4.1 Installation and Mounting of SuiteSentry Single Screener
Physical installation is simple and only requires a few basic tools. The key to a successful
installation is to adhere to the recommendations for installation location as set forth in Section 3.
Once the desired mounting location has been determined, and the SuiteSentry Single Screener
prescreening detector has been verified for function in the desired location, the mounting of the
detector can commence. Follow the steps below:
Step One: Set Unit in Trial Location:
(Refer to Figures 1, 2 & 3.)
The SuiteSentry Single Screener comes mounted in rigid foam centered inside the cardboard
shipping box. It is meant to remain in the shipping box while still in foam support blocks and can
then be placed as a free standing functional detector to ensure functionality in the area where it is
to be mounted. This allows the installer to easily place and determine IF the detector can be
permanently installed in the desired location. It can easily be moved around as needed to ensure
the area is compatible with the detector.
The shipping carton and foam blocks are designed to support SuiteSentry Single Screener as a
free-standing fixture for initial installation process as well as protect while shipping.
(NOTE : DO NOT LEAVE DETECTOR UNATTENDED – Unit can fall over!)
To prepare SuiteSentry Single Screener from shipping carton, first remove all other equipment
placed inside shipping box. With those items out of the box:

Remove the power supply and power cable from the power supply cover

Plug in the power supply to the SuiteSentry Single Screener (Bottom Cap-Rear) and the line
cord into the outlet -slide SuiteSentry Single Screener away from shipping carton if you need
to plug the supply cable in to the bottom cap receptacle. (SEE Fig. 1, 2 and 3 in Sec.4.1)
After the unit automatically sequences through the self-test routine (approx. 35 seconds), it is
extremely important to monitor the detector and ensure it is STABLE to the electromagnetic fields in
the area. Leave it in this position for at least 5-10 minutes to allow the electronics to normalize to this
location . Very Important: If the blue LED’s at top do not stop illuminating, the detector should
not be mounted in this location ! Move the detector away from the area incrementally to find a
stable location for permanent mounting.
If there are moving objects or other electromagnetic interferences too near which cause the blue
bar graph to indicate 1 bar segment or greater, lower the sensitivity or relocate the detector as this
location is not suitable. As gauss fields decrease at the cube of the distance, move the detector
incrementally away to find a more stable installation location. Sensitivity can be decreased from 1
beep (maximum) to 25 beeps (minimum) (factory setting) incrementally decreased to mid-scale if
the location does not allow for maximum sensitivity however the ability to detect smaller objects will
be diminished.
The object(s) causing the disturbance should be moved or the SuiteSentry Single Screener should
be moved to ensure stability.
If the location is acceptable , continue with the permanent installation steps outlined next.
TIP! Fully read Section 3 & Section 4 prior to starting Installation
CAUTION!
The SuiteSentry Single Screener is sensitive to large dynamic EM pulses as well
as strong static gauss fields. If the detector cannot stabilize in the preferred
locaiton a secondary location must be found!
