PROGRAM SELECTION
(
PROG: AIRPORTS)
Several programs have been developed for use with the Garrett Magnascanner PD
6500 to meet a variety of security needs. (See Section 11-2 for a complete list of pro-
grams and their respective applications.)
The Program Selection mode enables the supervisor to select a program (e.g., schools,
airports, loss prevention) that best meets the needs of the screening installation. For
example, when you select
PROG: AIRPORTS
, the PD 6500 detects guns, but elimi-
nates certain metal objects from detection; in this case, innocuous items such as keys,
loose change and cigarette packs. When you select
PRISONS
, the unit detects all
metal objects.
After accessing the Program Selection mode with the correct four-digit code, use the +
and – touchpads to scroll through the selections.
Press
ACCESS
for the next adjustment or
OPERATE
to resume normal operation.
6.2.
BASE SENSE
(
BASE SENSE: 165
)
Two hundred base sensitivity settings are available for each program. At higher sensi-
tivity settings, smaller metal objects are detected. Conversely, at lower sensitivity set-
tings, larger metal objects are detected. Keep in mind that the sensitivity should be set
high enough so that the smallest forbidden object (depending on your security needs)
can be detected.

Special Note
A final decision on program and base sensitivity settings is the sole responsibility of the end
user and must be determined by the intent of the security application.
