Model 53
The Model 53 Gamma Personnel Portal detects gamma radiation in or on personnel passing through the portal from either direction. This highly sensitive portal uses eight large plastic scintillation detectors. Shielding is accomplished with either the standard 2.5 cm (1 in.) or optional 5.1 cm (2 in.) thickness of lead. A user-friendly interface guides personnel through the portal monitor via automated voice prompts, and is accompanied with 22.9 cm (9 in.) color LCD articulating screens presenting the instrument readiness and status at the ingress and egress. Alarms are manifested both audibly and visually, and can be silenced and acknowledged via control buttons located on either side of the instrument.
Three statistical counting modes are available to maximize throughput, maximize sensitivity, or fix the count time. Several modifiable parameters adjust the alarm set point, including the false alarm probability, detection probability, background sigma coefficient (KB), and the composite sigma coefficient (KS+B). Fast alarm and clean options provide the ability to quickly determine if personnel are contaminated or clean before the entire count cycle has ended.
There are also four user modes to choose from that include a walk-through mode, a pause mode, a pause-and-turn mode, and a front-and-back mode. Voice prompts may be customized in any language for each of these modes. These prompts can, for example, dictate in-house procedures to follow. Instrument technicians have password-protected access to set up the instrument, and to the advanced automated routines for calibrating and verifying operation.
Easily accessible USB ports facilitate connecting a keyboard to implement changes, input user ID, or upload revised software. The system also includes an Ethernet link. Ludlum's optional Universal Network Software can be used to log instrument status, user activity, and other information from one or more instruments connected to the network. This software broadcasts emails whenever radiological alarms or instrument failures occur, and has the ability to capture images from network cameras that can be stored along with the user ID (if implemented). See the "Options" tab for more information and other available options.

Headphone Jack
This modification for survey meters adds a headphone jack to the instrument body so headphones can be used to monitor click-per-event audio and audio alarms. Headphones are helpful when the instrument is being used in areas with high ambient noise levels or in areas where the audio would be distracting to others, such as in a medical or office environment.
Shoulder Strap
This 1.8 m (6 ft) adjustable shoulder strap is a great way to keep your hands free while operating survey meters. The nylon strap with a wide rubber comfort pad can also be helpful for conveying some of the heavier instrument/detector combinations in the field.

Cables
Ludlum offers straight cables with either type C, BNC, SHV, MHV, or UHF connectors. Unless specified otherwise, Ludlum survey meters and detectors are shipped with “C” type connectors. When a meter and accompanying probe are ordered as a matched set, Ludlum automatically includes a 99 cm (39 in.) straight-type cable with “C” connectors at no additional charge. (Note: We no longer offer coiled cables.)
