1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Garrett Magnascanner CS 5000 is a high-quality microprocessor-based walk-
through metal detector that provides superior metal discrimination and detection. It fea-
tures a DSP(Digital Signal Processor) that automatically suppresses or eliminates elec-
trical interference associated with x-ray devices, video monitors and communications
equipment, helping to reduce the likelihood of nuisance alarms and ultimately improving
traffic throughput. The Magnascanner CS 5000 offers a diverse range of programs to
meet your security needs. The detector is highly portable and can be operated by
remote console or a battery pack as needed.
A bright, highly visible LED (Light Emitting Diode) bar graph and lights indicating ready
and alarm conditions make it easy for the operator to interpret operating information.
Pacing lights located on side panels of the entrance side indicate whether or not a
patron may enter the walk-through. Pinpoint lights, located on the side panels of the
exit side, comprise 11 distinct pinpoint arrays that help the operator identify the precise
location of a metal object whether it is on the left, right or in the center of the body, or
from head to toe.
The LCD, located in the overhead panel and backlit for easy viewing, reports calibration
and operational information, including program and base sensitivity settings, operator
functions and fault indications. The LCD also provides information on instructions and
control functions, as well as a handy traffic count.
A convenient dual access code system protects calibration settings and eliminates the
need for keys to storage compartments. Calibration settings are further protected by a
non-resettable sequence code that enables the supervisor to monitor any changes
successful or otherwise that are made to the set up or program and base sensitivity.
In addition, a tamper alarm reports any unauthorized access attempts. An automatic
self test begins each time the OPERATE touchpad is pressed. In addition, fail safe,
self-testing circuitry provides information on operational interferences.
Other features of the Magnascanner MS 5000 include superior sensitivity, stability and
noise rejection. All of the electronics are built into the overhead panel, thereby eliminat-
ing the problems often associated with a cable-connected console.

2. CONTROLS & MODULES
2.1. DISPLAY PANEL
2.1.1. LED BAR GRAPH
This LED display at the top of the Control Panel indicates the detection intensity which
is based on the amount and composition of metallic objects passing through the unit.
2.1.2. READY LIGHT
This green light appears when full power has been turned on and the unit is ready to
operate. The light will also indicate when an individual inspection has been completed
by the unit and it is ready to accept the next person. Operators should make certain the
green light is visible before any individual is permitted to pass through the detector.
2.1.3. LCD PANEL
Large alpha/numeric LCD below the Bar Graph reports all operating, setup and diag-
nostic information of the unit. Because the unit is designed to be user-friendly, all reg-
ulation and control functions are self-prompting with necessary commands shown on
the LCD display.
2.1.4. ALARM LIGHT
This red light appears when the unit detects a targeted amount of metal on an individ-
ual, according to specifications of the Program and Sensitivity levels that have been
selected. Operators should be instructed to respond to all alarms. For any detector to
be effective in a security system it is absolutely necessary that the cause of EVERY
ALARM be determined.
3

2.2. TOUCHPADS
Eight touchpads on the overhead Control Panel perform all control functions:
2.2.1. STANDBY
When this touchpad is pressed, the unit goes into a low power mode, ready to be
returned to full operation when the OPERATE pad is touched. When STANDBY is dis-
played on the LCD, the green READY light is not visible and no processing can take
place in the unit. It is important to remember that the Power Switch located on the
Battery Back-up Module (See Page 42) should be set to its OFF position anytime the
system is being stored and anytime the system is not in use and is not connected to
AC power for more than 24 hours.
2.2.2. OPERATE
Whenever this touchpad is pressed, the Magnascanner CS 5000 activates all circuits,
initiates a self-diagnosis program and places the unit in the Operate Mode within fifteen
(15) seconds. This diagnostic program for instant fault detection can be activated at any
time by touching this OPERATE pad. If any faults are ever found, they will be immedi-
ately reported on the LCD display. (See Page 10.)
2.2.3. COUNTER
When this touchpad is pressed, the traffic count is displayed on the LCD display.
Pressing and holding this touchpad for ten (10) seconds causes the counter to return to
zero (0). Whenever the LCD is displaying information other than the current traffic
count, pressing this touchpad will cause the count to appear along with the Sequence
Number of changes that have been made to Program/Sensitivity settings. CT (Number)
and SEQ (Number) will appear. Each time the Program/Sensitivity Mode is accessed,
the Sequence Code that appears on the LCD will be advanced one number. It is rec-
ommended that a written notation be made on the Operations Worksheet (see
Page 34) whenever this code is accessed, explaining reasons for the access. If the
ACCESS touchpad has been pressed and an improper access code has been entered,
a * will appear before the sequence number (SEQ *37). This indicates that an unsuc-
cessful (unauthorized) attempt has been made to gain access to the
Program/Sensitivity setting.

