and it can avoid false alarm. And the number of people passing through is counted accurately.

5.2 Adjustment of Detection Zone’s Sensitivity

1 The device must be in a stable position to achieve the best detection effect (refer 3.3

Installation Site). To check whether the device is in a stable state, perform the following

steps:

a) Power on the detector and check whether it is not shaking after one minute.

b) The device should not alarm when the testing person did not carry any metal

items while walking through the detector.

2 You can exclude the small portable metal objects such as rings, key, belt buckle, shoes,

and so on, by following the steps given below:

a) Choose a small metal as a sample. Increase the sensitivity, so that when the testing

person carries the sample and pass through the detector, and it would alarm.

b) Decrease the sensitivity a little, carry the sample, and pass through the detector

again. If it still alarms, once again reduce the sensitivity, until the device does not

alarm when the sample is passed through.

Note: If you want to decrease the sensitivity in a certain zone, you must only adjust the

sensitivity of the relative zone. After implementing the above adjustments, the metal which

smaller than the sample will not alarm, but the metal objects bigger than the sample can be

detected accurately.

Troubleshooting

What to do if the Sensor could not count?

1 Check whether the host signal lines are connected firmly with the door panels.

2 Check whether there is any infrared interference beside the device, such as infrared

surveillance system, infrared remote control, outdoor sunlight, etc.

3 If both a and b are OK, replace the infrared sensor.

What to do if the detector gives a false alarm?

1 If the device gives false alarms frequently after installation, perform the following steps:

a) Firstly, check the installation environment. Make sure there are no movable or

stationary large metal objects around 1.5 meters from the detector. If there is any

metal object, try to place the device away from the large metal objects.

b) Make sure that the installation location is stable and free from physical

movements.

2 If the false alarm is not caused by the environment, reduce the sensitivity level of all

zones.

3 Change the frequency.

4 Change the installation location.
