The CD V-711 was a remote sensing meter designed to measure the exposure rates from nuclear blasts. It was intended as a semi-permanent installation in the local emergency operations centers (EOC) where the carrying handle could be used to hang the meter from a wall-mounted bracket. Note that the bottom of the case in the above photo is backwards because the meter would be hanging upside down ;. The CD V-711 had three controls: a range switch, a zero adjust, and a button to turn on the meter light. The ion chamber, positioned at some remote location outside the shelter, was typically connected to the meter via a 300′ cable. I was told that it could operate with up to 2000 feet of cable, if necessary. The example pictured in the top photo is a CD V-711 Model 2 Serial No. 63 manufactured by Nuclear-Chicago. The remote ion chamber employs a blast resistant cap capable of withstanding a 100 psi overpressure. Detector: remote pressurized ion chamber. Range: 0 – 1, 0 – 10, 0 – 100, 0 – 1,000 R/h. Size: 6.25 x 10.25 x 4. Batteries: nine 1.5 volt batteries for the Model 2. The Model 1 employed a 12 volt car battery charged via 110 volt line current. (Note: this is a model 2).
