Model 4525 Generation IV Series

Installation Manual

Section 1

Section

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

1. Remove the cardboard and shrink wrap from the stand.
2. Remove the peripherals from the crate. Store the peripherals in a safe location.
3. 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

1. 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.
2. Run a set of leveling nuts on the bolts as low as allowable (one nut per bolt).
3. Place the flat template for the concrete holes on the leveling nuts.
4. 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 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).
Systems purchased with stands:
Model 4525-5000 and 4525-7500 side stands
The weight of one side of the stand assembly with one detector and one back plate attached is approximately 907 kg (2000 lb). Attach properly rated lifting lugs to the top of the stand I-beam legs and carefully lift each side into position. Ensure that each leg is level and plumb and square with the other side before securing it to the concrete pad.
Model 4525-10000, 12500, and 15000 side stands
The weight of one side of the stand assembly with two detectors and two back plates attached is approximately 1588 kg (3500 lb). Attach properly rated lifting lugs to the top of the stand I-beam legs and carefully lift each side into position. Ensure that each leg is level and plumb and square with the other side before securing it to the concrete pad.

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.

Section 3

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.
