5. INSTALLATION SITE
When planning the installation site of the Metor 6M there are a few important
things that should be considered. The optimum operation of the WTMD as well as
maximum traffic flow at the security checkpoint can be ensured only when these
factors have been taken into account.
Installation recommendations
It is important to minimize the effect of different sources of interference that may
have an influence on the operation of the WTMD. The following recommendations
should be considered when selecting the installation site.
Static metal
Large static or stationary metal objects
should be at least 20 cm (8 in) away from
the WTMD. The effect on sensitivity is small
but may make the WTMD more prone to
the effects of vibration.
Floor vibration
The floor should be even and solidly
supported to prevent vibration. Especially
when there are vibrating metal
constructions beneath the floor, people
walking through the WTMD can cause
unnecessary alarms.
Moving metal objects
Large moving metal objects outside the
WTMD should be kept 0.5 - 2 m (20 - 79 in)
away from the WTMD to avoid false alarms.
The required distance between the moving
metal and the WTMD may vary depending
on the size of the metal object.
