detection can be activated at any time by touching this
OPERATE
pad. If any faults are ever found,
they will be immediately reported on the LCD display. (See Section 4.1.1)
10.8.3
COUNTER
Since the current traffic count of the MT 5500 is usually displayed, this touchpad will be needed only
for resetting the counter. Pressing and holding this touchpad for ten (10) seconds causes the count-
er to return to zero (0). Whenever the LCD displays information other than the current traffic count,
pressing this touchpad will cause the count to appear.
10.8.4
VOLUME
When this touchpad is pressed, the volume level of the unit’s audible alarm will be displayed on the
LCD display. By using the
+
and
-
touchpads, operators can raise or lower the volume.
10.8.5
+ AND -
These touchpads will be used to increase or decrease various numerical settings and for certain ON
/ OFF functions.
10.8.6
PROGRAM
When this touchpad is pressed, the settings for Program and Sensitivity will appear on the LCD dis-
play.
All of the preceding touchpad functions will be available to operators of the detector at all times. The
ACCESS
touchpad will be used only by supervisors.
10.9
ACCESS TOUCHPAD
Operators never need to use this touchpad. This touchpad will be used only by supervisory man-
agement personnel. It permits changing the Program and Sensitivity codes and also is used to con-
trol such functions as synchronization of multiple units, pulse frequency and tone. The unit further
protects security of control settings by maintaining a non-resettable sequence code that indicates
any attempt at seeking access to the settings. A Tamper Alarm sounds within 10 seconds after the
ACCESS touchpad is pressed unless a proper access code is entered. Follow supervisors’ instruc-
tions concerning response to this Tamper Alarm.
10.10
OPERATORS’ RESPONSIBILITIES
•
The primary responsibility of any operator is to follow all instructions of supervisors.
•
These directives will govern the response of operators to alarms and other situations that will be
encountered. The basic continuing responsibility of the operator will be to ensure that the MT 5500
operates properly at all times as indicated by its LCD panel and that
ALL
alarms are investigated.
•
Remember that the cause of every alarm
MUST
be determined.
10.11
OPERATORS’ INSTRUCTIONS
All personnel who are associated with the detector should watch a video presentation on the MT
5500 in addition to studying this User Manual. Carefully following the instructions in the Manual will
help ensure the security of any facility this walk-through detector is expected to protect.
As described in the CONTROLS section of this manual, MT 5500 controls are located in the top sec-
tion of the archway. If the green READY light is not visible on the control panel, press the
OPER-
ATE
touchpad. Operators can also adjust volume of the alarm and can reset the traffic counter.
