•Read this manual carefully before installing, operating or
carrying out maintenance on the device. Keep this booklet in
a safe place for future reference.
•Follow the instructions contained in this manual for all
operations relating to installation, use and maintenance of the
device. CEIA cannot be held responsible for any damage
resulting from procedures which are not expressly indicated in
this manual.
•The final user is responsible for selecting the appropriate
security level/sensitivity for their application. After this
selection has been made, and programming has been
adjusted accordingly, it is also the final user's
responsibility to verify calibration using the test object(s)
appropriate to the level of security selected. Additionally,
this test should be carried out periodically to insure no
changes have occurred in the equipment.
•Whenever there is any suggestion that the level of protection
has been reduced, the device should be taken out of service
and secured against any possibility of unintentional use, and
authorised service technicians should be called.
The level of protection is considered to have been reduced
when:
- the device shows visible signs of deterioration;
- the device does not operate correctly;
- the device has been stored for a long period in sub-optimal
conditions;
- the device has suffered severe stress during transport;
- the inside of the device has come into contact with liquids.
•Choose the installation site carefully. Avoid placing the device
in locations where it may be directly exposed to sunlight, in
unventilated areas or in places that are close to sources of
heat. In addition, avoid places that are subject to vibrations,
dust, humidity, rain and excessively high or low
temperatures.
•Installation must be carried out by qualified personnel. Given
the dimensions of the device, it is requested that the
installation site be kept clear while work is carried out to
facilitate setting it up and to avoid any harm to third parties.
•Position the device as far away as possible from sources of
electromagnetic interference such as transformers or motors.
•When installation is completed, the detector must be
anchored to the ground in a stable manner and not subject to
vibrations (use expansion screws inserted through the
anchoring holes in the base of the panels). All connecting
cables between the gateway and the power supply or other
external devices must be properly fixed and protected so as to
achieve the best performance from the detector and avoid
accidental injury to people who might trip over them.
•Handle the device with care and without excessive force
during installation, use and maintenance
•Before powering up the device, check that the mains power
supply voltage corresponds to the voltage shown on the
device's electrical specifications plaque. The use of a
different mains voltage may damage the equipment!
The device should be connected to the mains voltage only
after all the connections required for full installation have been
carried out.
•The device must be connected to a power supply circuit fitted
with a switch or other device which allows the power to be cut
off.
•If the device is to be powered via an external autotransformer
to regulate the voltage, ensure that the common terminal of
the autotransformer is connected to the neutral of the power-
supply circuit.
•The power-supply plug must only be inserted into a socket
fitted with an earth/ground connection.
Any break in the safety conductor, either inside or outside the
device, or disconnection of the earth/ground safety terminal,
will render the device dangerous. Intentional cutting or
disconnection is strictly forbidden.
•Always remove the plug by hand when disconnecting the
power supply cable, never by pulling on the cable.
•The standard power-supply adapter is not waterproof: place it
in a ventilated position where it is protected from water (rain,
condensation, liquid detergents)! There is a risk of electric
shocks for people and damage to the equipment!
•This device contains electrical and electronic components,
and may therefore be susceptible to fire. Do not install in
explosive atmosphere or in contact with inflammable material.
Do not use water or foam in the case of fire when the device
is powered up.
•To prevent damage by lightning, disconnect the power supply
cable during thunderstorms.
•Do not use in an explosive atmosphere. Avoid contact with
inflammable or explosive material.
•Carry out the periodic maintenance regularly (see section on
Maintenance). Do not wash the device with water, liquid
detergents or chemical substances. Use a slightly moist, non-
abrasive cloth for cleaning.
•The device must be disconnected from all power sources
before undergoing any maintenance or cleaning, and before
being moved.
•Read the chapter on “Maintenance” carefully before calling
the service centre.
Whatever the problem, only specialised service personnel
authorised to work with CEIA equipment should be called.
•Any damaged parts of the device should be replaced by
original components only.
•Any maintenance or repair involving the device being opened

I - DESCRIPTION
Operating Principle
In general, a modern Metal Detector for checking people in transit comprises:
• An electronics unit, made up of:
• a variable magnetic field
generator
• a receiver
• a processing and control unit,
which determines if the variation
of the received signal is due to
metal masses in transit of a
certain shape, volume or
composition
• a transceiver antenna in the
form of an archway

