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.
Key takeaways
- Keep the arch away from metal doors, lifts and big electrical equipment.
- Level and stabilise it so it doesn't move.
- Calibrate sensitivity with test items.
- Train guards on zones and hand-held checks.
- Plan a tray for phones and keys.

How long does installation take?
Usually a few hours per arch, including calibration and guard training.
Can the detector be moved later?
Yes, but recalibrate it in the new position because surroundings affect detection.
