  • Page 12: Understanding The Zones

    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.
  • Page 13 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.
  • Page 14 sure that the correct serial ports inside the head unit are securely fastened in the proper locations. There seems to be a lot of alarm detections occurring, more than we want or expected. Why is this? Before implementing a metal detector into your security, one must have a plan as to how the equipment is going to best work for them.
