Mobile Guardian Neutron / Gamma M8 Radiation Detection System 0001 00

General Information

The Mobile Guardian Neutron / Gamma M8 Transportable Radiation Detection System described in this manual is a

self-contained system designed to be easily transported and quickly deployed with the involvement of minimal

personnel. It is capable of detecting both neutron and gamma radiation emissions. The system is designed to be used as

a very sensitive first line of defense for the detection and identification of radioisotopes. It is suited for applications in

counterterrorism, providing easy transport and rapid deployment to an area where a threat is possible. It is also suited

for temporary checkpoints at locations where it is not possible or not desirable to permanently install stationary

systems. The system may be deployed in a vehicle in order to provide mobile detection capability.

The Mobile Guardian Neutron / Gamma M8 Transportable Radiation Detection System utilizes glass fiber neutron

detectors. The detector assembly is mounted in a ruggedized transportable hard sided case. Gamma detection and

spectroscopy is performed with thallium-compensated sodium iodide (NaI(Tl)) detectors mounted in a separate

identical case. A smaller controller case contains the Smart Sensor Aggregator (SSA), a rechargeable battery which

provides system power, a battery charger / auxiliary power supply, an 802.11 Wi-Fi antenna, a GPS antenna, and a G-

M tube for high range gamma detection. A ruggedized laptop computer running proprietary software applications

serves as the primary user command and control interface for the system.

10

SMART SENSOR AGGREGATOR / HUB / GPS

The Smart Sensor Aggregator (SSA) / RS-485 hub / GPS assembly is mounted in the controller case. It communicates

with all smart sensors (SS) in the system by use of timed synchronized data packets. In addition to providing power and

sync signals, the assembly collects and analyzes the data sent from each SS to determine when a radiation source has

been detected. The assembly outputs visual information to the associated user interface computer. An 802.11 wireless

communications antenna may be connected, as well as an antenna for the GPS receiver. The SSA power switch is used

to energize all components of the system. The SSA also includes an interface port for connecting the standard battery

charger / auxiliary power supply.

The SSA / RS-485 hub / GPS assembly is shown in the illustrations below.

11

NEUTRON SMART SENSOR (NSS)

The NSS is connected to the neutron detector assembly. The assembly is mounted in the neutron detector case and

connected to the SSA / RS-485 hub / GPS in the controller case via the data / sync / power cable.

CAUTION

The neutron detector and smart sensor are sealed, and should not be opened.

A neutron detector subassembly is shown in the illustration below.

Figure 10. Neutron Detector Subassembly

NaI(Tl) GAMMA DETECTOR AND GAMMA SPECTROSCOPY SMART SENSOR (GSSS)

A thallium-compensated sodium iodide (NaI(Tl)) gamma spectroscopy detector and associated GSSS are used for

spectroscopic radionuclide identification. The assembly is mounted in a cutout in the internal foam padding of the

gamma detector case.

CAUTION

The NaI(Tl) detector and smart sensor are sealed, and should not be opened.

The GSSS connects to the SSA / RS-485 hub / GPS in the controller case, with the connecting cable carrying power,

sync, and communications. The NaI(Tl) detector and GSSS are shown in the illustration below.

Figure 11. NaI(Tl) Gamma Spectroscopy Detector and GSSS


12

GEIGER-MÜLLER GAMMA DETECTOR AND GEIGER-MÜLLER SMART SENSOR (GMSS)

A Geiger-Müller (G-M) gamma ray detector and associated GMSS are used for enhanced gamma sensitivity at higher

count rates. It is typically mounted in the controller case.

CAUTION

The G-M detector and smart sensor are sealed, and should not be opened.

The G-M detector is a gas- filled electrically-conductive metallic tube which contains a wire running the length of the

tube. Voltage is applied between the body of the tube and the wire, and when gamma radiation passes through the tube

and contacts the gas molecules an electrical pulse is generated by the resulting ionization. The pulses generated are

counted by the electronics and used to determine the quantity of radiation impacting the detector. The GMSS connects

with the RS-485 hub through a single cable, with the connecting cable carrying power, sync, and communications. The

G-M detector and GMSS are shown in the illustration below.

NOTE

The G-M detector is energy calibrated for 60

Co.

14

BATTERY PACK

The system is powered by a Lithium Ion (Li Ion) rechargeable battery pack mounted in the controller case and

connected to the SSA / RS-485 hub / GPS. The battery pack is shown in the illustration below.

Figure 15. Battery Pack

The battery pack provides approximately 9 to 20 hours of life during normal system operating conditions, The batteries

typically used with the system are rated for operation at temperature ranges from -32° C (-25° F) to +55° C (131° F).

At temperatures below 0° C (32° F), battery life could be shortened. At temperatures approaching 65° C (149° F), an

internal fuse in the battery pack may shut down power to the system. Refer to page 28 for battery storage guidelines.

