resPONDING TO ALArMs
If a patron triggers an alarm and the alarm light appears, the Operator should instruct the
individual to step outside the walk-through and remove any metal objects from their body
and/or clothing. The Operator should then either scan the patron with a hand-held metal
detector, such as a SuperScanner of SuperWand or ask the person to re-enter the
walk-through.
If an alarm sounds after the patron reenters the walk-through, he or she must be re-scanned
with a hand-held metal detector.
The pinpoint lights facilitate the screening process by indicating the location of ALL alarm-
able objects within 33 pinpoint areas. In cases, where there is more than one object, the
lights appear in each array that requires investigation. This enables the Operator to know from
which area(s) objects require removal and to concentrate on the problem areas when hand
scanning, resulting in improved overall security and increased throughput.
