The rad-D is a fixed-position radiation detector used to monitor doorways, driveways, or loading docks. The device can inspect packages or luggage on conveyor belts, be integrated with an X-ray machine or a metal detector to increase the kinds of dangers detected and can also be easily connected to an existing security system – to add radiation to the other types of alarms.
The rad-D is small enough to attach to walls, light poles, conveyor belts, or X-ray machines. And because of the small size, there’s no disruption to the flow of vehicles or pedestrians under inspection. Other, similar devices need large, fixed areas and concrete footings to mount their systems and force traffic (vehicles or people) through a fixed inspection corridor.
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, blockades can be triggered or conveyor belts can be halted.
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, instead of 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, providing 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, automatically calibrating to the natural background radiation environment to maximize detection sensitivity.
