Safety Protection: Double password protected, allowing only authorized personnel operation and access. Multiple passwords allow for better security parameters. Parameter settings are automatically stored without interrupting power supply protection, both safe and convenient. Electromagnetic Radiation: EMC electromagnetic radiation standards; use of weak magnetic field technology, safe for pregnant women, cell phones, film, video tapes and other sound equipment.

Understanding the Zones A: Alarm Zone Locations – There are 6 unique and precise zones that will monitor and attempt to detect for metal each time somebody walks through. Each zone can be individually programmed for a specific sensitivity. Each individual zone will light up when metal is detected and a beep will sound to alert security as to where the metal is located.

Signal Strong or Weak Indicator: The signal strength of the board. (For best results, have the unit in a location where the signal strength is at zero dots or 1). Many times, the board will detect surrounding metal (door frames, HVAC vents, banisters or metal doors). Please keep the unit about 3 feet away from these types of items, or until the signal indicator is empty or at 1 dot.

A Visual Flowchart to Help Guide with Instructions on Previous Page The best way to determine what sensitivity setting would work best for you, is to start on the lowest sensitivity setting – 01 and find an article of metal that you wish to pick up. Walk through with the object and increase sensitivity gradually until the detector picks up the metal.

What does the signal strength indicator mean? This is how the unit detects metal. This indicates the density and presence of metal. Sometimes if there are any overhead pipes, hvac vents, metal doors, metal cabinets or florescent light fixtures this may trigger this indicator to light up. Ideally you would want to keep 2-3 feet from these items and find a location where this indicator won’t light up continuously.

I set up my unit, but it will not sound when I walk through with metal? Always remember that the control panel with the buttons and LED should always be facing away from the people walking through. Continue with the flowchart and make sure that your alarm time length is not set at y-00.
