Привет от такого же поклонника советских дозиметра и обладателя дп-5а из России

Dp-5As are really hard to find and really sensitive. The common version is the Dp-5v which is much more robust and normally is sold in it's own case. Dp-5Bs are also scattered about. I own all three. Aside from the components inside they're all mostly the same just that the 5V is much sturdier. Definitely pick one up with the crate and accessories (normally an extension handle, screwdriver, a few replacement light bulbs and gaskets, a pack of plastic bags to cover the probe, if you're real lucky a manual and even a maintenance log, and of course the adapter for running off a car battery), you can even find "new" manufacture that were stored away in the original cardboard wrapping. Battery sleeves are easy enough to make. Some small PVC pipe (the 1 inch stiff) and just wad up some tin foil for one end so you don't have to bend anything. Get some rechargeable batteries and you're good to go. Try to stick to AAs though. Older batteries had less voltage than modern so if you use too big a battery you'll fry the electronics, and good luck finding a repair man. The biggest difference between the 5A and 5B aside from wiring is the 5A has a small handle permanently fixed to the probe wire. It can be inserted in the probe to use as a handle or left unattached if the probe would have to reach small confines. the 5B and 5V have a long handle that is carried separate and can be attached in the same slot. Also Sieverts are the international standard in modern time because they are more accurate and easier to convert. Rontgens are obsolete

Nice demonstration. I like the design of these old Soviet units.

Fantastic video, especially for the battery solutions presented. Super neat that it comes with a radiation source! I've got a 5b in the mail right now and learning what I can before it shows up.

Perfect! Excellent video, learned a lot from you just now. Thanks!

fantastic mate, just what I've been ;looking for.Hope to pick up a later model soon!

Very good presentation. I have a slightly different version (DP-5B) :)

Has your dp-5b got different knobs?

Hello! I have just acquired one of these, and while the backlight works, it fails to detect any radiation. Any idea how to fix this?

the reset scale, a function ive only seen on ludlum geiger counters

Odd query but what contacts are needed for the headset/a microphone?

Cool! When it was new (Sr90) its shows 20mRh value. (Aprox).

Would you have a source for the battery adaptor sleeves?

Amazon currently selling LR12 packs for £1.99 in the UK. I bought a few sets to use in my DP5V.

sorry what is the exact name of the batteries you put in the meter? Thanks

What type of batteries they are? i dont find them

What did you use mate for the AA battery ?? Thanks mate

My guiger counter the needle rises on every setting whats happening

I've never found any of the old Warsaw PACT counters with the Strontium removed to ever be radioactive, Strontium 90 only emits Beta so it never seems to contaminate anything unless it falls apart, the Soviet and Polish Geiger have the Strontium on a metal plate so that's all good.

Can I just use the LR-12 battery? Or do I need to cut it open like you did in the video.

@SurvivingTheApocalypse

You will definitely need to cut it open as the batteries are not evenly spaced and also the polarity is different. Its not a hard to crack open the pack.

Battery wise I use 1 inch PVC sanded flat on two sides so they can all fit in. Then packed some tin foil in and packed it solid to make a conductive spacer for the negative side of the battery

Strontium 90 emits beta radiation which is easily blocked by the metal cover slip it has over it. Unless you do something real silly like eat it or carry it in your pocket every day it is of not much danger to you.

The battery compartment is made for obsolete batteries you likely wont ever find. AA batteries work but they are physically smaller than the intended ones, so you need to pack them in with something so they don't fall out.

I can't read the manual exactly, but from what I can understand you can connect the adaptor to any 3, 6 or 12 volt battery. You connect a jumper wire on the adaptor to select whatever voltage you are using. So any normal 12V car battery will work.
