Operating Principle
In general, a modern Metal Detector for checking people in transit comprises:
• An electronics unit, made up of:

• a variable magnetic field
generator
• a receiver
• a processing and control unit,

SOME HELPFUL GUIDELINES FOR METAL DETECTORS
The parameters which best characterise a Metal Detector are as
follows
• Discrimination: This parameter reflects the variation in
sensitivity between potentially dangerous metal objects (due to
their particular shape compared with their volume) and personal
effects (such as coins, keys, watches, buckles, etc...). When a
detector with low discrimination is used, personal effects can
cause a large number of false alarms, rendering the system
ineffective in practical terms.
• Uniformity in detection efficiency: This parameter is closely
connected with the linearity of the magnetic field generated
inside the Metal Detector. Generally speaking, the greater the
uniformity, the better the discrimination.
• Sensitivity: alarm activation threshold: the greater the
sensitivity, the smaller the metal mass which will cause an
alarm.
• Interception speed: the transit speed of a person through the
metal detector archway usually depends on situational factors,
and can vary considerably. The sensitivity of a good Metal
Detector should be independent of the speed of transit.
• Programming: C.E.I.A. have designed their Metal Detectors to
include the possibility of selecting the settings of the operational
parameters: this predisposition facilitates both the installation of
the device (rejection of external sources of interference) and
adaptation to the user’s requirements (orientation towards
ferromagnetic and/or non-magnetic metals). This feature is
particularly important in the detection of weapons made of light
metal.
• Immunity to interference: environmental electromagnetic
interference of mechanical or electrical origin is the principal
cause of false alarms, because it augments the effective signal
of the mass to be detected. Particular attention must therefore
be paid to the Metal Detector’s immunity to this type of
interference.

allow several Metal Detectors to operate in a restricted area
without influencing each other, it must be possible to
synchronise them without the help of cable connections.

of variations or cuts in the mains supply.
modern Metal Detector must allow its installation in whatever
environment, without any interference caused by other
external devices. The security level may usually be adjusted

with a special command (IS) allowing the direct selection of
the functioning parameters which determine a security level
conforming to the International Standards.

which also signals accidental faults. Modular construction
furthermore allows the faulty parts to be replaced quickly and

Construction of the Metal Detector
CEIA Metal Detectors are made up of an electronics unit and an archway antenna; the connection between
the two is via two cables (one for the transmitter and one for the receiver ).
Electronics Unit
The electronics unit, which is extremely compact, is available in an shock-resistant plastic casing, with
protection grade IP20, or in a tight metal container, with protection grade P55 (for the outdoor model).
Both casings are designed to be attached directly to the crossbar of the archway.

Positioning
Transit requirements
The Metal Detector will be positioned, according to the requirements dictated by the transit, in such a way as
to allow the maximum flow of people and observance of the rules for installation.
See notes on the following pages for correct positioning.
Minimum distances - Electrical and mechanical compatibility
General Rules
:
- avoid movement of significant metal masses less than 70 cm from the Metal Detector antenna;
- avoid the presence of electric lines and electrical devices less than 30 cm from the metal detector probe,
especially the receiver section (RX).
- move electrical/electronic devices (e.g. motors or switching power supplies) in general away from the
metal detector probe, especially the receiver section (RX): the distance depends on the type and power
of the device.

Ohm.
The following notes refer to an airport departure
terminal equipped with an X-ray unit for
personal effects and a metal detector to
intercept any weapons carried by passengers.
Siting of the devices
Care must be taken in the siting of the
devices to avoid electromagnetic interference.
The RX antenna of the MD metal detector
should ideally be located as far as possible from
the monitor (MO) and conveyor belt of the X-ray
inspection device (XR).
Site the transmitter antenna (TX), recognisable
by its power-supply connector, next to this
device.
Auxiliary passage
Wherever possible provide a passage dedicated
to service personnel transit (AP), which will
allow the passage of material and equipment for
the cleaning and maintenance of the area.
It will not therefore be necessary for the staff to
pass through the Metal Detector, and the
possibility of accidental blows and damage to
the detector will be avoided

Movement of luggage
In order to avoid false alarms from the metal
detector due to movement of luggage near the
archway, it is advisable to locate it at equal
distance from the beginning and end of the
conveyor belt, where the luggage is taken back
by passengers. It is also advisable to stop
passengers crowding into the entrance by
placing channelling barriers near the access
control system (WL: waiting line).

Barriers
It is recommended that the barriers be made of
insulating material (wood, glass, lexan, plastic

in insulating materials), so that any movement
due to knocks do not affect the antenna of the

CEIA Personal Effects Depository
We recommend placing a CEIA Personal
Effects Depository (OHT) between the metal
detector probe and the X-ray unit
This article acts both as a spacer between the
X-ray unit and the metal detector and as a
temporary depository for metal personal effects
which are not of dubious nature and therefore
not required to undergo X-ray analysis (coins,
keys and so on).
In this case, again, avoid direct contact between
the depository and the metal detector probe.

Visual alarm zone indication
The special feature of this model is that it indicates the height of the metal mass intercepted inside the
archway by means of the LED bar located on the transmitter antenna. In the case of an alarm, one or more
groups of the lights that make up the bar will come on to indicate the zones in which the metal masses have
been detected.
Under non-alarm conditions, a power-indicator light (continuous or blinking depending on the value of
parameter BM; see Programming section) can be seen at the top of the bar display.
The panel model has two light bars, the function of which is set by the GD parameter.

