GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF INTELLISCAN SIX-ZONE
The Ranger Intelliscan Six-Zone uses a unique Continuous Wave Multiple Sensor
Technique. An embedded processor analyzes data from multiple individual sensors. An
Alarm Display Panel depicts the archway opening, showing six separate detection zones
within the opening. The six zones are monitored individually and typically, when used
for weapon screening, detect a metal mass the size of a weapon before alarming. This
substantially negates the problem of small amount of harmless metal, such as keys and
coins, causing an unwanted alarm. Security personnel can pinpoint the exact location
within the archway where a weapon-sized object is being carried. If more than one
weapon is carried the location of each is displayed.
The ground zone can be used to accurately compensate for signal losses caused by
structural metal in a support floor. This independent adjustment eliminates the need to
increase the overall sensitivity of the detector. In contrast, when a conventional detector
is operated on a support floor containing re-bar its overall sensitivity must be raised to a
level where detection occurs at floor level. This overall increase in sensitivity causes the
upper region of the detector to become overly sensitive and unwanted alarms occur.
Intelliscan’s fully adjustable floor control enables uniform detection to be achieved
throughout the detector as the upper zone can be operated independently at normal
sensitivity levels. Intelliscan Six-Zone’s Multiple Zone Detection increases the
throughput rate of people being screened. A decrease in unwanted alarms from harmless
personal metal objects; coupled with the ability to identify the location of weapon sized
objects both increase screening efficiency. Traffic flows faster and more smoothly
because of the lower incidence of unwanted alarms. Also, when an alarm does occur the
guard can immediately target the suspect object. Screening speed, accuracy, and quality
of security are all enhanced.
The Intelliscan Six-Zone uses self-diagnostics that monitor electronics; environmental,
interference and metal overload conditions. The alarm Display Panel includes a twelve-
segment signal strength bar graph that provides an indication of sized object and strength
of external interference.
Intelliscan eliminates common detector problems such as false alarms, uneven detection,
and inconsistent operation. The super performance of the Intelliscan Six-Zone benefits
everyone – security personnel have a lower workload, the public suffer less delays the
purchaser enjoys higher quality surveillance.
*NOTE: it is imperative
That the serial numbers on the header
& side panels A & B all match,
As each unit is calibrated with
the specific matching set of side panels
And headers and mix-matching
them may cause Dead spots
(non-detecting spots) or erratic operation.