2.2.4. VOLUME
When this touchpad is pressed, the volume level of the unit s audible alarm will be
shown on the LCD display and the actual volume of the alarm will be heard. The +and
-touchpads can be used by operators to raise or lower the volume. They should then
press OPERATE to return to the operate mode.
2.2.5. + AND -
These touchpads will be used to increase or decrease various numerical settings and
for certain On/Off functions.
2.2.6. PROGRAM
When this touchpad is pressed, the settings for Program and Sensitivity will appear on
the LCD display.
2.2.7. ACCESS
The ACCESS touchpad will be used only by supervisory management personnel. It
permits changing the Program and Sensitivity codes and also is used to control such
functions as synchronization of multiple units, pulse frequency, tone, etc. (See Page
12). The unit further protects security of control settings by maintaining a non-resettable
sequence code that indicates any attempt at seeking access to the settings. When this
touchpad is pressed, audio of the system will chirp and ENTER CODE will be dis-
played on the LCD, prompting the operator to enter an access code. If no attempt is
made to enter a code, the unit will continue chirping for ten (10) seconds and return to
Operate Mode. If the operator enters an incorrect code, audio will sound a Tamper
Alarm and ACCESS DEN ED will appear on the LCD for five (5) seconds. An asterisk
(*) will appear on the Sequence Counter indicating that an unsuccessful attempt has
been made to access the Installation or Program/Sensitivity Modes of the unit.
Operators should never touch this control.
If an operator should inadvertently press the ACCESS touchpad, no further action
should be taken and the unit will return automatically to the Operate Mode in about ten
(10) seconds.
Special Note
The above touchpad functions will be available to operators of the detector at all times.
Additional functions such as program and sensitivity settings and other adjustments neces-
sary only at installation time may be selected by pressing the ACCESS touchpad and enter-
ing a security code.

This switch need be placed in the OFF position only during storage or when the unit is
not being used and is not connected to AC power for more than 24 hours. See Page 42
for installation instructions.
3. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
3.1. SITE SELECTION
The Garrett Magnascanner CS 5000 should be located on a level, stable floor with no
large metal items within three (3) feet. Any nearby large metallic object can interfere
with operation of the detector. Moving metallic objects, such as an escalator or revolv-
ing door, close to the detector can cause false alarms. Such alarms can also be caused
by electrical interference from radio telephones, television monitors, powerful electronic
motors and transformers, power cables and control circuits.
Garrett s special built-in circuitry is designed to suppress much of this electronic noise,
especially X-ray monitor horizontal synchronization signals and closed circuit television.
Multiple frequencies permit several Magnascanner units to operate simultaneously, in
close proximity.
For information concerning the operation of multiple units, see Page 38.
The site for a Magnascanner CS 5000 should be selected with requirements for its
pedestrian traffic and use in mind; i.e. space for waiting lines, operators and areas for
hand-scanning. Although the detector is effective with traffic moving in either direction,
best results are obtained when traffic enters from the side opposite to the control touch-
pads and LCD display.
Locate the archway where it will not be subject to rain, mist or condensation. Protect
the power cable from pedestrian as well as vehicular traffic.

