3. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
3.1 SITE SELECTION
The Garrett CS 5000 should be located on a level, stable floor with no large metal items within three
(3) feet. Any nearby large metallic object can interfere with operation of the detector. Moving metallic
objects, such as an escalator or revolving door, close to the detector can cause false alarms. Such
alarms can also be caused by electrical interference from radio telephones, television monitors, power-
ful electronic motors and transformers, power cables and control circuits.
Garrett’s special built-in circuitry is designed to suppress much of this electronic noise, especially X-
ray monitor horizontal synchronization signals and closed circuit television. Multiple frequencies permit
several CS 5000 units to operate simultaneously, in close proximity.
For information concerning the operation of multiple units, see Section 11.3.

i.e. space for waiting lines, operators and areas for hand-scanning. Although the detector is effective
with traffic moving in either direction, best results are obtained when traffic enters from the side oppo-
site to the control touchpads and LCD display.
Locate the archway where it will not be subject to rain, mist or condensation. Protect the power cable
from pedestrian as well as vehicular traffic.
