3 INSTALLATION
When planning the installation of a WTMD there are a few important things that should be
considered. The optimum operation of the WTMD as well as maximum traffic flow at the
security checkpoint can be ensured only when these factors have been taken into account.
3.1 Checkpoint Layout
The layout of a security checkpoint should be planned carefully before installing the
equipment in order to maximize the traffic flow. In addition to the considerations regarding
mechanical and electrical interferences at the installation site, operative security checking
should be organized properly. The functionality of a checkpoint is very much affected by the
following:
•Queuing to enter the WTMD should be arranged so that only the person screened is
in the immediate vicinity of the WTMD.
•The secondary screening of persons causing alarms should not stop the screening
with the WTMD.
•The checking of hand luggage should be arranged so that it does not cause
extraneous alarms.
3.2 Minimizing External Interference
It is important to minimize the effect of different sources of interference that may have an
influence on the operation of the WTMD. The following recommendations should be
considered when selecting the installation site.
Static Metal
Static metal
Large static or stationary metal objects
should be at least 20 cm (8 in) away from
the WTMD. The effect on sensitivity is small
but may make the WTMD more prone to the
effects of vibration.
Floor vibration
The floor should be even and solidly
supported to prevent vibration. Especially
when there are vibrating metal constructions
beneath the floor, people walking through
the WTMD can cause unnecessary alarms.

P/N 101023281 Metor 900M Page 13
Rev. 0.5 Installation and Operating Manual
Rapiscan Systems Proprietary Information
Moving Metal
Moving metal objects
Large moving metal objects outside the
WTMD should be kept at least 0.5 - 2 m
(20 - 79 in) away from the WTMD to avoid
false alarms. The required distance between
the movingmetal and the WTMD varies
depending on the size of the metal object
and the sensitivity setting of the WTMD.
Electromagnetic Interference
Radiated EM interferences
The distance between electromagnetic
interference sources and the WTMD should
be maximized. Recommended minimum
distance is 0.5 m (20 in). However, the exact
distance has to be determined for each case
separately, i.e. by moving theWTMD and
the interference source in respect to each
other until the optimal position is found.
Interference may be generated for example
by electrical control panels, radio and
computer equipment, video monitors,
powerful electric motors and transformers,
AC power lines, thyristor control circuits,
flickering fluorescent lighting, and arc
welding equipment.
Conducted EM interferences
Plug the power cord to a line not sharing any
heavy loads, like large electric motors. They
can cause major power or voltage surges in
the line.
The magnitude of interference may vary depending on the selected operating frequency of the
unit. If the source of interference can not be removed or its distances to the unit changed
select an operating frequency which minimizes the interference. However, if the frequency
spectrum of the interference is broad changing operating frequency of the unit may not help.

Installation and Operating Manual Rev. 0.5
Rapiscan Systems Proprietary Information
3.3 Side-by-Side Operation
Side-by-side operation means that two or more Walk Through Metal Detectors operate close
to each other. When operated side-by-side, WTMDs may interfere with each other to some
extent. The level of interference depends on the distance between the units, their operating
frequencies and selected detection sensitivity.
When using two or more Metor 900M units near to each other assemble the units so that RX
panels or TX panels of adjacent units are next to each other as illustrated in the figure above.
With just two units it is recommended to have RX panels of adjacent units next to each other.
The recommended minimum gap (marked as d in the figure) between the units is 5 cm (2 in).
However, actual usable minimum gap between the units depends on installation site, the
number of units, and selected detection sensitivities.
When operating two or several units close to each other their operating frequencies need to
be different. Metor 900M has ten different operating frequencies to enable operation of
multiple units close to each other. All the operating frequencies are suitable for side-by-side
use.
When selecting operating frequencies for several units turn on the units one at the time. Turn
on first the outmost unit and select a suitable frequency for it. Then turn on the next unit and
select a suitable frequency for it. Do not turn off the first unit. Do the same for all the units one
at the time. If you have more than ten units or some frequencies are not suitable select the
frequency of the first unit.

must be considered in assembly:
Ref Part Pcs
4............ Display and keypad ........1
•First define the sides of the coil panels if you have side-by-side operation.
•Both panels have zone display on both edges. Zone displays are also used for traffic
light function.
•Lay the coil panels on the floor.
•Install the cross piece with display and keypad towards the exit side.
•Take cable assembly (and AC jumper cable) out of the coil panel and put it into the
cross piece.
•Place the cross piece to the holes in the coil panel and fasten using the mounting
screws.
•Repeat with the other panel.
•Pull AC jumper cable out of boot and connect mains power cord to it. Connectors can
be inserted back into the boot to prevent accidental disconnection and for protection
against weather.
•Do the final tightening of the screws after lifting the unit to ensure that the panels are
parallel.
CAUTION
While assembled three persons are recommended for safe lifting and lowering of the
equipment.

Page 16 Metor 900M P/N 101023281
Installation and Operating Manual Rev. 0.5
Rapiscan Systems Proprietary Information
3.5 Floor Fixing
•Lift the unit up to a vertical position in its
final mounting location.
•Check that the panels are parallel both
in walking direction and sidewise. Use
the pasteboard gauge provided to
ensure that distance between panels is
the same at top and at bottom.
•Tighten the mounting screws.
•Use the mounting holes (1) in the panel
boots to fix the unit to the floor with
screws.
•If drilling holes to the floor is not
preferred you can use the flat areas
under the boots to attach the unit to the
floor with double sided tape or suitable
adhesive.
•Do not fix the unit before you have
checked that there is no excess
interference at intended position.
CAUTION
To eliminate the risk of overbalancing the equipment must be fastened to the floor.
The equipment must be disassembled before carrying by a single person or suitable
carrying equipment must be used. Care must be taken not to overbalance the
equipment when screws are removed from the floor.

3.7 Connections for Digital I/O
The Metor 900M has two configurable digital inputs and two configurable digital outputs.
The digital inputs have a pull-up resistor to 3.3 V. Maximum input voltage is 5 VDC.
Recommended connection is a switch that connects input (pin 3) to ground (pin 1).
Maximum load for each relay output is 24 V and 1 A.
WARNING
Line voltage or any circuit connected to line voltage may not be connected to any of
the connectors in the electronics, including the relay outputs. External isolation
circuitry (double/reinforced insulation) must be used if a circuit connected to line
voltage must be controlled.

4 STARTUP AND SHUTDOWN
•Metor 900M is turned on and off from
the power switch on the main
electronics inside the cross piece.
•To access the switch open the cross
piece hatch with the key provided.
•The unit can be switched to standby
without the need to open the cross
piece hatch by enabling the standby
feature from the user interface.
Standby state is turned on and off
from keypad on the cross piece.
During standby all displays and lights
are off and metal detection is
disabled with magnetic field
generation turned off.
•After switching on Metor 900M runs a
self-test sequence before normal
operation starts.
NOTICE
In permanent outdoor installations it is recommended to use standby feature to turn
power off instead of using on/off switch. Standby power keeps temperature inside
cross piece above ambient and thus prevents possible moisture condensation inside
the cross piece due to thermal cycling effects.
