The CEIA Field Tester System is a system designed to assess the performance of an Enhanced Metal Detector (EMD) at the time and place of installation and at user-defined maintenance intervals.

The Field Tester has a built in electronics that allows the use as a stand-alone system.

In this case, it functions as a test piece positioning system, assuring a repetitive trajectory of the test piece, and provides the operator with the evaluation of the transit speed.

This manual describes only the use of the Field Tester as a stand-alone system.

The system, using an additional software specific for the Security Standard in use, allows performing the following tests:

• Field Equipment Sensitivity Test using Calibration Artifact
• Field Equipment Sensitivity Test using Clean Tester
• Field Equipment Speed Test (as for the stand-alone mode)
• Field Equipment Throughput Test
• Field Equipment Cancellation Effect Test

The system is based on an adjustable test piece support (Field Tester) fitted with sensors for the acquisition of the test piece position and a control unit that transmits the processed data to an external Personal Computer.

The system is powered directly by the Personal Computer.
