CASE 2:
Description:
• Two or more PD 6500i's that interfere with each other.
• PD 6500i's not plugged into the same AC power line or those with battery
back-up option which may be required to operate in the absence of AC power.
Procedure:
1. Disconnect PD 6500i's from power line.
2. Open access door of detection unit.
3. Remove the three screws that hold controller cover. (See Figure 2-6)
4. Use synchronization wire (18 to 24-gauge, 2 conductor) between units;
connect as shown. (See Figure 2-7) (Connector block is a plug in and may
be removed to facilitate connection of unit)
5. With the exception of the end units, the SH1 jumper, located on the
controller board assembly must be removed. (See Figure 2-7)
6. Replace covers and reconnect power.
7. Set the end unit (i.e., first or last in a series of PD 6500i's) synchronization
to MASTER CHANNEL 1 and make sure it is always connected to either
AC power or battery power.
8. Set all other units synchronize to SLAVE.
9. Set the remaining units to CHANNEL 2 and 1 as shown in Figure 2-7.
10. Repeat pattern of channels 1 and 2 for any additional PD 6500i's.
2.4.3
OPERATING WITH GARRETT PRODUCTS OTHER THAN PD6500i
The PD6500i will operate with other Garrett walk-through metal detectors with
some limitation. As a general rule the installation described in sections 2.4.1 and
2.4.2 apply with the exception that the alternating channels selected should be
Channel A and Channel B. Channels C & D of other Garrett Products should not
be used when operating with the PD6500i. Spacing requirements may vary and
may be dependent on program and sensitivity settings.
