IR ANALYSIS
The Garrett Magnascanner CS 5000 utilizes an Infrared Sensor to enhance the opera-
tion of the unit in special situations. IR Analysis
ON
or
OFF
appears on the LCD to
indicate whether or not the IR Analysis is being used. The
+
or
touchpad is used to
turn the IR Analysis off and on. Whenever this is done, it is necessary to press
ACCESS
for the next adjustment or
OPERATE
to return to normal operation.
Utilization of the Infrared Sensor is not required for operation of the Magnascanner and
may be disabled if desired.
Several benefits of the sensor are:
1. The units can operate more effectively by correlating signal responses with actual
physical movement. Because this sensor enables the Magnascanner to detect just
those individuals and objects while they are passing through the detector, it can
minimize effects of noise and other influences.
2. By inhibiting the alarm when no one is in its archway, the IR Analysis greatly mini-
mizes nuisance alarms. In instances where there is movement of large metal
objects near the exterior of the unit, such as when luggage or supply carts pass by,
or when lack of space requires the unit to be placed very near a conveyor belt of
parcel X-ray equipment, the sensor will effectively inhibit alarms.
3. The IR Analysis provides a warning any time the unit is in the Set-Up or Self-Test
Mode.
4. The IR Analysis enables the detector to count the number of individuals passing
through it.

ALARM LEVEL READING
Computerized circuitry of the Garrett Magnascanner CS 5000 permits the unit to report
the minimum sensitivity level required to cause an alarm for the particular metallic tar-
get that is being passed through the archway. This information can then be used to reg-
ulate the unit.
Press the
ACCESS
touchpad until
PLEASE WAIT
appears on the LCD Display, fol-
lowed by
ALARM LEVEL
and a number. The target in question should then be passed
through the unit. Note the Alarm Reading number that then appears on the LCD. This is
the Sensitivity level that will be necessary for the unit to sound an alarm on this target.
Press the
+
touchpad to reset the indicator after each measurement. It is recommended
that several measurements of each object in question be made at various archway
positions to obtain the optimum sensitivity level setting.