Stand-by
The standard version Metal Detector is not fitted with an
On/Off switch.
To allow deactivation of the detector without
disconnecting it from the power supply, it is fitted with a
software power switch that allows the equipment to be
placed in stand-by condition ( PW function, see also
Programming section).
In this case power consumption is reduced. The
command can also be executed in remote mode (with
metal detectors which are not connected in a network) .

The ST command, however, allows another 10 sets of parameters to be stored in memory.
These parameters are set by the user: in order to do so the operator simply programs the
apparatus for the required operational application and then activates the ST command,
assigning an identification number.
From that moment onwards the detector stores that programming set-up in memory and the
operator may retrieve it for use should the programming be modified for any reason.
Obviously, if a set of parameters is recorded under an identification number that is already
in use, the new program overwrites the previous one.
ATTENTION! If a problem occurs in the programming memory, the "PROG" message will

Installation Checks
The operating parameters of each detector are pre-selected in the factory, based on its application. In
general, installation does not cause any particular problems when the tips given in the “General Installation
Instructions” have been followed.
The final user is responsible for selecting the appropriate security level/sensitivity for their
application. After this selection has been made, and programming has been adjusted accordingly, it
is also the final user's responsibility to verify calibration using their selected test object.
Additionally, this test should be carried out periodically to insure no changes have been made to the
equipment.
There follows a guide to the sequence of operations to be followed if the Metal Detector is to operate at
maximum efficiency. After completing the detector’s mechanical installation and electrical connections, switch
it on and proceed as follows:
a) choice of optimum transmission channel (command CH ). In the case of multiple installations, follow the
instructions in the section “Installation of coupled metal detectors: synchronisation”.
b) sensitivity adjustment( command SE )
The sensitivity is pre-set in the factory according to the type of application. Generally, it is only necessary to check proper
detection of a sample supplied with the device or defined by security specifications
Procedure
• Take the metal mass considered to be the smallest sample to be detected, and make several passages
through the probe. The mass must be passed along the centre line of the archway, changing the
orientation of the sample each time.
• Carry out the test passing the sample at different heights, so as to find the sensitivity level that ensures
interception of the sample over the whole of the useful archway, as defined in the security specifications.
The correct sensitivity setting is the lowest which ensures detection of the sample at all heights and in all
orientations.
c) Specific security level (commands AU, IS and SE):
The detector is delivered pre-programmed in the AUTOSET configuration. If this configuration does not
permit detection of a reference sample defined by the customer, the sensitivity setting SE can be modified.
If a security level specified by international regulations is required, it can be selected via the IS command
(see Programming section). Thanks to CEIA Metal Detectors’ extreme consistency of performance, this
command allows adjustment of the detector to the specifications of the selected standard without having to
carry out the test procedure physically.
d) check for electrical noise. Check that activation of electrical devices around the Metal Detector does not
cause interference: the display should not show more than one asterisk in the green sector
e) check for mechanical noise. Check that the movement of metal masses around the Metal Detector (metal
structures in general, doors, furnishings, trolleys, …) does not cause interference: the display should not
show more than one asterisk in the green sector

ADVANCED PROGRAMMING: use of the password
Programming levels
Access to the programming phase may be controlled by a password or be unprotected.
There are two programming levels: the user (operator) level and the super-user (supervisor) level.
user level, accessed by entering the "user password":
• The terminal displays the " > " prompt ; in local
programming the display shows "U" on the left.
• The user can define his/her own password using the
NP function. .
• Only some of the functions are available to the user
(these are selected by the super-user using the UP
function)
super-user level, accessed by entering the
"super-user password":
• In remote programming, the terminal displays
the " # " prompt ; in local programming the
display shows "S" on the left
• All the functions are available for the superuser.
• The super-user can define his/her own
password using the NP function.
• The super-user can also decide which
functions are available for the user (see
function UP).
At each programming level, only the password relating to that same level can be modified.
The equipment is usually delivered from CEIA with a password already set for super-user level, while user
level access is unprotected.
We recommend changing the password immediately after installation
and at intervals thereafter, to prevent access to programming by
unauthorized persons.
Password definition
The password can be changed by means of the NP command, during a programming phase.

The BUSY line is used to monitor the
communication network between several Metal
Detectors; it is normally at "high" level (+5V); when
a Metal Detector effects a data transfer, the line
goes down to "low" level ( 0V ) and indicates to the
other devices that the network is busy.*

ACCESSORIES
RCU
The RCU, connected to the detector via serial line, allows remote programming. It
also provides audible and light-based alarm signalling with a bar-graph indication
proportional to the metal mass detected.
Dimensions: 217x140x75 mm.
Code: 3423
Fig. VII-2
MAIN & BATTERY SUPPLY UNIT
The MAIN & BATTERY SUPPLY UNIT is a portable device for providing power to
CEIA metal detectors in outdoor applications or in particularly difficult
environmental conditions.
The unit comprises two 12V, 7Ah batteries and a charger, and allows about 6
hours independent operation when mains power is not available. Recharging
takes place automatically when mains voltage is present.
Protection level: IP65.
Fig. VII-3
Code: MBSU-1
Personal Effects Depository
This article acts both as a spacer between the X-ray unit and the metal detector
and as a temporary depository for metal personal effects which are not of dubious
nature and therefore not required to undergo X-ray analysis (coins, keys and so
on).
Dimensions: 610 x 360 x 975 mm
Code: 18074
