Model 4525 Generation IV Series
Installation Manual
Section 1
Section
1
Overview
The Ludlum Model 4525 Radiation Portal Monitor or “gate monitor” is designed
to detect very low levels of radiation, typically in vehicle loads as they are
driven between the detectors. Usually the radiation detectors are placed right
before a weigh scale. This manual is intended to assist you in the
installation of the system.
Several different models and options are available of the Model 4525. The
Generation IV Series can be optimally arranged to monitor moving vehicles
entering into the system. Each detector system can be configured with two to
six large detectors.
In general, the full model number tells the number of detectors the Model
45255000 is a two-detector system, the Model 4525-7500 is a three-detector
system, the 4525-10000 system has four detectors, the Model 4525-12500 has
five detectors, and the Model 4525-15000 has six detectors. The model number
suffix reflects the total cubic inches of scintillation material used by the
combined system. Generation IV systems are upgradeable to more complex
configurations.
The detectors are normally mounted to the side of the vehicle, and also
sometimes above the vehicle. The detectors are centered around the typical
load; your situation or location might require the detectors to be higher or
lower than the dimensions shown in the back of this manual.
Each system comes with a wall-mount computer display, printer, and universal
power supply (UPS). This computer logs data and displays the current status of
the system. It is typically placed inside the scale house, or in close
proximity to the scale operator. A remote display, with status lights and a
reset button, is also provided. The remote can show the status and allow
someone to reset alarms whenever the main computer is inaccessible. It is
typically placed in the scale house, or sometimes under a weather-protected
porch.
Each system uses infrared sensors to detect the vehicle’s presence, and thus
switch from measuring the background radiation to checking for an alarm.
Multiple sets of sensors are used to measure the speed of the vehicle and to
ensure that the vehicle presence is sensed throughout the passage of the
vehicle. The range of vehicle sizes, from flatbed trailers to tall drop-off
boxes, necessitates some care in positioning the sensors. The drawings in the
back of the manual suggest some mounting heights that have worked at many
locations.

UNPACKING
- Remove the cardboard and shrink wrap from the stand.
- Remove the peripherals from the crate. Store the peripherals in a safe location.
- On Models 4525-7500, 4525-12500, and 4525-15000, remove the Ibeam extensions and keep them accessible for preassembly.
Stand Location Buffer Zone
For best operation, locate the stands in an area where a 3 m (10 ft) buffer
zone can be maintained around the detectors. Typically the stands are mounted
about 3 m (10 ft) before the weigh scale. It is important that vehicles stay
out of this buffer zone except when they are moving slowly between the
detectors. Placing a stop sign at the entrance to this buffer zone is
recommended, as well as painting a line on the pavement. See Drawing 511 x
928P. Failure to correctly locate the system or failure to enforce the buffer
zone will result in more frequent false alarms. These false alarms are caused
by the system having an incorrect measurement of the true background radiation
level.
Lightning Protection
Ludlum Measurements offers an optional lightning protection setup to reduce
damage from a lightning strike. See drawing 511 x 1067 in the back of the
manual for an example. Contact an LMI representative for more information.

Notice:
In high background areas, it may be necessary to install additional steel or
lead behind the detector enclosure to reduce background.
Setting up the Stands
ANCHOR BOLT PATTERN Due to the close tolerances of the anchor bolt holes, the
anchor bolts must be placed according to the dimensions specified on the
Anchor Bolt Template drawing: 511 x 997.
LIFTING
There are 1 x 4 inch rectangular cutouts in the frame pieces that can be used
for lifting. Insert a properly rated nylon lifting strap through the cutout.
These can be used instead of lifting eyes or clevises.
The weight of the frame pieces vary depending on number and configuration of
detectors. See pages 2-2 through 2-7 for approximate weights of your specific
system.

Note:
LMI recommends the use of a template to be sure the anchor bolt holes are
placed in the correct locations. These can be supplied by LMI. The part
numbers are: Models 4525-5000 template part number 7511-997 (2 each needed)
The notch on the templates should be placed toward the center of the lane. The
anchor bolt holes are a tight tolerance fit for the ¾-inch anchor bolt;
therefore, care must be taken when the anchor bolts are placed in the
concrete. Double-nut the anchor bolt to the template before the concrete cures
to ensure proper anchorbolt alignment.
LEVELING
- Once the concrete is dry and all the bolts are straight, the mounting points will need to be leveled. Shims may be used, but the following instructions assume the use of leveling nuts.
- Run a set of leveling nuts on the bolts as low as allowable (one nut per bolt).
- Place the flat template for the concrete holes on the leveling nuts.
- Start leveling from the highest nut, using a 0.61 m (2 ft) (or larger)
level in the pattern described below. The stands should be level and plumb
within 0.17 cm (1/16 of an inch) over a 0.61 m (2 ft) distance.

