4.1.3 FATAL ERRORS

The system continuously performs several of the tests described above. Errors 1,4 and 5 severely

limit or prohibit the operation of the Magnascanner and are considered Fatal Errors.

If a fatal error is encountered because of component failure, broken wire, etc., the

audible alarm will sound and the LED display will begin to flash. To remedy the situation, press the

OPERATE touchpad, which will initiate the self-diagnostic routine. Note the error(s) that will appear

on the LED and follow instructions stated above. If a solution is not obvious, it will be necessary to

follow the repair procedure described in Section 9.2.

4.1.4 NON-FATAL ERRORS

Errors 2, 3, and 6 may also occur. These failures do not limit the system’s detection capabilities and

the unit will continue to operate. Although the equipment is usable, it is important to identify and

orrect all problems as soon as possible in order to maintain full performance capabilities.

Another error indication is that of a warbling audio when a person is in the archway

(or, for an extended time if the IR Analysis is switched off). This sound indicates that

a large metallic object, such as a wheelchair, stroller, or very large hand-carried object, has “over-

loaded” the equipment to a degree that it cannot function accurately. If this sound is heard, the oper-

ator should see that the problem object is moved away, and the person being inspected should be

required to pass through the archway again after the green READY light appears.
