SITE SELECTION
The Garrett Magnascanner CS 5000 should be located on a level, stable floor with no
large metal items within three (3) feet. Any nearby large metallic object can interfere
with operation of the detector. Moving metallic objects, such as an escalator or revolv-
ing door, close to the detector can cause false alarms. Such alarms can also be caused
by electrical interference from radio telephones, television monitors, powerful electronic
motors and transformers, power cables and control circuits.
Garrett s special built-in circuitry is designed to suppress much of this electronic noise,
especially X-ray monitor horizontal synchronization signals and closed circuit television.
Multiple frequencies permit several Magnascanner units to operate simultaneously, in
close proximity.
For information concerning the operation of multiple units, see Page 38.
The site for a Magnascanner CS 5000 should be selected with requirements for its
pedestrian traffic and use in mind; i.e. space for waiting lines, operators and areas for
hand-scanning. Although the detector is effective with traffic moving in either direction,
best results are obtained when traffic enters from the side opposite to the control touch-
pads and LCD display.
Locate the archway where it will not be subject to rain, mist or condensation. Protect
the power cable from pedestrian as well as vehicular traffic.
