Q: I have an IVD^TM but it looks different from this model. Has the design changed?
A:Yes. The Model 1135 IVDâ„¢ was manufactured by Sun Nuclear from 2002 through September of 2005. The new Model 1137 IVD 2 offers several significant changes that include:

• Simplified design, no batteries
• Control Module is now standard
• Four standard channels instead of three
• Compact and Robust LEMO connectors
• Simplified temperature correction routine now uses look-up table

Q: I have BNC connectors, will they work with the new IVD 2?
A: Yes. Using adapters, you can convert your BNC connector to a LEMO connector. We will also retrofit any BNC connector to LEMO if desired by the customer.

Q: How do the batteries work (Can they be damaged)?
A: The Model 1137 IVD 2 does not use batteries.

Q: I may need to use my IVD 2 for TBI. Is this possible?
A: The IVD 2 may be used for TBI using the Windows PC Software which is included with every unit. Additional channels may be added to the system, for a total of 52 channels.
