DP-66 Geiger counter
Ойын-сауық
Polish DP-66M Geiger counter.
Used for measuring Beta and Gamma radiation. This model of Geiger counter was used in Poland when it was a member of the Warsaw Pact, it is very similar to the equivalent Soviet models. It runs on D batteries.

Cool piece of kit
Love it. Great stuff
I might have to use one of these for the meantime. Mine's in the shop
Thank you for sharing ,this helped me to get started with mine.....mine has a slight fault Though,its analog meter can not be adjusted to zero,it stops at 5 on the bottom scale...something mechanical with it...othervise it works...It feel the background radiation! Cheers/Stephan Höglund

jamiemcf1 If I was somewhere radioactive I'd want a detector that could pick up alpha radiation as well.

Weaponsandstuff93 Radiation's measured in different units too now, isn't it? I remember watching a documentary about Chernobyl and even two days after the explosion, people were still going about the town doing their business as normal while soldiers with suits and geiger counters were walking around town picking up nearly 700 rontgeons more than usual background radiation.

jamiemcf1 Yeah modern detectors use uSV, which is different from Roentgens but the CPM on Geigers no matter the type is very similar.

Weaponsandstuff93 You dont need alfa detector. It's okay to have just simple mask on your face. Alpha is dangerous only when you get source of it inside your body.
Hi Great informative video thanks... I also have the the same DP66 M but think I have problems, when I turn the dial to RH 0.5 after two seconds the needle swings hard right and emits a low hissing sound from the speaker.. is this Normal? all else seems to function Ok (eg detects thorium etc.)

My only guess is there is some sort of radioactive material stuck in the probe, so as soon as it's turned on it begins detecting it.

@@Weaponsandstuff93 Thanks for that..i don't think that's the problem as it doesn't make any clicks, just a hissing sound.. and it functions normally on the lower mR/H Scale. ?
Cool vid. I have one too but the needle doesn’t spring into the k area when I actually turn it on. Any idea why?

You said microroentgen instead of miliroentgen. Was that intentional of you?

I have seen many of these AND the DP-75 with completely burned out display coils. I have no idea why this is, but its weird.

Strange no idea really I guess maybe being left on for ages or something? Soviet DP-5 series is certainly tougher although I personally really like my DP-75 for it's range.

Yours could be a DP-66 instead of the modernized DP-66M. The DP-66 has a silver colored beta shield with slots on it.
Great vid L, very interesting, do they work on smoke alarms? if you do let me know what happens. Mike.

***** they dont work on smoke alarms. Smoke alarms contains Americium or Plutonium but that isotope emiting only alfa radiation. You need special dosimeter to check alfa radiation lvl, because normal paper sheet will stop alfa radiation.

Damian_ai9 he needs more info
The knob on the left of the device is a calibration. Turn the meter to K and turn it until the pointer lines up with the triangle in the middle of the red band , then you're ready to measure . The lower scale is for the 0-200r/h setting only and reads r/Hr as it is the measure for the ionization tube that is next to the Geiger tube

That is false, it has nothing to do with calibration. It is used for charging the DKP-50 dosimeters. I have read the original polish manual.
