3. BASIC INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY

3.1 Site Selection and Requirements

Before choosing a site for the Paragon walk-through met-

al detector, it is important to consider the volume and

throughput requirements of patron trac, space avail-

ability and overall environmental conditions. e Paragon

must always be installed on a level, stable surface. e

following site requirements are provided as a guide to

successful installation.

Garrett Metal Detectors has decades of experience de-

signing, installing and operating security screening check-

points. Garrett’s experience ranges from very small—one

and two detector checkpoints—to very large, 900-detec-

tor Olympic operations. Garrett always prefers to work

closely with its clients when designing checkpoints. Ev-

ery client has a unique situation and may need a some-

what customized solution. Garrett is happy to assist in

designing and implementing these solutions. is section

is intended to provide general information for designing

security screening checkpoints.

• Electrical Power

Electricity is a critical element for successful, trou-

ble-free installations. Garrett metal detectors require

100-240 Volt, 50/60 Hertz power, and draw less

than one-half ampere each. Consequently, “power

load” is minimal for any group of detectors. Refer to

the setup procedure described in section 7 for multi-

unit installations.

Garrett metal detectors are very versatile and can

be connected to power from either the top or bot-

tom of either side. is makes connecting power

very convenient and gives users more options when

designing their sites. When running power along

the ground it is recommended that cords be secured

to the ground using highly visible industrial tape or

cable trays. is ensures that the cord is visible to

patron trac and prevents personal injury as well as

equipment damage. When running power overhead,

it is recommended that power cords be suspended

above the detector. is keeps the cord accessible for

maintenance, but out of reach of regular trac.

• Physical Site

Appropriate selection and preparation of a site is

paramount for successful, ecient and eective

checkpoint screening operations. e site must be

at, level and free from obstructions. e surface

must be solid and free from any vibration or move-

ment. Most indoor surfaces are already adequate.

Wooden or metal platforms cannot be used.

• Checkpoint Conf iguration

A site must also allow for ecient spacing and con-

guration of metal detectors. If a site is too small

the operation of the checkpoint becomes choked

and bottlenecks form. is severely hampers the

ow of trac through a checkpoint and can be

troublesome when trying to operate within time

constraints. If a site is too big it becomes dicult

to oversee the checkpoint, and valuable space is

wasted. As a general rule a rectangular block of space,

4’ wide and at least 10’ deep, should be reserved

for every checkpoint lane. ere are many ways to

arrange detectors at a checkpoint. Please refer to the

illustrations on the following pages for configura-

tions suggested by Garrett.

See Section 7 for additional equipment spacing

requirements and set-up information.

• Interference

Many variables can potentially cause interference

with any metal detector operation. However, there

are some major variables which may be identied

and addressed during site selection. Electrical sourc-

es of interference including generators, transformers,

electrical panels, etc., should be kept as far away as

possible. Large moving or stationary metallic objects

such as revolving doors, elevators, garbage cans, bar-

ricades, etc., should be kept as far away as possible.

Search tables and personnel should be placed a mini-

mum of 6” from the detector. X-ray machines and

other complementary screening equipment should

be placed a minimum distance of 12” from the

detector.
