8.12 CONSTRUCTION
Attractive scratch- and mar-resistant laminate with resilient end caps; control panel and crosspieces
of heavy duty aluminum.
8.13 REGULATORY STANDARDS
See 8.2.7
8.14 INFRARED SENSOR
Improves analysis of detection signal; increases throughput; helps eliminate "false alarms"; also pro-
vides accurate traffic counter.
8.15 INTERFERENCE REJECTION
100% sensor coil Faraday shielding. Unique Garrett built-in circuitry for noise suppression and ignor-
ing x-ray monitor horizontal sync. Physical interference minimized by coil and design and circuitry.
RFI-EMI filters provide attenuation from 10 MHz to 1000 MHz.
8.16 MASKING
Microprocessor programming designed to minimize the potential problem of detection signals from
two or more targets canceling each other.
8.17 SYNCHRONIZATION
Multiple frequencies permit several MT 5500 units to operate simultaneously, in close proximity.
8.18 ELECTRICAL
Fully automatic 100 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hertz, 55 watts; no rewiring, switching or adjustments
required. Power supply meets UL, CSA, TUV and VDE standards. Also complies with IEC standards
for Safety Requirements for Electronic Measuring Apparatus and meets the Federal
Communications Commission Class B standards for noise emission from commercial electrical
equipment.
8.19 OPERATING TEMPERATURES
-4°F (-20°C) to + 158°F (70°C)
8.20 HUMIDITY
To 95 % noncondensing
8.21 THROUGHPUT RATE
Continuous detection means throughput is not limited by electronics; more than 60 detections per
minute is reasonable; overal througput is maximized by minimum false alarms and alarm display that
assists in locating targets.
8.22 OPTIONAL FEATURES
• 2225770 - Dual battery back up allows 16-20 hours use with quick recharge (within 12 hours)
capability.
• 2225500 - Remote Control Console allows remote operation up to 50 feet operating capability.
• 1168000 - Magna Dolly wheel assembly for easy portability.
• 1603900 - Anti-tilt brackets help prevent tipping and can be used to anchor unit.