4. SELF-DIAGNOSTIC TESTS
The Garrett Magnascanner CS 5000 LCD panel provides valuable information concern-
ing the operation of this unit and the self-diagnostic program of which it is capable.
4.1. OPERATING INFORMATION
When the unit is placed into operation from the Standby Mode, the following informa-
tion is reported:
1. Serial Number of the unit will be displayed.
2. Software Version of the unit will be displayed.
3. 50 Hz or 60 Hz will be displayed, indicating current status, if the unit is connected
to power line AC.
4. MASTER or SLAVE will be displayed, indicating current status.
5. CHANNEL designation will be displayed, indicating current status.
6. Program and Sensitivity levels (PROG SENS 160 will be displayed initially), indi-
cating current status.
4.1.1. SELF-TEST INFORMATION
After the sequence listed above is completed, as well as any time the system power is
connected or any time the OPERATE SELF-TEST touchpad is pressed, a system self-
test procedure will be performed. The following information will be displayed on the
Display Panel, as necessary. SELF-TEST will be displayed as the unit tests itself auto-
matically. f any of the following six errors are detected, they will be displayed as
shown below:
Example: SELF-TEST...3..4 ( ndicates that both Error 3 and Error 4 are occurring.)
4.1.2. CORRECTIVE ACTIONS
4.1.2.1. Error 1: Power failure
Check line voltage and externally connected devices.
4.1.2.2. Error 2: IR Emitter failure

If an error occurs, follow the procedures noted above and press OPERATE to retest.
You will be prompted SELF-TEST OK when all functions are correct. If problems contin-
ue to occur, consult with your supervisor or factory representative.
The self-diagnostic/reporting cycle described above will be carried out automatically by
the unit any time the OPERATE touchpad is pressed.
4.1.3. FATAL ERRORS
The system periodically performs several of the tests described above. Because Errors
1,4 and 5 severely limit or prohibit acceptable performance of the Magnascanner, they
are considered Fatal Errors.
If a fatal error is encountered because of component failure, broken wire, etc., the audi-
ble alarm will sound and the LED display will begin to flash. To remedy the situation,
press the OPERATE touchpad, which will initiate the self-diagnostic routine. Note the
error(s) that will appear on the LED and follow instructions stated above. If a solution is
not obvious, it will be necessary to follow the repair procedure described on Page 22.
4.1.4. NON-FATAL ERRORS
Errors 2, 3, and 6 may also occur. Since these failures do not limit the system s detec-
tion capabilities, the unit will continue to operate. Although the equipment is usable, it
is important to identify and correct all problems as soon as possible in order to maintain
full performance capabilities.
Another error indication is that of a warbling audio when a person is in the archway (or,
for an extended time if the IR Analysis is switched off). This sound indicates that a
large metallic object, such as a wheelchair, stroller, or very large hand-carried object,
has overloaded the equipment to a degree that it cannot function accurately. If this
sound is heard, the operator should see that the problem object is moved away, and
the person being inspected should be required to pass through the archway again after
the green READY light appears.

5. INSTALLATION ADJUSTMENTS
The Installation Adjustment Mode, which can be accessed only through use of a four-
digit code (Access Code #2), permits the Magnascanner CS 000 to be set up properly
for best performance in a given operational environment. Various options permit setting
the unit for proper operation in conjunction with other walk-through units or for dealing
with typical operation problems.
Default settings, preset at the factory, are indicated below for each of the functions in
this mode. Use the +or touchpads to regulate any of the functions.
To access the Installation Adjustment Mode for the first time, press the ACCESS touch-
pad and enter the factory preset code of 5678. Functions to be set will be displayed in
the following sequence: Pressing ACCESS will scroll through these selections:
5.1. RECEIVER BALANCE
RX BALANCE will be displayed, indicating the balance of the receiving antenna. A
number less than 50 is acceptable. If the number is greater, check the areas around
the detector for large metal objects. If such objects are found, either move the object(s)
or move the detector to eliminate a potential problem.
Press ACCESS for next adjustment or OPERATE to return to normal operation.
5.2. TONE
The alarm tone is initially set at a median level. Through use of the +and touchpads
the tone level can be raised or lowered. A corresponding number ( to 9 ) will be dis-
played on the LCD panel and the tone that has been selected will be heard. When the
desired tone is reached, press ACCESS to select the next adjustment or press OPER-
ATE to return to normal operation.
5.3. SYNCHRONIZATION
Preset factory option is MASTER. See Multiple Unit Operation on Page 38 for direc-
tions on proper use of this option when it is necessary.
MASTER enables the unit to operate on its own internally generated synchronization
from the power line.
SLAVE synchronizes the unit to the signal received from another Magnascanner on
the Sync terminal (on the lower center of the Controller Circuit Board).
Press ACCESS for next adjustment or OPERATE to return to normal operation.
5.4. CHANNEL
This feature will allow multiple units to operate in close proximity. It is recommended
that when two (2) units are operated in close proximity that Channels A and B are used.
If three (3) or more units are operated in close proximity, use Channels A, C and D.

