Multiple Walk-Through Operation - Garrett MAGNASCANNER PD 6500 Owner's Manual

11.3

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.
11.3.1. CASE 1
Description:
•
Two or more PD 6500s that interfere with each other
•
Both units plugged into the same AC power line (same circuit breaker)
Procedure:
1. Set all PD 6500's to MASTER.
2. Set end unit (i.e., first or last in a series of PD 6500s) to CHANNEL 1.
3. Set next unit to CHANNEL 2.
4. Set next unit to CHANNEL 3.
5. Repeat pattern for channels 1,2, and 3 for any additional PD 6500s.
11.3.2. CASE 2:

option which may be required to operate in the absence of AC power.
