Suitable Site
A suitable site for your entryway security system for gun detection and temperature is a location that can be inside or outside that is free from mechanical and electrical noise. The mechanical noise is moving metal like a sliding or swinging door. Electrical noise is unwanted interference with the calibration of the unit. When the entryway security system pillars self-calibrates for 60 seconds during start-up when the entryway security device is powered on, the gun detection pillars can tolerate low level stable electrical noise. Make sure Pillars are 34" apart when turning on.
Note: phased or high-AC power wires like an air conditioner unit that turns on and off, may interfere with the operation of the gun detection pillars. The solution is simply moving farther away from the noise, so the space requirement to operate the entryway security system is to provide enough air and insulation so that there are no swinging doors or AC units next to the entryway security device.
Selecting the best place for entryway security is very dependent on the use case, so this guide is giving options and minimums for viability.
4’ x 6’ is the minimum space requirement to deploy a screening, like in a vestibule where the doors swing away from the entryway secuirty unit. This minimum size is the technical requirement to give a Pass/Fail through the entryway security device.
6’ x 8’ or larger gives more operating room and should be considered what is recommended. Of course the operational security methods deployed also should be considered, so that the entryway security resources have enough space to do their job. Secondary screening tables can be immediately next to the unit, but should not be within 36 inches of the poles of the unit.
Distance needed from the Apple iPad to the entryway security pillars should be between 4' to 12' feet away. The Apple iPad with thermal camera should be at a height of 4' to 10' feet in the air.
PLEASE NOTE 1: 36 inches around each of the poles needs to be mechanical and electrical noise free.
PLEASE NOTE 2: Multiple adjacent entryway security gun detection units need to be at least 3 feet away from each other, and the handles need to face the opposite direction of adjacent units. If units are adjacent and over 5 feet away from each other, than the units do not need to be turned 180 degrees.
Is this a permanent location or a temporary one? The default is battery poles with suction cup bottoms and the ipad/thermal camera on a plug and tripod with a wifi connection or cabled ethernet connection. Most permanent locations will get network cable to the ipad, and each pole and the ipad (3 total plugs) will be needed. The poles can be mounted to the floor with a base plate, and the default is suction cups, and the ipad/thermal camera is recommended to be mounted on the ceiling or wall. Many customers start with the default portable configuration, and then decide where to permanently locate it.
