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:

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

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

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

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
