Introduction

 

The Ludlum Model 720 Spectroscopic Area Radiation Monitor is a high powered system that not only logs routine ambient radiation levels and annunciates any alarms, but additionally identifies the isotope(s) that are present whenever an alarm is manifested.  This intelligent system is designed to be connected to an Ethernet network that can accommodate up to 50 Ludlum radiation area monitors.  Upon an alarm, the Model 720 will automatically capture a spectrum and analyze it against a library of up to 100 isotopes and then convey the results over the network where it can be viewed by Ludlum’s Webpage and Service Software using any standard browser program.   All data are logged to a MS SQL database and if desired to a csv type file.  Up to 10 browsers (more with purchase of other versions of MS SQL) can then access all the data including a system overview, incident reports and timeline graphs.  Each incident will also collect and store the spectrum along with the analysis identifying the isotopes that were present.  If optional network cameras are connected to the system, an image of the offending item is additionally captured and sent to the database where it is stored along with the other incident data.
 

Another key feature of this system is its ability to automatically send out Emails to responsible parties by event type so immediate action can be taken.  Up to 10 emails can be broadcast in an intelligent fashion so that only the supervisors or other responsible persons available on that shift are notified.  The system additionally supports separation between those responsible for direct response to a radiation alarm and others who maintain the equipment if an equipment failure alarm is posted.

 

Providing real-time alarm annunciation at numerous monitoring stations as well as directly to responders with all the facts pertaining to the location, gross gamma levels, isotopic mix, and visual images will enable a more accurate and timely response to any incident that occurs.  Ludlum’s Model 720 Spectroscopic Area Radiation Monitor in combination with its Webpage and Service Network Software package offers an affordable solution that combines all the latest technologies into one seamless package that enables response in a more efficient and effective manner.
