ATMS

Part 1: Station Setup
3. When visitors step up to the ATMS, they
need to follow the on-screen instructions and
stay 1.97” to 2.75” (5 to 7 cm) away from the
thermometer sensor, stand still, and wait for 1
second. The measurement is completed after
the beep.
Helpful Information
• The ATMS measurement is designed to be used
indoors. Avoid direct sunlight and windy areas
as dust will cause inaccurate results.
• If the user has just come from either a freezing
or a hot environment, a break is advised before
measuring your body temperature.
This portion of the guide will walk through setting
up the automatic temperature measuring station. For
step by step instruction on setting up the stand itself,
please refer to the user guide.
Measuring Station
1. Place the ATMS stand in a proper location and
lock the latches of the wheel. The senor head
should be angled directly toward the forehead
and vertical to the ground. Be careful not to
touch the buttons of the thermometer.
2. Please adjust the thermometer to a proper
height to suit the needs of your facility. Once
the height of the ATMS is set, DO NOT adjust
the conduit and spring clamp again. The
recommended height is 5 feet (around 150
cm).

Part 3: ATMS Cloud Overview

What if someone is too tall or too short and they
touch the station?
We suggest adjusting and setting the thermometer
at a lower height so that taller people can squat or
bend their knees during a temperature scan. Another
approach is to set up two stations to accommodate
different height ranges: one adjusted at a higher
height and one at a lower height. We also suggest
sanitizing the easily accessible places regularly in
case a person does make their own adjustments.
Are the instructions for the public to see or should
someone be manning the ATMS?
An instruction board is attached to the ATMS.
Additionally, instructions like “Stay closer/Stay still”
will appear on the screen. There is no need to assign
someone to survey the devices; however, there
should be someone nearby to guide anyone with
higher readings.
At what temperature will the alarm go off?
The default temperature for the alarm is set at 99.5°
F and above. You can reset the threshold in the
settings, but please be sure to assign a proper value
suitable to your environment.
May I turn off the photo function?
Yes, you can turn off the photo function in settings.
FAQ - Setting
What are the best practice for implementing the
ATMS?
The ATMS is designed to be placed at entrances
indoors. Although outdoor placement is possible,
the system would need to be placed in the shade,
such as under a tent, so the thermometer and iPad
are not in direct sunlight or rain. We recommend
marking the measurement waiting areas with yellow
tape to clearly guide users on maintaining social
distancing standards.
What is the estimated set up time?
Stand assembly takes approximately 30 minutes
while the iFORA TM app configuration takes less
than 10 minutes if the Wi-Fi connection is ready.
What should I pay attention to when setting up the
ATMS?
• Angle the thermometer sensor toward the
forehead (vertical to the ground).
• After powering on the iPad, allow 8 seconds for
calibration.
• Keep the area in front of the thermometer clear
from heat, light, or windy sources.
• We recommend marking the standing position
on the ground to guide users on maintaining the
proper distance with the thermometer.
How much space does the station require?
Approximately 4 square feet and 5’5” height.

Where is the lens area for the portrait? How do I
instruct users?
The camera is built in to the iPad. Users should look
straight ahead and relax while the photo is taken.
What do I do if I cannot get a reading?
If you cannot get the reading on the screen, please
make sure:
• The Bluetooth icon is a blue color. If not, check
the connection with the thermometer. The
thermometer might be off or have a low battery.
• The environmental temperature is not too
high (more than 89.6° F). Avoid direct heat
and sunlight projecting onto the thermometer.
Additionally, a windy entrance might cause the
sensor to fail.
• You take a break before measuring your body
temperature if you’ve just come from either a
freezing or a hot environment.
• You step back and move forward again if the
iPad cannot display a reading after 6 seconds.
Why does my temperature fluctuate if I take a
measurement several times?
The angle and the distance between the
thermometer and the forehead are the main reasons.
Please make sure the thermometer’s sensor is
angled toward the forehead (vertical to the ground)
and the user stands still approximately 1.97 to 2.75
inches in front of the thermometer.
FAQ - MeasurementFAQ - Device
What’s the proper way to take a measurement?
Aim the forehead thermometer at the center of the
forehead, approximately 1.97 to 2.75 inches away
from the skin. You will hear a beep and the message
“Stand Still during Measurement” will be displayed
on your iPad.
How long will the IR42b battery last?
The two AAA batteries provided with the IR42b will
last approximately 160 hours (around 20 days, 8
hours per day).
How do I know if my device has a low battery?
The iFORA TM app will notify the user of a low
battery using a pop-up message. The lifespan
of your battery will vary considerably with how
it is used, how it is maintained and charged,
temperature, and other factors such as frequency of
testing. The forehead thermometer comes with two
1.5V AAA alkaline batteries and the iPad comes with
a lithium battery.
What do I do if I receive the error message “The
thermometer’s authorization period has expired”?
This error message indicates that the thermometer
is not authorized properly or authorization has
expired. First, check if the Bluetooth connection
is secure and pair it again if the connection was
lost. If the error message persists, please contact
ForaCare at 1-888-307-8188.

Will ATMS Cloud be expected to interface with any of
our systems?
No, not at the moment. However, we might open the API
for data retrieval in the future.
How will we use the logs and photos?
You may set an email notification for readings over the
threshold. The records on the cloud provide traceability,
if necessary.
Where is the ATMS Cloud hosted?
In the U.S.
How can we access the data?
You’ll receive an authorized account on the cloud to
review the readings and portraits.
Is the data going to FORA’s cloud?
Yes, the data will upload to the ATMS Cloud. However,
you can turn off this option in the iFORA TM app
settings.
How can I set up an email account to receive alert
notifications?
Please click the configuration icon at the upper right
side of the cloud interface. You will be guided to
input the email address and temperature level for
notifications.
FAQ - CloudFAQ - iPad & App
How long will the iPad battery sustain?
If the brightness auto adjustment turned on, the
iPad will last at least 8 hours. Please power off the
iPad (not just screen saving) when not in use. The
thermometer will be automatically off after the iPad
is turned off. Charge your iPad when necessary.
Will the iPad need to connect to the wireless
network?
Yes, a Wi-Fi connection is necessary for the
authentication on first use, data uploads, and any
iFORA TM app upgrades.
Are there specific URLs or ports we need to open
on our firewall?
You need to open port 80, 443, 1640, and 5223 in
order to get a connection to the ATMS cloud and
app upgrade services.
What can I do if the App would react abnormally or
crash suddenly?
Please make sure if the APP (iFORA TM) is the latest
updated version. If not, please update it and try
again. If the problem persists, report to customer
service with the iOS and APP version. Provide
customer service the detailed description on the
procedure causing the abnormal situation.