SOME HELPFUL GUIDELINES FOR METAL DETECTORS
The parameters which best characterise a Metal Detector are as
follows
• Discrimination:This parameter reflects the variation in
sensitivity between potentially dangerous metal objects (due to
their particular shape compared with their volume) and personal
effects (such as coins, keys, watches, buckles, etc...). When a
detector with low discrimination is used, personal effects can
cause a large number of false alarms, rendering the system
ineffective in practical terms.
• Uniformity in detection efficiency: This parameter is closely
connected with the linearity of the magnetic field generated
inside the Metal Detector. Generally speaking, the greater the
uniformity, the better the discrimination.
• Sensitivity: alarm activation threshold: the greater the
sensitivity, the smaller the metal mass which will cause an
alarm.
• Interception speed: the transit speed of a person through the
metal detector archway usually depends on situational factors,
and can vary considerably. The sensitivity of a good Metal
Detector should be independent of the speed of transit.
• Programming: C.E.I.A. have designed their Metal Detectors to
include the possibility of selecting the settings of the operational
parameters: this predisposition facilitates both the installation of
the device (rejection of external sources of interference) and
adaptation to the user’s requirements (orientation towards
ferromagnetic and/or non-magnetic metals). This feature is
particularly important in the detection of weapons made of light
metal.
• Immunity to interference: environmental electromagnetic
interference of mechanical or electrical origin is the principal
cause of false alarms, because it augments the effective signal
of the mass to be detected. Particular attention must therefore
be paid to the Metal Detector’s immunity to this type of
interference.
• Harmlessness to life support systems and storage media: the
field emitted by the Metal Detector should be below the values
set by international standards which guarantee harmlessness
to life support systems such as pace-makers, adrenaline
pumps etc. Observance of these limits also means that there
is no effect whatsoever on computer-type storage media.
• Synchronisation: multiple installations of Metal Detectors are
very common (just think of an airport departure terminal). To
allow several Metal Detectors to operate in a restricted area
without influencing each other, it must be possible to
synchronise them without the help of cable connections.
• Power supply flexibility: wide tolerance range for the input
voltage and emergency batteries which cut in automatically
ensure that the Metal Detector continues operating in the case
of variations or cuts in the mains supply.
• Set-up and calibration with respect to the reference sample: a
modern Metal Detector must allow its installation in whatever
environment, without any interference caused by other
external devices. The security level may usually be adjusted
acting on sensitivity: CEIA’s Metal Detectors are also provided
with a special command (IS) allowing the direct selection of
the functioning parameters which determine a security level
conforming to the International Standards.
• Maintenance: a modern Metal Detector generally incorporates
a self-diagnosis system which identifies any sabotage and
which also signals accidental faults. Modular construction
furthermore allows the faulty parts to be replaced quickly and
easily, thereby minimising the time the device is out of
operation.

Construction of the Metal Detector
CEIA Metal Detectors are made up of an electronics unit and an archway antenna; the connection between
the two is via two cables (one for the transmitter and one for the receiver ).
Electronics Unit
The electronics unit, which is extremely compact, is available in an shock-resistant plastic casing, with
protection grade IP20, or in a tight metal container, with protection grade P55 (for the outdoor model).
Both casings are designed to be attached directly to the crossbar of the archway.

Positioning
Transit requirements
The Metal Detector will be positioned, according to the requirements dictated by the transit, in such a way as
to allow the maximum flow of people and observance of the rules for installation.
See notes on the following pages for correct positioning.
Minimum distances - Electrical and mechanical compatibility
General Rules:
- avoid movement of significant metal masses less than 70 cm from the Metal Detector antenna;
- avoid the presence of electric lines and electrical devices less than 30 cm from the metal detector probe,
especially the receiver section (RX).
- move electrical/electronic devices (e.g. motors or switching power supplies) in general away from the
metal detector probe, especially the receiver section (RX): the distance depends on the type and power
of the device.
IMPORTANT!
The distances mentioned are indicative only:
The amount of interference should be assessed at the time of installation (see paragraph “Installation
Check”).
---- …*no signal or one green asterisk: interference acceptable!
Fixing the antenna to the ground
To fix the antenna to the ground
screw the expansion screws (vf)
into the floor through the holes
provided in the base flanges.
Carefully check the
perpendicularity and alignment of
the transmitter and receiver
sections, ensuring that they are
anchored at the right distance