¥ACCESS CODE # will again be 1234 and ACCESS CODE #2 will be 5678.
6. SUPERVISOR ADJUSTMENTS
Several adjustments may be made at the Supervisor s Level (Access Code #1). These
are primarily program/sensitivity settings and the operation of the IR Sensor. These
supervisor s adjustments can be accessed only through use of a four-digit code (See
instructions for altering Access Code #1 under Installation Adjustments, Page 12)
To access the Supervisor Adjustment Mode for the first time, press the ACCESS
touchpad and the factory preset code of 1234. The factory default settings of PROG
D SENS 60 will be displayed on the LCD with the program designation blinking.
Pressing the ACCESS touchpad will permit scrolling through these selections.
6.1. PROGRAM
The programs detailed on Pages 3 -37 have been developed for use by the Garrett
Magnascanner CS 000. These brief descriptions will give some indication of the
intent of each program, but a final judgment on the setting of each individual unit
should be determined by the intent of its installation. After the Program number is
accessed through use of the four-digit code, +touchpad can be used to increase the
number, and the -touchpad to lower it. Press ACCESS for next adjustment or OPER-
ATE to return to normal operation.
6.2. SENSITIVITY
This option permits the unit to be adjusted (range of 1 to 200) to the proper level of
sensitivity within a chosen program. Press ACCESS until the SENS and the number
are displayed on the LCD. Use the + and touchpads to adjust the number. Sensitiv-
ity of detection will be increased as the number is made larger, allowing alarm
responses on smaller targets.
Special Note
For maximum security it is recommended that both Access Code numbers be changed from
the factory default settings and that the numbers be known only to those who use them.
Record the new code numbers on the Access Settings card that accompanied this User s
Manual. It is also suggested that codes be changed periodically, especially when any
changes are made in personnel with access to the codes.

After the desired Sensitivity number has been selected, press ACCESS for next adjust-
ment or OPERATE to return to normal operation.
6.3. IR ANALYSIS
The Garrett Magnascanner CS 000 utilizes an Infrared Sensor to enhance the opera-
tion of the unit in special situations. IR Analysis ON or OFF appears on the LCD to
indicate whether or not the IR Analysis is being used. The +or touchpad is used to
turn the IR Analysis off and on. Whenever this is done, it is necessary to press
ACCESS for the next adjustment or OPERATE to return to normal operation.
Utilization of the Infrared Sensor is not required for operation of the Magnascanner and
may be disabled if desired.
Se eral benefits of the sensor are:
1. The units can operate more effectively by correlating signal responses with actual
physical movement. Because this sensor enables the Magnascanner to detect just
those individuals and objects while they are passing through the detector, it can
minimize effects of noise and other influences.
2. By inhibiting the alarm when no one is in its archway, the IR Analysis greatly mini-
mizes nuisance alarms. In instances where there is movement of large metal
objects near the exterior of the unit, such as when luggage or supply carts pass by,
or when lack of space requires the unit to be placed very near a conveyor belt of
parcel X-ray equipment, the sensor will effectively inhibit alarms.
3. The IR Analysis provides a warning any time the unit is in the Set-Up or Self-Test
Mode.
4. The IR Analysis enables the detector to count the number of individuals passing
through it.
6.4. ALARM LEVEL READING
Computerized circuitry of the Garrett Magnascanner CS 000 permits the unit to report
the minimum sensitivity level required to cause an alarm for the particular metallic tar-
get that is being passed through the archway. This information can then be used to reg-
ulate the unit.
Press the ACCESS touchpad until PLEASE WAIT appears on the LCD Display, fol-
lowed by ALARM LEVEL and a number. The target in question should then be passed
through the unit. Note the Alarm Reading number that then appears on the LCD. This is
the Sensitivity level that will be necessary for the unit to sound an alarm on this target.
Press the + touchpad to reset the indicator after each measurement. It is recommended
that several measurements of each object in question be made at various archway
positions to obtain the optimum sensitivity level setting.
Press ACCESS for next adjustment or OPERATE to return to normal operation.

