movement of the people walking through the detector.
2.2.3 Electromagnetic Radiation and Interference
Since the detector uses Bilateral receiver technology, the detector must be installed
away at a distance of at least 1 meter from the sources of electromagnetic radiation
or electromagnetic interference. The parameters that define the distance are
determined by the installation environment and the parameters vary for different
installation environments.
