10.4 READY LIGHT
This green light appears when full power has been turned on and the unit is ready to detect. The
light will also indicate when an individual inspection has been completed by the unit and it is ready to
accept the next person. Operators should make certain the green light is visible before any individual
is permitted to pass through the detector.
10.5 ALARM LIGHT
This red light appears when the unit detects a targeted amount of metal on an individual, according
to specifications of the Program and Sensitivity levels that supervisors have entered into its circuitry.
This light will appear even when sound volume is inaudible. Operators should follow instructions of
supervisors in responding to alarms. It is absolutely necessary that the cause of EVERY ALARM be
determined.
10.6 TYPES OF AUDIO ALARMS
The CS 5000 has three types of alarms. Each of these unique alarms is designed to call the operator's
attention to current circumstances:
10.6.1 SET-UP ALARM
Produces two short beeps as a person is walking through the unit. This alarm indicates that the
metal detector is in a set-up mode and is not ready for operation. Wait for green READY light (press
OPERATE touchpad, if necessary). Person(s) who triggered the Set-up Alarm must pass through the
unit again.
10.6.2 STANDARD ALARM
Occurs when a red Alarm Light appears and a targeted amount of metal is detected according to
Program and Sensitivity levels.
10.6.3 WARBLE ALARM
Occurs when a large metal mass (a wheelchair) moves through or near the Magnascanner. When
a large amount of metal saturates the detector's receiver circuits the warble alarm indicates that the
situation should be corrected before anyone passes through the detector.
10.7 BAR GRAPH
This LED display indicates the amount of any metal passing through the unit.
10.8 TOUCHPADS
Eight touchpads on the overhead Control Panel perform all control functions.
10.8.1 STANDBY
When this touchpad is pressed, the unit goes into a low power mode, ready to be returned to full
operation when the OPERATE pad is touched. Operators should use all touchpads only as instructed
by supervisors.
10.8.2 OPERATE
When this touchpad is pressed, the CS 5000 activates all circuits, initiates a self-
diagnostic program and places the unit in the Operate Mode within 10 seconds.
This diagnostic program for instant fault detection can be activated at any time by touching this
OPERATE pad. If any faults are ever found, they will be immediately reported on the LCD display.
