BASIC INSTRUCTIONS
In addition to following all operating procedures as directed by supervisors the operator
of a Magnascanner CS 5000 detector has only these responsibilities:
¥
Assure that the detector is always operating properly;
¥
Select
Off
and
Operate / On
modes;
¥
Regulate volume of the alarm;
¥
Read and/or reset the counter;
¥
Respond to all alarms.

LCD REPORTS INFORMATION
The LCD on an overhead panel of the detector reports information concerning the unit s
calibration and operation. This includes program data, sensitivity settings, operator set-
tings and fault indication. A bright
LED bar graph
, easily visible from a distance, reports
detection levels and separate lights indicate ready and alarm conditions. All regulation
and control functions are self-prompting with necessary commands shown automati-
cally on the LCD. The unit also features the capability to report a traffic count on its
LCD.
Exact control of the unit s sensitivity is assured by a system with 200 precise and
repeatable steps for each program level, regulated by state-of-the-art touchpads and
reported visually on the LCD. Improved security of the unit s detection settings comes
from a totally new system of access codes. Two levels of codes eliminate the need for
bothersome keys for locked doors or other protective devices, while the Magnascan-
ner s circuitry provides precise accuracy of calibration never before achieved. Access
Code #1 is used by supervisors for selecting programs and sensitivity, with Access
Code #2 designed for initial set-up and overall control. All settings are encoded by
touchpads and stored in a resettable memory.
Security of the unit s calibration settings is further protected by a non-resettable
sequence code that allows supervisors to keep a log of all changes that are ever made
to the program, sensitivity or set up, as well as any unsuccessful attempt at changing
them. In addition, a tamper indication reports any unauthorized attempts at access.
A complete and automatic self-diagnostic program is carried out by the Magnascanner
CS 5000 each time the
OPERATE
touchpad is pressed. In addition, the detector uti-
lizes self-testing circuitry that enables it to identify and report automatically the failure of
elements that would affect operation of the unit.
10.3.
CONTROLS LCD DISPLAY
Large alpha/numeric display on the Control Panel, backlit for easy viewing, reports (in
words) all regulating, controlling and self-prompting functions of the unit. Because the
unit is designed to be user-friendly, all regulation and control functions are self-
prompting with necessary commands shown on the LCD display. Operators should fol-
low instructions of supervisors concerning responses to these commands.
