The Model 4525 Series of Radiation Portal Monitors (RPMs) represents state-of-the-art technology for detecting low levels of radiation, such as orphan radiation sources and NORM (naturally occurring radioactive materials), at facilities including scrap yards, recycling companies, landfills, and foundries. These systems are composed of ruggedized, large plastic scintillation detectors optimally arranged to monitor items passing through. Each system can be configured with two to six large detectors, with individual detector volumes of 9.8 L (600 in³), 41 L (2500 in³), or 57 L (3500 in³).

Real-time data acquisition and analysis is performed directly at each detector system and then reported to a central PC for logging, reporting, and alarm notification. Up to four detector systems (lanes) can be networked together via Ethernet or wirelessly to a central PC so that vehicles entering from either direction can be monitored in real time. An optional remote control/annunciator panel is available to support operator awareness, alarm acknowledgement, and if necessary, backup operation in the event the central PC is unavailable.

Data from all the system sensors are acquired and checked by powerful, field-tested, and time-proven algorithms designed to check each load vigorously in a multi-dimensional and multi-layered manner before declaring any load as clean. Any abnormality is immediately indicated via both local and remote alarms. An optional camera system can capture an image of the offending vehicle and store the image with the logged data for permanent record keeping. Alarms can also be configured to automatically notify shift supervisors directly by e-mail if desired.

The system is designed for ease of use and can be customized to accommodate a wide variety of site and application specific criteria. Intuitive menus and controls combined with pre-defined automatic event handlers ensure each situation is handled properly and consistently.
