PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT KIOSK
Quick Start Guide
In this Quick Start Guide, we will walk
through how to set up the Personnel
Management Kiosk. Right out of the box,
this unit will already be capable of
scanning users and taking their
temperatures. Some changes may need
to be made to the application based on
your individual requirements.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
●Use of the PMK is not intended as a substitute for consultation with your physician. Please
consult your internal protocol in the event of an abnormal temperature reading.
●Never stand, climb, sit, or hang on the device.
CAUTION
This device has been
evaluated to
standards similar to
IEC 80601-2-59:2017:
Medical Electrical
Equipment –Part
2-59: Particular
requirements for the
basic safety and
essential
performance of
screening
thermographs for
human febrile
temperature
screening.
PMK readings
should be regarded
as a reference. Do
not attempt
self-diagnostics or
self-treatment using
the temperature
readings. Please
seek professional
medical advice
when necessary.
There is no absolute
standard for human
body temperature.
Knowing your own
normal body
temperature range
is important to
accurately
determine if you
have a fever.
The forehead of the
subject should be
free from sweat,
hair, and other
obstructions before
measuring.
Users should not
drink, eat, or be
physically active
immediately
before/while taking
a reading.
Temperature
readings taken
when a body is in a
state of stable
equilibrium are
more accurate.
It is normal for
readings taken from
continuous
measurements to
fluctuate within a
small range.
Do not directly face
the sun or the air
outlet of an air
conditioning or
radiator device
during
measurement, as
this can cause
changes to the
forehead
temperature.
Measurements
should be taken in a
stable environment.
Avoid dropping or
subjecting the
product to external
forces during
installation or use.
Do not measure
body temperature
in an environment
with strong
electromagnetic
interference
(examples include
places close to a
working microwave,
induction cooker, or
a cellphone in use)
as EM interference
may cause errors in
the reading or even
device failure.
We suggest
calibrating your
device once a
month or more
frequently if you
have fluctuations in
your ambient
temperature of
more than 2°C (5.6°
F).

●Wireless Keyboard + Mouse Combo (USB dongle and batteries are pre-installed)
*Please note that the keyboard included with the unit is specific to that individual unit.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
1. After removing the PMK from its packaging, inspect the kiosk and power cord for damage.
2. Plug in the power cord to turn the kiosk on. Wait 10 minutes.
3. After turning on, the thermal scanner will first scan the current ambient temperature
distribution. During this 10 to 20 second process, it is best not to have anyone in the
scanner’s field of view.
4. Avoid direct sunlight, areas with extreme high or low temperatures, high humidity, vibration,
radiation, and corrosive chemical environments.
5. Do not install near radiant heat sources and avoid high temperature objects in the field of
view.
6. All electrical safety regulations must be strictly observed. A surge protector is recommended.
7. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched. Do not pull out the plug by tugging
at the cord and never touch the power cord when your hands are wet. Never make a knot in
the cord.
8. Please use the power adapter provided. If it is ever damaged, contact technical support. For
specific requirements of the power adapter, see the product performance section.
9. The kiosk should not be facing a reflective background such as glass. If there is glass, cover it
with an opaque material with a color closer to white than black.
10. If you change kiosk locations, wait 10 minutes after power up to take a temperature
measurement.
11. When choosing a kiosk location, the number of individuals being screened and their rate of
presentation need to be considered.
12. The individuals to be screened should stand in a single file line, while respecting social
distancing guidelines, and stop at the PMK for their temperature screening.
13. If the product does not work properly, do not disassemble or modify the product in any way.
Meridian does not assume any responsibility for problems caused by unauthorized
modification or repair.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE CONTINUED
CLEANING
1. Clean and sanitize the product properly to prevent cross contamination.
2. To clean the PMK, gently wipe the kiosk with a clean microfiber cloth sprayed with a 70%
isopropyl alcohol based solution. Be sure to prevent liquid from entering the kiosk
components. Wipe the kiosk dry with a clean microfiber cloth.
3. Do not directly touch the thermal sensor with your fingers or blow on it. Measurements
taken using a damaged or dirty thermal sensor may be inaccurate.
4. To ensure accurate measurements, keep the device from direct liquid contact. Avoid tiny
particles falling onto the sensor.
TEMPERATURE READING CALIBRATION
Your PMK arrives in a calibrated state from the factory, using a blackbody device as a reference
temperature source. Once setup is complete, verify the readings of the PMK based on an FDA
approved thermal forehead thermometer. If needed, adjust the temperature compensation value
of the PMK. Temperature compensation on the device must be entered in Celsius. Please refer to
our website for details.

BODY TEMPERATURE
MEASUREMENT PROCESS
1. Approach the front of the kiosk until your face fits the designated area on the screen. The
ideal distance for measuring the temperature of an individual is 20 inches (50 cm).
2. After 1–3 seconds, the screen will display your temperature reading. When a normal
temperature is detected, a message will tell the user if they have a normal temperature.
3. When a high temperature is detected, the photo flood lamp will turn red and an alarm will
sound for a few seconds.
4. You can toggle the temperature threshold and other settings in the application.
1. Body temperature varies from person to person and fluctuates during the course of the
day. For this reason, it is suggested to know one’s normal, healthy forehead temperature to
accurately determine the temperature.
2. Reading times may differ according to skin tone, measurement distance, and lighting
conditions.
3. Different measurement methods may give different readings. Therefore, you should
compare your readings from the PMK to an IR forehead thermometer.
4. Instances that can affect the temperature reading of an individual:
○Wearing glasses
○Hair covering the forehead
○Hats and other head coverings
○Direct sunlight on the kiosk or user
○Medical conditions that raise the surface temperature of the face
5. If an abnormal temperature is detected on an individual that has just come inside, please
wait at least 3 minutes before taking another measurement.
