Beacon Alert Colors
The light atop the sensor pole can indicate modes independently of other visual alerts and sounds. Make note of
the beacon’s color and/or blinking to understand the corresponding modes.
Solid green indicates that the unit is ready for detection. Always wait for solid green before
letting anyone pass by the unit.
Blinking red (adjustable duration using ALERT button) indicates positive detection of ferrous
material. Red LED alert zone clusters in sensor pole stay solid to indicate area of ferrous
detection.
Solid yellow indicates calibration in progress. Allow the unit to fully calibrate (about 30
seconds) without any nearby (about 5 feet away) ferrous movement. Once the beacon turns
green, allow foot traffic to resume for detection.
Blinking blue (same duration as positive detection) indicates that subject needs to be screened
again. This indicates detection of high background noise during the first pass. Once beacon
light goes back solid green, subject must pass by unit again to properly check for ferrous
material.
