7.0 ROUTINE MAINTENANCE and SERVICE
7.1 Cleaning of SuiteSentry Single Screener
Inspect the Sensor Array Column as often as operating conditions require. To the exterior surface,
perform the following steps:
1. Ensure that the brackets and mounting assembly is secured to wall; the SuiteSentry Single
Screener Sensor Array Column must be securely attached to wall.
2. Remove loose dust on the outside of the sensor arrays with a lint-free fiber cloth. Use care to
avoid scratching the Lexan diffuser strip over the LED lights.
Use a soft cloth dampened with water to clean the Sensor Array Portal. You may use an aqueous
solution of 75% isopropyl alcohol for more efficient cleaning.
7.2 Periodic Testing of SuiteSentry Single Screener
Perform the SELF TEST routine, detailed in Section 4.2, on a regular basis; quarterly or semi-
annually is adequate. (Page 18)
This is a “Qualitative Only” method for testing your SuiteSentry Single Screener detector
(approx. 3 minutes)
The device you have is our SuiteSentry Single Screener personal screening device. It does not
require any maintenance or calibration however this is a field expedient way to test it for functionality.
First unplug and plug in - this will start a hard reboot and watch the lights in top cap and then column
for systematic illumination, done sequentially. This takes approx. 45 seconds.
With that established:
The actual sensors are 3” above and 3” below each green led in the column.

Take a post it/piece of paper and fold it in half to cover sticky side. Put two staples into it side
by side or slightly overlapped, does not matter.

With the detector activated (all green led’s are on, this is when it detects the heat from a
person through a PIR (Passive infrared) sensor at the very top under the cap) take the stapled
post it and at approx. 6” away (left or right) on plane with each sensor, one at a time, move it
left to right and towards the column and the sensor will activate at some distance. The action
will be as if sweeping across the column from side to side WITHIN 1 INCH

Do this for each of the twelve sensors.

Each of the sensors will detect the small gauss disturbance and only alarm that specific
sensor.
The gauss disturbance from the staple(s) is small enough to not interfere with the sensors 6” Above
and below and will test each specific sensor as one can fail and the other work on same board (very
rare though!). You can also use a credit card stripe (black ferromagnetic stripe) and we will not erase
the data as the sensors are passive and emit no static or dynamic EM/FM fields whatsoever.
