CONTROLS & MODULES
2.1
DISPLAY PANEL
2.1.1
LED BAR GRAPHS
The two LED displays located on the Control Panel indicate the detection intensity which is based
on the amount and composition of metallic objects passing through the unit.
2.1.2
READY LIGHT
This green light appears when power is turned on and the unit is ready to operate. The light will also
indicate when an individual inspection has been completed by the unit and it is ready to accept the
next person. Operators should make certain the green light is visible before any individual is permit-
ted to pass through the detector.
2.1.3
LCD PANEL
Large alpha/numeric LCD, backlit for easy viewing, reports all operating, setup and diagnostic infor-
mation of the unit. Because the unit is designed to be “user-friendly”, all regulation and control func-
tions are self-prompting with necessary commands shown on the LCD display.
2.1.4
ALARM LIGHTS
These red lights appear when the unit detects a targeted amount of metal on an individual, accord-
ing to specifications of the Program and Sensitivity levels that have been selected. If only one light
appears, it will indicate which side (left or right) of the passageway the largest target can be found.
When both lights appear, the target(s) are centered, or balanced, within the archway. The lights will
appear even when Audio volume has been turned OFF. Operators should be instructed to respond
to all alarms. For any detector to be effective in a security system it is absolutely necessary that the
cause of EVERY ALARM be determined.
