3. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
3.1. CONTROLS AND INDICATORS  
The controls and indicators can be made to operate in several different ways. How they operate  
is controlled by the software installed.  
The front panel contains the power LED, ready LED, alarm indicator LEDs, and the  
acknowledge switch. The power LED is on whenever the system has power. The ready LED  
shows that the system is clear of alarms and working properly. The alarm indicator LEDs blink  
when enabled, and indicate the following conditions:  
Tamper:  
Amber lamp indicates either a fault in the cable between the AM-255 and the  
portal monitor, or the tamper switch(s) in the pillar are activated. The tamper  
indication is also used to indicate a low battery condition when the AM-255 is  
used with TSA’s Personnel/Vehicle Monitors.  
High Background Alarm:  
When the radiation level exceeds the high alarm level that has been programmed  
into the system, the high background alarm is indicated.  
Radiation Alarm:  
When the system detects that the radiation level has exceeded the alarm threshold  
while the portal is occupied, the red radiation alarm lamp will illuminate and the  
audible alarm will sound.  
Low Background Alarm:  
The low background alarm indicates that the background counts are below the  
low background setting in the system. This could be caused by a detector failure  
or by shielding the pillar.  
Model AM-255  
 
3. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS page 10  
Acknowledge:

4. THEORY OF OPERATION page 12  
4. THEORY OF OPERATION  
The alarm monitor model AM-255 is a battery powered, remote monitor unit used with TSA’s  
pedestrian and vehicle portal monitors. The AM-255 provides both audible and visual alarm  
indications for radiation alarms, low and high background alarms, and tamper conditions.  
Parallel relay outputs are provided to permit interfacing with existing alarm systems.  
Please reference the wiring/signal flow diagram drawings package provided with the instrument  
as they are noted in this manual. The Drawings list can be found in the APPENDIX F. Drawings  
section in this manual.  
4.1. UNIT OPERATION  
The relays in the portal monitor are continuously monitored by the AM-255. Whenever the  
relays change state, the AM-255 reads the change and turns on the correct lamp and relay, and  
sounds the audio alarm. The alarm will follow the system. The green ready LED will go out  
when the alarm condition occurs, and re-illuminate when the alarm condition clears.  
NOTE:  
Multiple alarms can occur and more than one alarm lamp be illuminated simultaneously.  
The monitor operates from the 12 volt, lead acid battery. If ac power is lost, the battery provides  
power to permit continued operation without interruption. Should the battery get too low for  
reliable operation (approximately 10.5 volts), the monitor will turn itself off. Normal operation  
will resume when the battery has been recharged to approximately 12.5 volts.

APPENDIX B. GLOSSARY page20  
B. GLOSSARY  
ADC: Analog to Digital Converter, is an integrated circuit that converts an analog signal into a  
binary number that can be used by the microprocessor.  
CPS or cps: Counts Per Second  
High Background Alarm/Fault: The condition that occurs if the counts exceed the  
programmed high background level. This condition prevents further operation until the problem  
is corrected. Normally set in cps.  
LLD: The Lower Level Discriminator provides a threshold, usually adjustable, that determines  
the lowest signal level that will be accepted as a nuclear pulse by the system’s electronics. Some  
systems have both upper and lower level discriminators that can be used to set a discriminator  
window. The discriminator window can be used to effectively reduce the background counts,  
and increase system sensitivity to certain isotopes. Also see ULD.  
Low Background Alarm/Fault: The condition that occurs if the counts fall below the  
programmed high background level. This condition prevents further operation until the problem  
is corrected. Normally set in cps.  
POST: Power On Self Test  
Model AM-255  
 
APPENDIX B. GLOSSARY page21  
Rolling Background: This is the background accumulation method used in most of TSA’s  
instruments. Background accumulation is done in ten separate buffers, each buffer represents  
1/10 of the total background time. As each buffer is filled, the background is updated. This  
results in a background update at background time/10. Initial background accumulation requires  
the full background time.  
Standard Background: Standard background requires the full background time for the initial  
background and updates.  
ULD: The Upper Level Discriminator provides a threshold, usually adjustable, that determines  
the highest signal level that will be accepted as a nuclear pulse by the system’s electronics. Also  
see LLD.

APPENDIX C. FORMULAS page22  
C. FORMULAS  
The following formulas are used in various systems manufactured by TSA Systems, Ltd. They  
are provided to assist in verifying system operation and to give our customers a better  
understanding of how the systems operate  
C.1. ACTIVITY FROM COUNTS  
Activity = Activity in nCi  
Eff = Decimal efficiency (i.e. 10% = 0.1.)  
Where:  
N = Net counts per second (cps – background cps)  
C.2. EFFICIENCY  
N = cps with source – background cps  
activity = test source activity in nCi  
Where:  
C.3. N*SIGMA ALARM LEVEL  
This formula calculates the minimum activity, in disintegrations per minute, that can be reliably  
detected under a given set of operational conditions.  
bkg = Background counts  
Where:  
Sigma = 1bkg  
N = N*Sigma value  
Model AM-255  
 
APPENDIX C. FORMULAS page23  
C.4. RELIABLE DETECTABLE ACTIVITY (RDA) FORMULA  
This formula calculates the minimum activity, in disintegrations per minute, that can be reliably  
detected under a given set of operational conditions.  
BKG = total background counts  
per count time  
CON = confidence sigma  
CT = count time in seconds  
E = system efficiency in percent  
F = false alarm level in cps  
FA = false alarm sigma  
G = intermediate variance  
RDA = reliable detectable activity  
in DPM  
C.5. SIGNAL TO BACKGROUND RATIO  
The following formula is helpful is determining the optimum discriminator settings. Always  
perform a variance test at the final setting of the lower-level discriminator to ensure that system  
noise is not being introduced into the amplifier stage.  
Q = Quality factor  
S = Net signal (count with source - background)  
Where:  
B = Background count  
B = Background count  
Higher values of Q result in better sensitivity  
Model AM-255  
 
APPENDIX C. FORMULAS page24  
C.6. VARIANCE  
The variance analyzer mode is used to check whether the counts seen by the controller are  
actually from the proper distribution. If the distribution approaches normal, the resulting number  
will approach 0. Any significant deviation from the normal distribution will result in a larger  
number.  
The two most common problems resulting in variance failure are light leaks in the detectors, and  
periodic noise in the electronics. Periodic noise will result in a number of about 1, a light leak  
will usually result in a number larger than 2. The number displayed during a variance test is the  
absolute value of the average of a number of these tests, with one test being performed every  
nn seconds. The data is valid after three iterations of nn seconds. The pass/fail criteria varies  
from unit to unit and is included in the variance section of the manual on most units.  
R = the quality factor  
C = each of the individual counts  
Where:  
N = number of counts taken  
_
R = mean variance  
I = number of iterations