7. SUPERVISOR RESPONSIBILITIES
7.1. CALIBRATION
Calibration settings of walk-through metal detectors are dependent upon individual
security screening requirements and, therefore, must be the responsibility of the
screening installation. Program and Sensitivity settings should be established at a
level that permits the detector to detect all forbidden objects that can be reasonably
expected to appear at a particular screening station. Actual forbidden objects should be
used as targets for initial calibration.
An Operational Test Piece (OTP) is an object similar in size, shape and composition to
the smallest forbidden target. Once the walk-through metal detector is properly calibrat-
ed, an OTP may be used to simulate the forbidden objects and verify calibration on a
regular basis. The OTP thereby offers a generally accepted means of verifying calibra-
tion without the necessity of having on hand actual weapons at the screening station on
a daily basis.
7.2. FAA TEST PIECE
Garrett manufactures an OTP made to the specifications of the U. S. Federal Aviation
Administration (Garrett Accessory #1600600).
It is important to understand that OTPs come in various sizes, shapes and composi-
tions, depending upon the calibration requirements of individual screening installations.
The FAA OTP is similar to ones used for regular testing of the detection capability of
metal detectors in United States airports.If the requirements for your Magnascanner
vary from FAA requirements, different test piece(s) should be considered.
Types of Audio Alarms
Understanding the audio alarms the CS 000 can sound will enable both supervisors and opera-
tors to understand the detector better and help assure totally accurate screening. Each of three
unique audio alarms is designed to call the operator s attention to current circumstances:
1. Set-up Alarm: Produces two short beeps as a person is walking through the unit. This
alarm indicates that the metal detector is in a set-up mode and is not ready for operation.
Wait for green READY light (press OPERATE touchpad, if necessary). Person(s) who trig-
gered the Set-up Alarm must pass through the unit again.
2. Standard Alarm: Occurs when red ALARM light appears and a targeted amount of metal
is detected according to Program and Sensitivity levels.
3. Warble Alarm: Occurs when a large metal mass, such as a wheelchair, furniture or large
metal container is moved through or near the Magnascanner. The large amount of metal has
saturated the detector s receiver circuits and the warble alarm is an indicator that the opera-
tor should correct the situation before allowing anyone to pass through the metal detector.

7.3. TESTING
It is imperative that a standard test program be developed for walk-through metal
detectors within a security system. The various tests should be made on a regular
basis to ensure that each unit is properly calibrated and is detecting metal. The OTP
has been designed to serve as a basic instrument for use in such a test program.
A test program should include passing the OTP and/or other objects through each
metal detector at various specified heights and horizontal positions, with the OTP
(objects) held in different orientations. The number of repetitions required at each level
with corresponding successful alarms should be established, and this testing system
should be adhered to consistently.
Included in the test procedure should be the requirement that the tester be free of all
metallic items, including shoe shanks, prior to arming himself with the OTP. A hand-
held metal detector can be used to confirm that the tester is clean of extraneous
metallic items.