Stability
To operate properly the antenna should not be subject to shocks or movements. Follow the installation
instructions and ensure that the Metal Detector probe is stable and anchored firmly to the ground using screws
or silicone. Check the rigidity of the floor; in particular, avoid installation on:
•
Wood floors
•
"technical"-type floors, as these generally do not rest on surfaces which guarantee stability over their whole
area.
Holes
It is strictly forbidden to make holes in the Metal Detector antenna or to insert screws in positions, or of lengths,
not expressly indicated by CEIA. Damage due to such actions is not covered by the product warranty.

The following notes refer to an airport departure
terminal equipped with an X-ray unit for
personal effects and a metal detector to
intercept any weapons carried by passengers.
Siting of the devices
Care must be taken in the siting of the
devices to avoid electromagnetic interference.
The RX antenna of the MD metal detector
should ideally be located as far as possible from
the monitor (MO) and conveyor belt of the X-ray
inspection device (XR).
Site the transmitter antenna (TX), recognisable
by its power-supply connector, next to this
device.
AP
Auxiliary passage
Wherever possible provide a passage dedicated
to service personnel transit (AP), which will
allow the passage of material and equipment for
the cleaning and maintenance of the area.
It will not therefore be necessary for the staff to
pass through the Metal Detector, and the
possibility of accidental blows and damage to
the detector will be avoided

Movement of luggage
In order to avoid false alarms from the metal
detector due to movement of luggage near the
archway, it is advisable to locate it at equal
distance from the beginning and end of the
conveyor belt, where the luggage is taken back
by passengers. It is also advisable to stop
passengers crowding into the entrance by
placing channelling barriers near the access
control system (WL: waiting line).

Barriers
It is recommended that the barriers be made of
insulating material (wood, glass, lexan, plastic
panelling, cordons, architectural embellishments
in insulating materials), so that any movement
due to knocks do not affect the antenna of the
metal detector.
For the same reason, avoid direct contact
between the barriers and the probe of the metal
detector.

CEIA Personal Effects Depository
We recommend placing a CEIA Personal
Effects Depository (OHT) between the metal

This article acts both as a spacer between the
X-ray unit and the metal detector and as a
temporary depository for metal personal effects
which are not of dubious nature and therefore
not required to undergo X-ray analysis (coins,
keys and so on).
In this case, again, avoid direct contact between
the depository and the metal detector probe.

Installation of coupled metal detectors - synchronisation
When two or more Metal Detectors are to operate near each other (generally within 10 meters), they must be
synchronised by choosing an appropriate transmission channel for each one (CH function).
1. Follow precisely the arrangement of the TX and RX antennas and the minimum distances indicated. The
TX antenna can be recognised by the power supply connector.
2. Select the 0 setting for the NL function.

Visual alarm zone indication
The special feature of this model is that it indicates the height of the metal mass intercepted inside the
archway by means of the LED bar located on the transmitter antenna. In the case of an alarm, one or more
groups of the lights that make up the bar will come on to indicate the zones in which the metal masses have
been detected.
Under non-alarm conditions, a power-indicator light (continuous or blinking depending on the value of
parameter BM; see Programming section) can be seen at the top of the bar display.
The panel model has two light bars, the function of which is set by the GD parameter.

metal mass Fig. III-6b - alarm indication for two metal masses Fig. III-6c -power indicator
Three choices of operating mode, floating (standard), 4 fixed zones and 8 fixed zones can also be chosen
using the ZN function (see Programming section).
Fig. III-6d - 4-zone operation
(ZN=4): when a metal mass is
detected, one of 4 distinct
zones, each of fixed height and
position, lights up.
Fig. III-6e - 8-zone operation
(ZN=8): when a metal mass is
detected, one of 8 distinct
zones, each of fixed height and
position, lights up.
In fixed-height zone operation, the alarm threshold can
be adjusted individually for each zone using the
settings Z1...Z4 or Z1...Z8 (see Programming section).
Fig. III-6f - Floating-zone operation (ZN=FLOA):. a group of
LEDs lights up at the height of transit of the metal mass (20
different zones of variable height and position).
