MULTIPLE WALK-THROUGH OPERATION
Each PD 6500 must be free from interference from adjoining walk-through metal detec-
tors. To ensure that there is no interference, observe the bar graph of one walk-through
while switching the remaining walk-through(s) from
OFF
to
OPERATE
. If a walk-
through’s bar graph continues flickering, a different set-up may be needed.
There are several ways to install multiple walk-throughs in close proximity. The follow-
ing examples are aimed to help the installer determine an appropriate method.
