rad-D - SNM Detection for Container, Vehicle, Personnel, and packages

The rad-D is a fixed-position radiation detector that is used to monitor doorways, driveways, or loading docks. It can inspect pack-ages or luggage on conveyor belts; and it can be integrated with an X-ray machine or a metal detector to increase the kinds of dangers detected. The rad-D can also be easily connected to an existing security system – to add radiation to the other types of alarms. The rad-D is small. It can be attached to walls, light poles, convey-or belts, or X-ray machines. And because it is small, it doesn’t affect the how of vehicles or pedestrians under inspection. Other, similar devices need large, fixed areas and concrete footings to mount their systems and require traffic (vehicles or people) to be forced through a fixed inspection corridor.  

FEATURES 24/7 Operation No Maintenance needed Easy to use - no special training required High Sensitivity Calibrates out background radiation to minimize spurious alarms Fast! Under 1 second to allow complete inspection of all packages on a conveyor/belt system Transportable with the LAURUS Systems universal bracket system

A rad-D system can include up to four detectors – operating simultaneously, each up to 150’ away from the display electronics. The rad-D is designed to integrate into existing security networks, using either a serial communications link or a Bluetooth wireless link that can communicate with a PC up to 300 feet away. With four detectors, an operator can monitor four different doorways (or driveways, or conveyor belts, etc.) anywhere in your facility. When the rad-D alarms, it can trigger active responses such as blockades or halting conveyor belts.    There are two different types of rad-D detectors available: Gamma, or Neutron. The standard radiation detector searches for gamma and X-ray radiation and can be configured as either omni-directional or uni-directional to ensure that the unit is triggered only by what is directly in front of it, not by what is in the next traffic lane or on a parallel conveyor belt. The other type, a neutron detector, is an important tool to detect the transport of illicit nuclear weapons. Many users configure a standard radiation detector and a neutron detector to cover the full spectrum of radiation. Like the mini rad-D, the rad-D is designed to be extremely easy to use and understand. It provides the operator with an easy-to-interpret single digit read out of a “1” to a “9” to show the strength of the detected radiation. The rad-D also shows the actual count of photons or neutrons. It automatically calibrates itself to the natural background radiation environment to maximize its detection sensitivity.          Click here for the rad-D brochure and spec sheet          Click here for the rad-D PRM brochure and spec sheet
