Sensitivity Settings
SentryHound-Pro contains 8 sensitivity settings. Setting 1 (bottom cluster of blue LEDs) has the lowest
sensitivity and is useful for environments containing high ferrous activity that can create false detections while
scanning foot traffic. Setting 8 (top cluster of green LEDs) is the highest sensitivity and is useful for
environments that are free of extraneous ferromagnetic activity and objects. Sensitivity levels 1-4 are blue
clusters while sensitivity levels 5-8 are green clusters.
The sensitivity settings can also correspond to the detection range. For instance, a sensitivity setting of 2 might
not detect a smartphone that is 27 inches from the nearest sensor but a sensitivity setting of 6 would stand a
better chance of detecting that same smartphone that is 27 inches from the nearest sensor. Each time you move
SentryHound-Pro into a new environment, you might have to go through each of the sensitivity settings to find
the right balance of detection compared to false detection.
Push the SENSITIVITY button to see the current setting. After 3 seconds, the sensitivity display will stop but if
you push the SENSITIVITY button before that, it will increment 1 level greater each time you push the button.
