1.0 INTRODUCTION & OVERVIEW SuiteSentry™ Single Screener is a revolutionary patented Ferromagnetic Detector (FMD) system designed to help keep ferromagnetic material from accidentally entering the Magnetic Resonance Imaging magnet room. The system primarily consists of an array of sensors and microprocessors built into a walk-up Sensor Array Column. This product is intended to reduce the risk from an ordinary object that might suddenly become an unintended projectile due to its attraction to the magnetic field of the MR scanner magnet.
2.0 PRE‐INSTALLATION CHECKLIST 2.1 Product Identification and Shipping List The SuiteSentry Single Screener hardware is shipped in one corrugated carton. This long carton contains all the items required for assembly and installation of the SuiteSentry Single Screener System. The contents are listed below. Component SuiteSentry Single Screener 400151...
2.3 Summary of Tasks The following steps are a general guideline and actual workflow may differ depending on the specific site and installation area. This section is provided so the installer has a general outline of the steps in the installation and training process. TIP! Test SuiteSentry Single Screener in desired installation area prior to permanent mounting to ensure it is viable for that installation location otherwise you may have to relocate due to electromagnetic interference!!!
3.0 SITE SELECTION & INSTALLATION GUIDELINES 3.1 Overview The SuiteSentry Single Screener Ferromagnetic Detector consists of an array of sensors and microprocessors built into a walk-up Sensor Array Column. The detector analyzes objects on patients or personnel passing in front of the Sensor Array Column, screening for the object’s potential risk as a ferromagnetic projectile.
3.3 Operational Siting Requirements-Performance Since SuiteSentry Single Screener is designed to detect moving ferrous objects passing near or approaching the Sensor Array Column, the selected site should be away from extraneous moving objects such as printers, office chairs, and file cabinet drawers. Special hardware and software design reduces the sensitivity to moving ferromagnetic objects on the sides and behind the Sensor Array Column, but separation of movable ferromagnetic masses from the sides of the Detector System is also desirable.
4.0 INSTALLATION, MOUNTING and POWER‐UP 4.1 Installation and Mounting of SuiteSentry Single Screener TIP! Fully read Section 3 & Section 4 prior to starting Installation Physical installation is simple and only requires a few basic tools. The key to a successful installation is to adhere to the recommendations for installation location as set forth in Section 3. Once the desired mounting location has been determined, and the SuiteSentry Single Screener prescreening detector has been verified for function in the desired location, the mounting of the detector can commence.

Step Two: Remove SuiteSentry Single Snanner from the shipping/test carton: Remove the SuiteSentry Single Screener and carefully place SuiteSentry Single Screener on floor/horizontal surface out of the way. Carefully remove rigid foam blocks from body of SuiteSentry Single Screener column. Step Three: Wall Bracket Attachment: There are two methods to attach the bracket to the wall surface.
Wall Bracket Attachment: Wall Toggler Anchor Method (continued) Observe the following steps to install the Togglers into the drywall. Figure 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4 Fastening Wall Toggler to Wall Drill a 1/2" (Ø13mm) hole. Hold metal channel flat alongside plastic straps and slide channel through hole. Minimum clearance behind wall: 1-7/8"...
Mounting of SuiteSentry Single Screener (Continued) Wall Bracket Attachment: Wall Toggler Anchor Method (continued) Figure 7: Fastening Wall Toggler through Mounting Block and into wall. NOTE: The togglers are very strong and DO require the use of the included washers to be used.

Mounting the SuiteSentry Single Screener Array Column into the Wall Bracket 1. The Sensor Array Column slips inside the mount brackets in a channel. (see Fig. 10) 2. To fasten to the two brackets, insert the side screws through the two brackets and carefully and gently thread into detector column.
4.2 Power-Up and Diagnostic Instructions There is no ON/OFF switch. Plug in the power supply to the rear bottom connector on the Sensor Array Column and plug the power cord into the wall socket. Verify that the green power indicator on the wall mounted Power Supply is ON (as it is in Fig.
5.0 OPERATION PROCEDURES 5.1 General Description of Operation of SuiteSentry Single Screener When SuiteSentry Single Screener is in operation, the device passively senses the magnet fringe field of the specific environment it is placed in and “normalizes” to it. If an approaching object is made of ferromagnetic material, the sensors in the vertical Sensor Array Column detect the object’s ferromagnetic content, analyzes its ferromagnetic mass and threat potential and if it exceeds the preset sensitivity threshold, the detector displays a visual alarm in the approximate...

5.2 Operation and Usage of SuiteSentry Single Screener The following steps are recommended for the user to ensure consistent and reliable results while screening themselves, other staff, or patients. Please note there are 2 methods for using the SuiteSentry Single Screener. It is the screener’s choice as to which method is best based on possible movement limitations of the person being screened.
6.0 CALIBRATION & DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES SuiteSentry Single Screener control functions are set at the time of product installation by the installer. CAUTION! Changing of the control settings should be approached with care as they will alter the behavior of the unit. Control Functions - Top Control Panel (under slide) Figure 14: SuiteSentry Single Screener Controls SENSITIVITY CONTROL...
6.1 Sensitivity Adjustment SuiteSentry Single Screener produces an audible and visual alarm when detecting ferromagnetic objects. The sensors in the unit are inherently very sensitive and designed for that purpose. Furthermore, the sensors in the SuiteSentry Single Screener are so sensitive that attempting to use them too near the MR Scanner or other electronic sources will likely cause inconsistent results and/or reduced sensitivity (as described in Section 3.3).
6.2 Motion Detector Adjustment The purpose of the Motion Detector is to control the mode or function of the detector. Standby Mode: In Standby Mode the detector is functioning ONLY as an ambient magnetic field display. The detector will NOT display Green LED lights and will NOT register an audible alarm even though it is detecting and displaying disturbances to the local ambient magnetic field through a series of 8 blue LED’s at the top cover assembly.
7.0 ROUTINE MAINTENANCE and SERVICE 7.1 Cleaning of SuiteSentry Single Screener Inspect the Sensor Array Column as often as operating conditions require. To the exterior surface, perform the following steps: 1. Ensure that the brackets and mounting assembly is secured to wall; the SuiteSentry Single Screener Sensor Array Column must be securely attached to wall.
9.0 SPECIFICATIONS, CLASSIFICATION & REFERENCE DOCUMENTS 9.1 Specifications NUMBER OF DETECTION ZONES: Six (6) HEIGHT OF UNIFORM SENSITIVITY: Greater than six (6) feet HAZARD LOCATION INDICATORS: Four (4) amber flashing lights at height of the hazardous ferrous object and one (1) in the Top Control Panel display.
