STRIDE™ Series 300

The STRIDE™ Series 300 stanchion detection units have been designed primarily for pedestrian security installations.  The stanchion detection unit looks and works exactly the same as a standard crowd control stanchion.  It has an extendable belt on top, the post and a weighted base.  These units are available in wired or wireless versions.  If wired, the stanchion will have an attached RJ-45 Ethernet cable for connection to a PoE LAN receptacle.  Wireless systems will be completely covert to passengers or pedestrians.  The stanchion base, weighted with lead for stability, will be replaced with a battery weighted base (batteries provided) with only a connector for an external battery charger to indicate any difference from a standard security stanchion. A transceiver is required for communication via the LAN to the server computer where the Stride software is installed.  STRIDE View has the ability to transmit messages and/or screens to another computer or to a PDA worn by the local security officer.  The standard 2” diameter by 3” long NaI scintillation detector provides an excellent sensitivity even to small, low activity radiation sources.  A typical time-to-isotope-identification can be from a few seconds to 20 or 30 seconds, depending on the isotope, the number of isotopes, the source activity, background and the presence or absence of shielding material.

A STRIDE stanchionSPEC consists of a stanchion detection unit with STRIDE Basic Communications software plus STRIDE Id, (nuclid identification) and STRIDE View (graphic user interface) software programs.
