Quick answer
Installation is mostly about placement and calibration. The arch is assembled, positioned away from large metal and electrical interference, levelled and anchored if needed, then its sensitivity is set to the threats you care about and tested with sample items. Guards are trained on the alarm zones and hand-held follow-up.