LIFTING
Systems purchased without stands:
Each detector weighs approximately 340 kg (750 lb).
For side detectors, position lifting straps around and under the detector and
carefully raise them into position. Use straps that are capable of holding the
weight and that will not scratch or otherwise damage the detectors when being
lifted into position. As an alternate method, the detector can be mounted to
the back plate, and then the detector and back plate can be lifted together
and set into place with a crane or other suitable device, using straps that
are properly rated. The weight of one detector and back plate is approximately
680 kg (1500 lb).
For overhead detectors, the detector can be carefully positioned on its door,
and then carefully lifted into place with a forklift or other lifting device.
As an alternate method, the detector can be mounted to the back plate, and

Supervisor Computer
The supervisor computer provides a common link from the monitor(s) to a common
screen. This allows the printing of alarms, adjusting of set points, and the
monitor of multiple systems at one time. The Supervisor Computer also records
data seen from all the systems for further analysis.
Miscellaneous Requirements
AC-MAINS POWER REQUIREMENTS Each system requires a 2-amp power source of
120240 Vac.
LMI recommends dedicated 10-20 amp breakers for each lane and clearly labeling
each breaker.
AC power should be delivered to the Master Detector and to the computer in
accordance with code requirements, which supersede these instructions. Such
requirements, for example, may require a disconnect device in clear sight of
the hard-wired control box.
Power entering the Master Detector must be grounded to a ground lug bushing
before connecting the ground to the equipment.
CONDUIT REQUIREMENTS All flexible conduit must be liquid-tight, metallic. All
connections to the system must be metallic fittings. All wiring must be inside

Network Installation
The software uses both UDP (User Datagram Protocol) and TCP (Transmission
Control Protocol) to communicate with the Model 4525. For communication
between the Supervisor software and the Model 4525, port 23 (TCP) and port
20034 (UDP) are used.
TOOLS REQUIRED
Wire Strippers
Network Cable Tester Network Cable Crimper
RJ-45 connectors appropriate for cable conductor type Category 5E Network
Cable, Stranded or Solid conductor. Stranded cable is generally used where the
network cable can be moved, such as patch cables. Solid cable is used where
the cable will be fixed, such as internal wiring in walls.
NETWORK EQUIPMENT
A 100 mega-bit switch with enough ports is needed to connect all Model 4525s,
workstations, and cameras (optional). Each computer workstation must have a
100 MB Ethernet network interface card (NIC) installed.
IP ADDRESSES
Each device on a network has a unique address. This number is called the
Internet Protocol (IP) Address. This number can either be dynamically or
statically assigned. A static IP address is assigned to the device and will
not change. A dynamic IP address is assigned by a Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP) server and will not always have the same IP address. The
format is a 32 bit numeric address written as four numbers separated by
periods (dot). Each of the four numbers range from 0 to 255.
Note:
The Model 4525s DO NOT support Dynamic IP Addresses and must be configured for
a static IP Address.
The Model 4525s, workstations, and cameras (optional) normally exist on a
separate network from any other computers/devices. The network is set up using
a Class C address range, which limits the total number of addresses

CABLE TERMINATION Technical Specification for TIA/EIA 568A & 568B Standard for
CAT-5E Cable
T568A and T568B are the two color codes used in wiring RJ45 eight-position
modular plugs. The American National Standard Institute/Telephone Industry
Association/Electronics Industry Association (ANSI/TIA/EIA) wiring standards
allow both of these color codes. The only difference is that the orange and
green pairs are interchanged.
Because it provides backward compatibility for both one pair and two pair of
Universal Service Order codes (AT&T) and USOC wiring schemes, the T568A wiring
pattern is recognized as the preferred wiring pattern for this standard. This
standard should be used in all new installations; however, it makes absolutely
no functional difference which you choose.
The T568B standard is the most widely used wiring scheme, as it matches the
older AT&T 258A color code. It is also permitted by the ANSI/TIA/EIA standard,
but it provides only a single pair backward compatibility to the USOC wiring
scheme.
U.S. Government regulations require the use of the preferred T568A standard
for wiring done under federal contracts.

RJ-45 CROSSOVER ETHERNET CABLE
A crossover cable is required to connect two devices directly without using a
hub or switch or when connecting two hubs together. A crossover cable is made
by wiring one end to the T-568A standard and the other end to the T-568B
standard.
Ethernet Cable Instructions
Note:
Do not deform, bend, stretch, staple, run parallel with power cables, or run
Ethernet cables near noise, inducing components!
The total length of wire segments between a device and a hub/switch or between
two devices cannot exceed 100 meters (328 ft) for 100Base-TX and 300 m (984
ft) for 10Base-T.

1. Strip off approximately 2.5 cm (1 in.) of the cable jacket. Be careful not
to nick any of the wires or you will need to start over.
2. Untwist the four pairs and straighten them out.
3. Arrange them in a fan shape following the color order above with the
White/Green wire on the left and the Brown wire on the right.
4. Bring the wires together until they touch. Double-check the order.
5. Cut the wires to make a 90 angle approximately 1.3 cm (0.5 in.) from the
end of the jacket. The wires must be cut straight so that they fit all the way
into the connector to make good contact with the pins.
6. Align Pin 1 of the cable with Pin 1 of the connector and insert the cable
into the connector. Push firmly so the wires go all the way to the top of the
connector, and the jacket goes into the connector by about 0.48 cm (0.19 in.).
Again, check to make sure the colors are in the right order. No more than 1.3
cm (0.5 in.) of the Ethernet cable should be untwisted; otherwise, it will be
susceptible to crosstalk.
7. Place the connector into the crimp tool and squeeze the handle hard.
8. Inspect the connector to make sure all pins were crimped.
9. Repeat steps 1-8 for the other end.
10. Use a cable tester to test the cable for shorts and crossed wires.
Note:
A straight-through cable is used to connect the Model 4525 to a computer when
a hub or switch is used. A crossover cable is used to connect the Model 4525
directly to a computer WITHOUT a hub or switch.
