The Guardian PM500 Series of radiation portal monitors effectively screen pedestrian traffic at high-foot-traffic, strategic locations such as airports, train stations, seaports, border crossings, nuclear facilities, and other critical infrastructure.
Designed for indoor or outdoor use, the two-pillar, two-panel Guardian PM500 Series is IP65 rated, protecting the system from the ingress of dust and water. Its modular design simplifies and expedites routine maintenance, minimizing downtime and maximizing the number of people moving through the system.
Customization of the detectors’ sensitivity levels allows the operator to adjust these settings to accommodate the needs of the site. This allows the system to effectively detect illicit radionuclides, supporting a near-zero false alarm rate and the steady flow of pedestrian traffic.
