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.
• 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.
Static Metal
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.
Moving Metal
> 2 m / 79 in
Electromagnetic Interference
Radiated EM interferences
The distance between electromagnetic
interference sources and the WTMD should
be maximized. Recommended minimum
distance is 2 m (79 in). However, the exact
distance has to be determined for each case
separately, i.e. by moving the WTMD 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,
> 2 m / 79 in 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.

When using two or more Metor 6S 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 50 cm (20
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 6S 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. See
chapter 7.3 to learn how to change the operating frequency.
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.
NOTICE
Do not use FREQUENCY SEARCH IN START-UP function when having multiple units.
Having several units searching for suitable frequencies at the same time may prevent
the units from finding suitable frequencies.
Assembly:
• First define the sides of the coil panels
if you have side-by-side operation.
• Zone display is assembled at factory so
that it is towards exit side when TX
panel is on left side and RX panel on
right side. Position of the display is also
shown by a sticker on the TX panel.
• Lay the coil panels on the floor.
• Install the cross piece with display and
keypad towards the exit side.
• Place the cross piece to the holes in the
coil panel and fasten using the
mounting screws and washers.
• Repeat with the other panel.
• Do the final tightening of the screws
after lifting the unit to ensure that the
panels are parallel.
NOTICE
After changing the side of the zone display you need to select correct zone display
mode from the user interface to enable the zone display using menu “2.4.1 ZONES”.
Refer to chapter 7.4 for further information.
Do not switch zone display to RX panel as such action will cause counter malfunction.
CAUTION
While assembled three persons are recommended for safe lifting and lowering of the
equipment.
CAUTION
To eliminate the risk of overbalancing the equipment must be fastened to the floor.

WARNING
Manufacturer supplied power supply must be used. Do not connect any other power
supply to the DC power cable.
Power supply shall be located to be easily accessible for disconnection.
NOTICE
If you have to connect the power supply to RX panel place the supply as far from the
RX panel as possible to minimize the possibility of interference.
The digital inputs have a pull-up resistor to 12 V. Maximum input voltage is 15 VDC.
Recommended connection is a switch that connects input (pin 1) to ground (pin 3).
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.
CAUTION
You must not place the power supply inside the cross piece when using the equipment
at temperatures exceeding +50 °C (+122 °F) to prevent overheating.

access rights to user interface functions. User groups are named “SUPER”, “USER”, and with
numbers 2 – 8. Access rights of groups “USER” and 2 – 8 can be freely configured. The user
group “SUPER” has full and permanent access to the user interface.
Without using an access code a user can view detection program and sensitivities in use and
adjust volume:
• Press <♫> key to adjust volume. Note minimum adjustable volume is limited by a
separate parameter, refer to chapter 7.4.
• Press <F1> key to view current detection program and overall sensitivity value.
NOTICE
If wrong access code for a user is entered for three consecutive times the user is
locked meaning that he can no longer access the user interface. Locking can be

10 DISPOSAL OF EQUIPMENT
When the equipment is taken out of use, it should be disposed of by observing the following
environmental aspects:
• The steel and aluminum of the equipment structures, the copper of the cables, and the
precious metals in the electronics should be recycled as raw materials and used for
production of new metal products.
• Materials that can be incinerated include fiberboard and plastics, excluding PVC.
• The packaging material of the product is of 100 % recyclable materials.
• Parts made of PVC, electric components, and other hazardous waste shall be disposed of
according to the local laws and regulations.
Sensitivity - Parameter for defining the size of the metal items that will generate an alarm.
When sensitivity is increased smaller metal items will be detected.
Discrimination - The WTMD’s ability to differentiate harmless items from weapons. The
alarm rate of a WTMD at a security check point indicates the discrimination ability of the
equipment. Discrimination is affected by several factors e.g. sensitivity level, passenger
profile, season (cold or warm) etc.
Unwanted alarm - (=nuisance alarm). Alarm caused by harmless metal items that people
carry with them through the WTMD.
False alarm - Alarm caused by some other reason than metal objects (e.g. electrical
interferences). Alarms caused by metal objects (wanted or unwanted) are not false in the case
of a metal detector.
Alarm rate - The amount of alarms due to metal items as a percentage of the total number of
people passing through the WTMD. The alarm rate is affected by the discrimination ability of
the WTMD. If discrimination is poor i.e. there are a lot of alarms due to harmless items the
alarm rate is higher. Note! Alarms caused by electrical interferences or reasons other
than items taken through the WTMD, are not included in the alarm rate.
Throughput rate - The maximum number of people in a given time that can pass through
without affecting the detection performance of the WTMD. Represents the WTMD’s ability to
return to stand-by condition after a person has walked through. In practice, the maximum
throughput rate is only theoretical and can usually not be reached because it is limited by the
checking procedure and maximum walking speed of people.
Object speed response - The ability of a WTMD to maintain the sensitivity level unchanged
when people pass through at different speeds.
Calibration - Procedure to set the parameter values of the WTMD for reaching the optimal
performance according to the requirements of the application.
Side-by-side use - Two or more WTMDs are operated so closely-spaced that their
electromagnetic fields affect each other’s operation. The effect of the adjacent WTMD can be
minimized by using different operating frequencies.
Detection uniformity - The ability of a WTMD to maintain uniform sensitivity throughout the
whole detection area regardless of the shape and orientation of the metal item. Detection
uniformity directly affects the discrimination capability of a WTMD. The sensitivity of a WTMD
is usually set according to the weakest position of the detection area. In case of poor detection
uniformity this may lead to unnecessary high sensitivity in other parts of the passage,
considerably degrading discrimination. When the detection uniformity of a WTMD is tested it
should always be done with real objects e.g. a weapon, or their simulators. Cylinders or
spheres as test items can give wrong indications on the true detection uniformity of a WTMD.
Critical test object - The most difficult object to be detected from a group of test objects.
Requires the highest sensitivity for detection.
