X-ray Machine User Guide





Workspace Setup

  • Placement of X-ray in relation to WDS - be mindful of Electromagnetic Field (EMF)

    • Any Weapons Detection System or other EMF-sensitive device should be placed at least two (2) feet away from the X-ray machine to avoid interference

    • When using the OpenGate Weapons Detection System, it is advised that the Main Pole be the closest to the X-ray machine and the Secondary Pole farthest away from the X-ray machine

  • Configuration of work area – iPad placement in relation to X-ray (suggestion only)

    • The Operator iPad may be used from anywhere the end-user wishes, particularly when in a wireless setup

    • Generally, placing the Operator iPad next to the person at the X-ray machine, opposite the entrance is desirable; this gives the security guard the ability to screen the items passing through the X-ray as well as quickly handle any bags that contain possible threat objects

    • WDS Poles should be placed roughly center on the X-ray machine, so, person places baggage on the belt, walks through poles and grabs their bag on the other side.

    • Cables should always be taped down with tape or cable covers to eliminate tripping hazard and increase safety.

IF ANY ISSUES ARRISE, ALWAYS ENGAGE EMERGENCY STOP, AND MOVE ALL CIVILIANS AWAY FROM THE MACHINE.


Only then should you begin to troubleshoot.










If a metal is impenetrable, meaning the xray-machine cannot see through it, it will show up as deep black, indicating a potential threat.

All Available Objects


The following is a list of current objects that the AI can detect automatically, there are corresponding sensitivities from 0.1 - 0.99 with 0.1 being the most sensitive, if you disable an object this means the AI will not detect it at all.


If you would like an object disabled, enabled or their corresponding sensitivities adjusted, open a support ticket.
