Fisher Labs M-Scope Operation Manual page 5

tiPs
1. The M-Scope should be powered down (turned off) prior to disassembling the unit, or prior to disconnecting or swapping
any of the transmitter and receiver panels.
2. Unit comes on and then cycles off.
a. Check the battery voltage and if below 10.9 volts, recharge the batteries completely or hook up the charging unit. The
voltage must be above the 10.9 range or the unit will not come on. See Fig. L
3. Unit tries to come on but won't power up.
a. Check the position of all the transmit and receive panels and make sure they are placed properly, and that the top is
put on correctly. There are red and green dots under the latches that are used to help with the correct placement of
the panels. See Fig. G
4. Unit comes on but has no display on screen (blue screen).
a. Press the number 3 key on the control panel and then use the up arrow until the screen contrast returns the desired
level, or
b. Press the factory preset key #6 or any of the user preset keys #7, 8, or 9.
5. Unit comes on but has a blocked photo diode.
a. Disassemble the unit and reassemble it placing the receive panels in a different order. Make sure to check for proper
placement of the bases. If the unit still shows a blocked diode but in another location the panel will need to be
replaced.
b. Make sure that the unit is placed on level ground so that the panels are parallel with each other. We recommend that
bases with the leveler option be used on uneven surfaces.
6. Unit is plugged into the charger but the voltage isn't going up.
a. Make sure the AC plug is plugged in to a live outlet, and that the charger output plug is pushed all the way in to the
unit and making good contact. See Fig. L
7. To switch unit to operate at 50/60 Hz mode.
a. In diagnostic mode, press the up button which will allow you to toggle between 50/60 Hz. When operating in countries
with 60 Hz AC power, the 60 Hz mode should be selected. Conversely, when operating in countries with 50 Hz AC
power, the 50 Hz mode should be selected. 50 Hz will not operate correctly within a 60 Hz environment and vice versa.
8. Fisher recommends that all M-Scope units intended for outdoor useage be used with our Weather Protective Package
option. This option includes a pop-up shelter that shields the M-Scope from direct sunlight (UV rays), and from rainfall. The
"Weather Protected" option also includes a mat to keep the bases from getting excessively dirty.
9. Fisher recommends that when using a hand held weapons detector in conjunction with the M-Scope, the hand held operator
stand approximately 3 feet or more from the M-Scope.
10. Remember that the M-Scopes factory default access code is 01. The default access code will remain 01 until it is changed
by a user.
11. Remember that when storing or transporting your M-Scope, make sure that you secure the latches in their locked position
to prevent them from bending or breaking.

12. Remember the following tips for caring and maintaining your M-Scope:
• Check the spring contact pins and boards for dirt and debris.
• When cleaning your M-Scope, use a damp cloth only.
• Do not submerge the bases or allow the bases to be placed in an area where their is a chance they might get rain runoff.
• Do not use the M-Scope in direct rain, see Tip 8 for information on Fisher's Weather Protective Package Option.
• If your M-Scope, does get wet, turn off immediately and disassemble. Wipe external surfaces dry and slightly shake
individual parts to remove water from inside the unit. Allow the unit to thoroughly dry before you assemble and turn on.
If you are experiencing trouble, after you have allowed the unit sufficient time to dry, please contact the factory
13. Please see details on your warranty card if service becomes necessary or contact the Fisher factory.

The walls can be tipped over when they are not connected to each other through the control unit, so before assembling the
walls, we need to make sure that the bases will be stable enough to build on. (Once the unit is fully assembled, the walls
and control unit will form a stable structure that can't be pushed over easily). There are adjustable outrigger supports built
into the sides of the bases that are used to increase the width of the bases' stances while the walls are being raised. This
makes the walls less prone to being knocked over. To adjust one of these outriggers, pull it out part way, until it is free to
rotate. There are several positions at which the outrigger will lock into place when fully extended. Rotate the outrigger to
the point where the outrigger's foot is in contact with the ground, then pull the outrigger all the way out, and try turning
it slightly in either direction until it locks in place in the best position available. Follow this the process with the M-Scopes
four outriggers. Fig. e

At this point you must decide which end of the portal will serve as the entrance and which will serve as the exit. The
operator's position is the exit, which is the end facing the LED bar graph and L.C.D. Fig. F - Note that the transmitter &
receiver panels position is determined by the orientation of the control panel. When facing the exit/operator position, the right
hand wall will consist of three transmitter panels, and the left hand wall will consist of three receiver panels. Incorrect
placement of the control unit & panels will cause the unit to malfunction!
