Medical Safety Information
The Metal Detectors comply with regulatory requirements for human
exposure to electromagnetic fields. THe manufacturer submits its devices
to testing by bodies qualified to check compliance with the emission limits
of the main standards currently in force (documentation available on
request). General information on use: the electromagnetic field emitted by
devices is extremely weak, with amplitude comparable with that of the
earth. However, the manufacturer cannot exclude that this device may
affect personal medical electronic devices, depending on their functionality
or their restrictions on use. Any recommendation or directive issued by
medical personnel or medical equipment manufacturers relating to
electromagnetic fields must therefore be implemented. If for any reason a
person about to pass through the detector shows fear or refuses to
undergo the inspection, it is recommended that the inspection be carried
out using an alternative method.
For further information on standard procedures to be followed for
inspection of people with implanted medical devices using a metal
detector, please consult the ASTM F2401-04 standard ‘Standard Practice
for Security Checkpoint Metal Detector Screening of Persons with Medical
Devices’ or other relevant directives.
Turnstiles.us is not responsible for direct or indirect harm to people or
things due to incorrect use of the Metal Detector.
Use warnings
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 (at least daily) to insure no changes
have occurred in the equipment. Reference Standards on this
argument include documents ASTM C 1270-97 and ASTM C 1309-97.
The execution of the test and its result shall be recorded. In case of a
negative result, the equipment should not be used.

All numeric distances indicated in this paragraph are indicative and depend on the detection
performance required by the specific application and on the nature or extent of the source of interference.
The X-ray unit is in the immediate vicinity of the MD and may provide several sources of
interference:
- the monitor (electrical interference)
- the conveyor belt motor (electrical interference)
- the mechanical components of the conveyor belt (mechanical interference). Example:
metal side-panel not firmly fixed.
The higher the required security level is, the stronger the influence of the above mentioned
sources might be.
1 MD centring with respect to the X-ray unit
Centre the MD with respect to the X-ray unit, as illustrated in the figure.
303-670-1099

12
When the Metal Detector is centered with respect to the areas where luggage and metal
personal effects are deposited or recovered, these objects are unlikely to move close to the
device and cause alarms.
2 MD orientation
The archway must be positioned with the TX antenna on the side of the X-ray unit. This layout
places the RX antenna - that is most sensitive part of the archway - as far as possible away from
the potential sources of electrical interference contained into the X-ray unit (mainly the monitor
and the conveyor belt motor).
NOTE: with this configuration, the power supply socket for the MD must be on the X-ray unit side.
3 Distance between the MD and the X-ray unit
Check the distance between the TX panel and the X-ray unit (refer to table ‘Recommended
minimum distance’ above).
4 X-ray unit anchoring
The X-ray unit must be firmly anchored to the floor to prevent its mechanical parts from
vibrations.
5 Sources of vibration:
Strong gusts of air: remove the cause (f. i., a door slam), if possible. EVA procedure
(see EVA programming command) can be carried out to compensate vibrations.
Objects, panels or furniture in direct contact with the MD: no objects, panels or
furniture shall be placed in direct contact with the MD.
6 Sources of vibration: Unstable Floor
The MD gate shall be anchored to a stable floor. Avoid installing on wood or metal platforms
unless necessary. In this latter case, contact CEIA for additional information
7 Anchoring the MD to the floor
ATTENTION: this step must be performed only once the setting and the environmental interference level
have been tested and found to be compatible. Refer to ‘Anchoring the MD to the floor’ section for details.
The MD must be firmly anchored to the floor.
8 ‘Fixed’ metal masses
Any large object positioned close to the MD shall be only made of plastic or other non-metallic
material (refer to table ‘Recommended minimum distance’ above).
9 Moving metal objects
Doors or other large structures made of metal shall be kept far from the MD (refer to table
‘Recommended minimum distance’ above).
10 Low-power Electrical/Electronical Devices
The distance between the MD RX antenna and electric/electronic devices should be greater than
1 m (3.3 ft).
11 High-power electrical conductors and Electrical/Electronical Devices
These sources should be as far as possible from the MD RX antenna.
12 Distance between the MD and the Security Screener in charge
The position predisposed for the Security Screener in charge should not cause the MD to detect
his own metal objects (i.e. transceivers). Suggested distance is 0.5 m (20’) minimum.

3.1.2 Multiple installation
In case of the installation of multiple units it is necessary to respect the following rules, in order to
synchronize each unit with the other ones.
Place the MDs following the sequence: TX-RX - RX-TX - TX-RX ...
Ensure that the distances (‘d1’ and ‘d2’ in the figure below) between the MDs are not less
than the minimum required.
