INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
3.1.
SITE SELECTION
Before choosing a site for the Magnascanner PD 6500, it is important to consider the
volume and throughput of pedestrian traffic, space availability and overall environmen-
tal conditions. Position the Magnascanner PD 6500 on a level, stable floor where it
remains unaffected by rain, mist or condensation.
To avoid external metal interference, ensure that there are no large metal items within
three feet of the PD 6500. Nearby moving metallic objects, such as an escalator or a
revolving door can also cause false alarms, as can electrical interference from radio
telephones, television monitors, powerful electronic motors and transformers, power
cables and control circuits.
To meet stability requirements, the PD 6500 must be firmly secured to the ground.
Anchor the unit to the floor, using the 1/4” mounting holes located at the base of each
panel. Position the PD 6500 in the desired location. Using the panels as guides, mark
and drill the holes, then secure the walk-through using the appropriate mounting
devices. Tighten only to prevent rocking; DO NOT overtighten. Finally, ensure that the
power cable is protected from pedestrian and vehicular traffic.
