1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
ThruScan
WTMD’s are all easy to operate, advanced microprocessor controlled, with digital pulse
induction utilizing VLF Technology that provides superior metal discrimination and detection.
ThruScan sX/sXWP/s15-i/sX-i are versatile and easily portable walk-through metal detection units
providing high level of detection with a walk-thru rate of up to 60 persons per minute. (* for
ThruScan
s3/s6 approx. 30 persons/min)
ThruScan
s15-i/sX-i have fifteen / nine stable and homogeneous detection fields that comprise of
several horizontal and vertical zones, which can detect metal objects within separate scanning
zones of the WTMD. With widened, stable and homogeneous detection zones, the WTMD
determines the search locations for the target objects and displays them on the side panels with
LED lights and on the LCD display graphically, thus speeds up the walk through process
substantially. The operator needs to search only the indicated areas by
ThruScan
’s s9/sX/sX-i/sX-
WP on the side panels. See Section 3.4
A bright, highly visible LED VU display provides a visual indication of the level of detection of metals
within the field of detection. Operator may also approximate the magnitude of the metal by the
warning sound without looking the
ThruScan
’s VU-meter on the Control Panel.
Traffic LED’s (Green or Red) on the side panels (ENTER SIDE) show if WTMD is ready to pass
through. If the lights show green the gateway may be entered, if the lights show red the person
must not enter. See Section 3.3
(*for
ThruScan
s3/s6 traffic lights are under the Control
Panel at gateway)
Zone lights show the location of the metal object whether it is on the left, right, top, bottom or at
the centre of the body and are located on the side panels of the exit side of the gateway. Zone
lights originate from LED arrays of 2x6 to show 9 zones. These zones are being indicated on the
control panel also by “Graphic Zone LEDs (Locator)”.
(*for s3/s6 models, display is only at the
control panel)
A backlit LCD Display (monitor), (See Program MENU Section 3.1.1) is located on the overhead
Control Unit and displays operational information including program, alarm and sensitivity settings
as well as a traffic count of both in-coming and out-going passes.
A see through cover with mechanical lock
(* optional for
ThruScan
s3/s6)
enables access to the
Control Unit in order to prevent unauthorized tampering. Calibration and control settings are further
protected by a Programmable 4 digit
PIN CODE
. See Section 6.8
ThruScan
(s9/sX/s15-i/sX-i/sX-WP) also incorporates an integral UPS battery backup
(*optional
for
ThruScan
s3/s6)
supply to protect the WTMD from power fluctuations and to maintain
operation for up to 2 hours (longer times optional) in case of mains failure. The WTMD
automatically shuts itself down in case of lack of required voltage.
Another unique feature of the
ThruScan
sX/sX-i/sX-WP
is its ability to monitor up to 99 separate
(* for
ThruScan
s3/s6/s9 sixteen WTMDs for 1 PC)
ThruScan
units remotely from a PC or
even remotely from anywhere in the world via a standard and satellite(thuraya) telephone lines
under a modem connection. The hardware for this feature is built in as a standard and the SCADA
software and connection cables are available separately as an option. See Section 7.1
Other features of the
ThruScan
include superior sensitivity, stability and silent operation ability.
All electronic components are built into the overhead Control Unit. Connection with the side panels
are done with sockets, reducing problems often associated with cable-connected console and
simplifying required intervention in case of a breakdown.
