The following notes refer to an airport departure
terminal equipped with an X-ray unit for
personal effects and a metal detector to
intercept any weapons carried by passengers.
Siting of the devices
Care must be taken in the siting of the
devices to avoid electromagnetic interference.
The
RX
antenna
of the
MD
metal detector
should ideally be located as far as possible from
the monitor (
MO)
and conveyor belt of the X-ray
inspection device (
XR
).
Site the transmitter antenna (
TX
), recognisable
by its power-supply connector, next to this
device.
AP
Auxiliary passage
Wherever possible provide a passage dedicated
to service personnel transit (
AP
), which will
allow the passage of material and equipment for
the cleaning and maintenance of the area.
It will not therefore be necessary for the staff to
pass through the Metal Detector, and the
possibility of accidental blows and damage to
the detector will be avoided

Movement of luggage
In order to avoid false alarms from the metal
detector due to movement of luggage near the
archway, it is advisable to locate it at equal
distance from the beginning and end of the
conveyor belt, where the luggage is taken back
by passengers. It is also advisable to stop
passengers crowding into the entrance by
placing channelling barriers near the access
control system (
WL
: waiting line).
