PERATION
The detector will indicate when it is ready to screen the next person and will automatically signal an
alarm along with location guidance information for any metal detected.
S
TANDBY
:
When the detector is idle over 10 minutes (time can be set from 1 to 99 minutes), it will change to
standby status. This only blanks the display screen, which can be restored by pressing any key on the
unit or on the remote control; the screen will also restore when anyone passes through.
D
ORMANCY
When the standby time is set for less than 10 minutes, and the detector is idle longer than the standby
time, the detector will shift to dormant status after one hour. When dormant, only the CPU is active. If
the standby time is set to longer than 10 minutes, the detector will shift to inactive status after “standby
time X 6” (If set to 12 minutes, the dormancy time will be 12X6=72 minutes). Press the “power on key”
to wake up the unit from dormancy.

YSTEM CHECK
System self-checks for faults during the boot process.

ERMINOLOGY
The following terms are used in this manual:
WTMD
Walkthrough Metal Detector.
Sensitivity
A parameter used to define the size of the detected metal object. As
sensitivity is increased, the size of the detected metal objects will
become smaller.
Discrimination
The ability of a metal detector to distinguish between different types
of metals and other harmful goods and weapons. Discrimination may
be influenced by several factors including the sensitivity settings,
changes in weather, and more. In addition to discovering dangerous
target objects such as weapons, the proper level of discrimination can
enable screening for other objects of interest as well.
Harmless Alarm
An alarm caused by a person who walks through the WTMD with
harmless objects.
False Alarm
An alarm caused by reasons other than metal objects, such as
electronic interference. An alarm caused by metal objects (harmless or
useful) is not considered a false alarm.
