• Immunity to external noise is moderate, making this program usable in most environments.
• Discrimination is good, providing the highest throughput rate.
• Recommended applications include airports, schools, courtrooms and other high volume
installations.
11.2.6 PROGRAM D
• Custom program designed to detect ferrous and conductive objects.
• Emphasis of detection is on conductive objects; this program provides a level of security that
exceeds FAA requirements.
• Discrimination is moderate to good; prevents detection signals from two or more targets from
canceling each other (masking).
• Recommended applications include airports, special events, private businesses, government
buildings, schools, courtrooms and other installations requiring the maximum possible security
in high volume operation.
11.2.7 PROGRAM E
• Custom program designed to detect ferrous and conductive objects.
• Emphasis of detection is on conductive objects.
• Immunity to external noise is moderate, making this program viable in most environments.
• Discrimination is moderate to good.
• Recommended applications include loss prevention.
11.2.8 RECOMMENDED PROGRAMS
NOTE: These are only recommended programs. It is the End User’s responsibility to test and verify that
the selected program meets their security plan objective.