Operation outside the specified temperature range may degrade battery life.

NOTE

It is advisable to warm the battery prior to operation at temperatures lower than -32° C (-25° F).

NOTE

The system power should not be left on when the battery is in a discharged state. If a battery’s

charge is depleted and the unit is placed into storage in this condition, the battery may

subsequently become deeply discharged, resulting in the battery’s electronics shutting down and

preventing a recharge. To prevent this, it is recommended that batteries be stored in a charged state

and be recharged every four to six months in order to keep the battery and its protection circuit

operational and prevent a possible over-discharge condition from which the battery may not

recover.

Charging the Battery

CAUTION

Power down the system and follow all appropriate ESD precautions when disconnecting and

reconnecting cables.

The battery must be recharged at regular intervals to ensure proper operation. Follow the steps below to charge the

battery pack. The battery is specified to accept charging at a temperature range of 0° C (32° F) to 45° C (113° F). If the

battery is charged outside of this temperature range, it might not fully charge. The battery should not be permitted to

become fully discharged.

Follow the steps below to charge the system battery.

1. Retrieve the ac adapter and associated cable. The battery may be charged using the ac adapter connected to

a 90 Vac – 264 Vac at 47 Hz – 63 Hz, single phase source. Alternately, ff using the auxiliary dc power

cable, connect the cable directly to the charging port and then connect the cable to an appropriate dc power

source, such as a vehicle’s power point. Note that the system may be operated during the charging process.

SS PORT 2

SS PORT 3

SS PORT 4


20

To use the wired connection, the user control laptop PC should be connected to the system’s Ethernet port (refer to

Figure 20). Alternately, the PC may be connected to the system via the 802.11 Wi-Fi antenna.

If ac power is to be used rather than operating on battery power, the ac adapter cable should be connected to the

charging port (refer to Figure 20), with the adapter’s ac cable plugged into an appropriate ac power source outlet.

SYSTEM ORIENTATION AND POSITIONING

The system’s versatile design allows for positioning the detectors to best meet the user’s mission requirements. For

maximum detection efficiency, the detectors should be oriented so that they face the primary search vector.

The G-M tube mounted in the controller case functions as a high count rate detector, in concert with the lower count

rate gamma detector, so the controller case should be positioned near the case containing the NaI(Tl) gamma detector

for the most efficient count rate range transitions.

Battery Storage and Transport Information

Proper battery storage conditions are necessary in order to maintain battery capacity. The guidelines below should be

followed when storing batteries not currently in use.

NOTE

Lithium Ion batteries from different manufacturers may have slight variations in the specific storage

methods recommended, however the general guidelines below are considered valid for all Li Ion

batteries used with the system.

In general, Lithium Ion batteries should be stored in a cool place, charged to approximately 30% - 50% of their full

capacity. The temperature in the storage area should be between -25° F (-32° C) and 59° F (15° C).

CAUTION

Li Ion batteries should not be stored in a refrigerator or freezer, due to the possibility of

condensation, which could cause short circuits or corrosion.

The system power should not be left on when the battery is in a discharged state. If a battery’s

charge is depleted and the unit is placed into storage in this condition, the battery may

subsequently become deeply discharged, resulting in the battery’s electronics shutting down and

preventing a recharge. To prevent this, it is recommended that batteries be stored in a charged state

and be recharged every four to six months in order to keep the battery and its protection circuit

operational and prevent a possible over-discharge condition from which the battery may not

recover.

Batteries should not be stored fully charged, fully discharged, or at high temperatures.

Shipment of batteries and systems which contain batteries are subject to transport regulations in the US and abroad.

Lithium Ion batteries may be classified as Class 9 Dangerous Goods (Hazardous Materials) and transport may be

restricted. Special packaging, markings, and shipping papers may be required. Refer to the information available at the

Ultralife Corporation website: http://ultralifecorporation.com prior to transporting batteries or systems which contain

NOTE

Annihilation radiation (ANNRAD) is a term used in gamma spectroscopy for the gamma radiation

produced when a particle and antiparticle collide. Most commonly, this refers to 511 keV gamma

rays produced by a gamma ray undergoing Pair production. In addition, proton enriched

radionuclides that have an energy transition greater than 1022 keV favor decay by positron emission

over electron capture.

Because all gamma rays greater than 1022 keV interact within matter to generate positrons, as do

radionuclides that decay by positron emission, the presence of annihilation radiation can rarely be

used to determine a specific radionuclide except in special applications such as Positron Emission

Tomography (PET) where only a single positron emitting radionuclide is used. In the Nucsafe

library, we denote this radiation as ANNRAD rather than any specific radionuclide to indicate that a

peak was found at 511 keV, the rest mass energy of a single electron..
