General functionality description

Device works as magnet detector. Device has a connectors for magnet sensors cable. Device has groups of parameters "Magnet" and "Magnet Adv." for tuning magnet detector. And it also has two groups of parameters "Mag S1" and "Mag S2" for sensors tuning. These parameter groups allow you to configure the detection of magnets.

The system responde to a changes in the magnetic field in the range of the magnet sensors. If magnet response level is big enough corresponding to magnet detection settings this consider as alarm. So internal state is changing to alarm state, alarm counter is incrementing, common system buzzer is switching-on ("fast beeps" by default), external LED3 indication is switching-on. After a short time when magnetic field is not changing, while there is no moving magnet near sensors or it is out of the detection area, if reaction is less then magnet detection settings it consider as end of alarm. So internal state is changing to normal state, common system buzzer and corresponded external LED indication are switching-off.

For magnet detection there is a set of algorithms for elimination or decreasing a number of false alarms caused by non hard-tag detachers or non "target magnets". For this magnet detectors can use two-sensor measurements for filtering false alarms caused by "far located strong magnet" (urban transport, elevators), impulse disturbances (electrical drive of sliding doors, power converters). While iron structure has the properties of a magnet, when moving this can cause false alarm. Accordingly magnet detectors can use corresponded metal detector data for correction the magnet detection. These functions are intended for installations in outlets (or elsewhere) where iron trolleys are used.

The device can send information about the number of magnet detection alarms for a period (enabled, every 5 min by default) or immediately alarm states. Also it can send separately sensors own alarms counters and states. To do this, you need to set these variables as streams with the necessary parameters and save the changes.

Setup procedure

1. To assess the level of the magnet's influence, use the variable dV, which should be chosen for monitoring. The system should tuned to the best sensitivity when detecting moving magnets using the parameters th, bsize, bwindow, in delay / out delay, taking into account the noise level.

The magnet detector is evaluated using the state and counter variables, as well as based on the external LED indication.

The range of detection depends on the level of magnetic induction of the magnet, the direction of its magnetic field and the speed of motion. For tuning, you can use a standard magnetic hard-tag detacher with an induction of 6-10,000 Gauss.


2. False triggering in some cases can be caused by impulse and constant interference at the installation site, for example, when the sliding doors (especially with the DC collector drive) are close (<2 m), when power consumers switch on/off the power line (depends on Parameters of the mains), with close proximity (<0.5 m) of mains power lines, with close location (<25 m) of transport routes (metro, tram, parking). The detuning from false alarms can be performed by a load of sensitivity (increase in th), as well as an increase in the delay in triggering in delay.

3. For false alarm filtering select corresponded algo value from Magnet x group , use the variable dV, which should be chosen for monitoring. The system should tuned to the best sensitivity when detecting moving magnets using the parameters th, in delay / out delay, taking into account the noise level.
