1.3.2 DESCRIPTION OF AUDIO RESPONSES

1.3.2.1 TARGET ALARMS

The steady single pitch audio alarm indicates that a target has been identified
according to the program and sensitivity settings.

1.3.2.2 WARBLE ALARM

A quickly alternating two-tone alarm occurs when a large metal object, such
as a wheelchair, piece of furniture, or metal container, moves through or near
the PD 6500i and overloads the detector’s circuits. The warble sound prompts
the operator to correct the situation before allowing anyone to pass through
the metal detector.

1.3.2.3 TAMPER ALARM

When the ACCESS touchpad is pressed, the detector beeps for about ten
seconds until a valid user is selected and a numeric access code is entered.
If a person or object passes through the archway during this time, a loud
low-toned alarm will activate. If an invalid code is entered, the message:
ACCESS DENIED appears on the LCD, and the same audible
tamper alarm sounds and normal operation resumes. The tamper alarm may
be set to block access after three unsuccessful attempts have been made for
a user. The entry of an access code for next level of security is required in
order for operation to resume.

Each access attempt is indicated by an increase in the sequence code as
reported on the LCD. Any unauthorized access attempt that activates the
tamper alarm is indicated by an asterisk (*) which remains until the system is
successfully accessed.

2. INSTALLATION

2.1 SITE SELECTION & REQUIREMENTS

Before choosing a site for the PD 6500i Walk-Through Metal Detector, it is
important to consider the volume and throughput requirements of patron
traffic, space availability and overall environmental conditions. In all cases, the
PD 6500i must be installed on a level, stable floor. The following site require­ments are provided as guidelines to a successful installation.

Garrett Metal Detectors (Garrett) has years of experience designing, installing
and operating security screening checkpoints. Garrett's experience ranges
from very small, one and two detector checkpoints, to very large, 900 detector
Olympic operations. Garrett always prefers to work closely with its clients
when designing checkpoints. Every client has a unique situation and needs a
somewhat customized solution. Garrett is happy to assist in designing and
implementing these solutions. This section is intended to provide general
information for designing security screening checkpoints.

2.1.1 ELECTRICAL POWER

Electricity is a critical element for successful, trouble free, installations. Garrett
metal detectors require 100-240 Volt, 50/60 Hertz power, and draw less than
1 ampere each. Consequently, "power load" is minimal for any group of
detectors. Garrett detectors operate using an innovative "pulse induction"
technology.

This technology demands that all detectors within 25' to 100' of each other
depending on sensitivity setting, be connected to the same single phase,
single source of power.

This can be easily accomplished using power cords if existing power does not,
or cannot, meet this requirement.

Garrett metal detectors are very versatile and can be connected to power from
either their top or bottom of either side. This makes connecting power very
convenient and gives the user more options when designing their sites. When
"running" power along the ground it is recommended that cords be secured to
the ground using highly visible industrial tape or cable trays. This ensures that
the cord is visible to patron traffic and prevents personal injury as well as
equipment damage. When "running" power overhead it is recommended that
power cords be suspended above the detector. This keeps the cord
accessible for maintenance, but out of reach of regular traffic.

2.1.2 PHYSICAL SITE

Appropriate selection and preparation of a site is paramount for successful,
efficient and effective checkpoint screening operations. The site should be flat,
level and free from obstructions. The surface should be solid and free from
any vibration or movement. Most indoor surfaces are already adequate.
Outdoor surfaces should be asphalt or concrete, wooden platforms can NOT
be used. The site should be free from running or standing water and should
provide protection from weather elements. An industrial, four-walled tent is the
best way to provide shelter from the weather elements when outdoors. The
tent must be strong enough to repel rain, snow, sleet and a fair amount
of wind.

2.1.3 SPACING AND CONFIGURATION

A site must also allow for efficient spacing and configuration of metal
detectors. If a site is too small the operation of the checkpoint becomes
"choked" and "bottlenecks" form. This severely hampers the flow of "traffic"
through a checkpoint and can be troublesome when trying to operate within
time constraints. If a site is too big it becomes difficult to oversee the
checkpoint, and valuable space is wasted. As a general rule a rectangular
block of space 8’ wide and at least 10’ deep should be reserved for every
detector. There are many ways to arrange detectors at a checkpoint; Garrett
has found two configurations, which work the best. Please refer to the
attached drawings.
