Multiple Walk-Through Site Installation Setup - Garrett PD 6500i User Manual

Garrett offers an optional SELECTED TEST OBJECT that meets the
specifications of the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) (Garrett
Accessory #1600600), and represents a small firearm.
Each installation requires a carefully selected calibration test object.
2.3.2 FUNCTIONAL TEST
A standard, functional test is essential in order to ensure that the PD 6500i is
always calibrated and functioning properly. The test should complement your
overall security plan and be performed daily. Pass a SELECTED TEST
OBJECT and/or other objects at varying locations and orientations within the
archway. Note the number of repetitions that you need to trigger successful
alarms.
Whoever performs the routine test must be free of metallic items, including
shoes with steel toes or shanks prior to testing. A hand-held metal detector
can be used to confirm that the tester is "metal free".

MULTIPLE WALK-THROUGH SITE INSTALLATION SETUP

Each PD 6500i must be free from interference from adjoining walk-through
metal detectors. 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 interference is indicated on the walk-through's bar graph
when remaining unit(s) are in the operate mode, and no interference takes
place with remaining units off, crosstalk is occurring.
There are several ways to successfully install multiple walk-throughs in close
proximity with no crosstalk. The following examples are aimed to help the
installer determine an appropriate method.
2.4.1 CASE 1
Description:
• Two or more PD 6500i 's that interfere with each other.
• All units within 25' to 100' of each other depending on sensitivity settings
• Do not place more than two units within any 10' span.
Procedure:
1. Set all PD 6500i's synchronization MASTER.
2. Set end unit (i.e., first or last in a series of PD 6500i 's) to CHANNEL 1.
3. Set next unit to CHANNEL 2.
4. Set next unit to CHANNEL 1.
5. Repeat pattern for channels 1 and 2 for any additional PD 6500i's.
