MAINTENANCE & REPAIR
10.1.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Periodic maintenance requires that you inspect for loose or damaged parts and clean
the surface of the PD 6500’s exterior. The following procedure is recommended:
1
. Open the access door of the detection unit and ensure that the connectors are
snapped securely and the screws and nuts are in place.
2
. Inspect the windows of the IR sensor to ensure they are not blocked.
3
. Ensure that the eight screws that attach the crosspiece and detection unit to the
panels are in place and tight.
4
. Ensure that the archway sits flat on the floor and does not sway or rock.
5
. Ensure that there the power cord and cable to remote devices are neither frayed nor
broken. If necessary, replace immediately.
6
. Clean exterior surfaces with mild soap and water only. Use only denatured alcohol
for heavy-duty cleaning.
10.2.
REPAIR
The Magnascanner’s modular design facilitates assembly and maintenance.
If problems are site-related, see Section 3.1 or contact the factory for assistance. Often,
adjusting or relocating the equipment, or removing nearby objects resolves problems.
If the equipment does not perform properly, contact your dealer or the factory
for assistance.
10.3.
MODULE REPLACEMENT
The system comprises a series of removable and replaceable modules that are tested
and calibrated independently, thereby eliminating the need for adjustments to the elec-
tronic assembly.
However, after any component is replaced,
the system must be tested thoroughly
to
confirm that the PD 6500 operates properly.
