very similar to those of the CD V-715, except that the 717 has a removable hermetically sealed chamber that can be attached to 25 feet of cable. This gives the 717 the ability to make remote readings, e.g., with the chamber outside the monitoring station where it was used. The bottom half of the case contains the ion chamber and a removable spool with 25’ of cable. The 717, like the 715, was transistorized and had two controls: a zero adjust knob and a range switch. The purpose of this instrument is explained in the following quote from CPG 1-30 (FEMA 1981): "This instrument was designed for use by radiological monitors in WER stations during the early period following a nuclear attack. The purpose of the instrument is to decrease the radiation exposure to monitors by making it unnecessary for the monitor to leave his shelter in order to obtain an outside measurement."
These meters are in excellent condition. They are in their original boxes. They are new, old stock.
