3.5.21 sYNCHrONIZATION
Synchronization is factory preset to MASTER. (Refer to Section 2.3 for a more detailed
explanation of synchronization.)
SYNC MASTER provides the PD 6500i with a self-generated synchronization from the
power line.
SYNC SLAVE synchronizes the PD 6500i from a secondary signal on the sync
terminal located on the left edge of the transmitter controller board. SYNC, which indicates
MASTER or SLAVE, will appear on LCD. The user may use the + / - touchpads to change
sync to MASTER or SLAVE.
3.5.22 CHANNeL
This feature enables multiple Garrett walk-through metal detectors to operate simultaneously
in proximity. Use Channels 1 and 2 when two or more PD 6500i 's are operating near each
other. (See Section 2.3.)
CHANNEL, shown with either 1 or 2, will appear on LCD. The user may use the + / -
touchpads to change channel to 1 or 2.
Note: If Line Sync is set to OFF, Channel Adjustment has no effect on the detector.
Note: When using any other Garrett walk-through metal detectors with PD 6500i s, use
channels A and B to coincide with other Garrett walk-through channels A and B.
3.5.23 PrOGrAM
PROG, which indicates the current program setting, will appear on the LCD. If the user is
authorized to change the program, the user may scroll the menu of programs using the
+ / - touchpads to find the new program. Stop scrolling when the desired program appears on
the LCD. (Refer to Table 4-2 for a listing and description of programs.)
3.5.24 BAse seNsITIvITY
At higher sensitivity settings, smaller metal objects are detected. Conversely, at lower
sensitivity settings, only larger metal objects are detected. Keep in mind that the sensitivity
should be set high enough so that the smallest forbidden object (depending on your security
needs) can be detected.
BASE SENSE, shown with the current base sensitivity setting, will appear on the LCD. If user
is authorized to change the base sensitivity, the user may select from 1-200 using the
+ / - touchpads. To determine proper sensitivity setting, follow ALARM LEVEL setting
instructions in section 3.5.25. (See Section 3.5.26 for instructions on adjusting sensitivity of
individual zones.)
SPECiAL NOTE
A final decision on program and base sensitivity settings is the sole responsibility of the end
user and must be determined by keeping the purpose of the security application in mind.
