Side-by-side operation
Side-by-side operation means that two or more metal detectors operate close to
each other. When operated side-by-side, WTMDs (Walk Through Metal Detectors)
may interfere with each other to some extent. The level of interference depends on
the distance between the WTMDs, their operating frequency and sensitivity. Metor
6M has ten different operating frequencies. All the operating frequencies are
suitable for side-by-side use.
Installation
• Install WTMDs as illustrated in the figure.
• In order to reach the minimum side-by-
side distance place two Rx panels or Tx
panels closests to each other. (If possible
install Rx panels closests to each other
and maximise the distance between Tx
panels.)
• Install the Tx panel closer to the possible
interference source.
• Use frequency combination which gives
the lowest interference level.
NOTICE
Side-by-side operating distances depend on the sensitivity level and frequency
combinations used. The minimum operating distances are determined in each case
separately at the installation site.
