READY LIGHT
The green
READY
light must appear before a patron is permitted to enter the walk-
through for inspection.
If the
READY
light shuts off and remains off, the operator should immediately press the
OPERATE
touchpad. A self-test program will begin and the results will appear on the
LCD. During this time, no one is permitted to enter the walk-through. Traffic may
resume only when the
READY
light reappears and remains on. If the
READY
light
does not reappear or a failure message appears on the LCD, the operator should con-
sult the supervisor.
8.2.
DIAGNOSTIC PROBLEMS
As a general rule, the operator should follow the supervisor’s instructions regarding the
appropriate response to failures revealed by the self test. However, the operator may
be able to remedy the following failures:
•RX OPTIC FAIL:
Ensure the openings for the optical sensor (located inside both side
panels at approximately 30 inches from the floor) are not blocked.
•RX A or B ZN # BAL FAIL:
Ensure there is no large metal object near the PD 6500.
If the self test reveals a failure that severely limits or prohibits the PD 6500’s perfor-
mance, the alarm will sound, the LED display will flash, and the message,
SYSTEM
FAILURE,
will appear on the LCD. The LED will continue flashing until the power is
turned off or the failure is remedied.
The operator should inform the supervisor of any problems that occur.
8.3.
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 Super Scanner or an Enforcer G-2, or ask the patron 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
alarmable 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.
