MULTIPLE UNIT OPERATION

There are several options for installation of multiple units in close proximity. The following list of
examples will be helpful in determining an appropriate method of connection.
For proper operation, each walk-through metal detector must be set to receive no interference from
adjoining units. This can be determined by observing the bar graph indication of one unit while
switching the remaining unit(s) from Standby to Operate. If the noise flicker increases on the BAR
GRAPH of a unit, then it may be necessary to select another set-up.

• Two (2) units which interfere with each other;
