How to carry out inspections
S
Attention!
Items with loose belts or loose packaging and objects, which cannot be placed firmly on the convey-
ors as well as all kinds of clothes must be placed into appropriate plastic containers (see below) to
avoid damages! The objects must not move during the inspection. If required, use plastic containers
with structured foam insert!820
S
Attention!
Short or flat items have to be put into plastic containers (see below) to be sure they will be detected
and scanned even if placed in an unfavourable position! Alternatively, the X-ray unit can be operated
in Continuous scanning mode (F 1-53)! 830
S
Attention!
Keep in mind that the material and structure of the plastic containers mentioned above may affect
the X-ray unit's material detection characteristics! Inappropriate plastic containers may also cause
electrostatic charging! Therefore, contact your sales partner when choosing suitable plastic contain-
ers. 840
In order to be able to assign X-ray images to scanned
baggage or freight items later on, you should keep dis-
tances of 20cm between subsequent items.
A
Caution!
If the automatic return mode* is used, place a new object for further scanning on the conveyor only if
the previous object has run out again at the input and you have removed it from the conveyor belt!
If you do not comply with this, objects can drop down from the conveyor belt and thus be destroyed,
and also injure you or other persons! 860

When continuously scanning items
which have been placed very close to
one another, the image quality is re-
duced after some time. In this case, it
will be sufficient to keep a distance of at
least 50cm once in order to optimize the
image quality again.
S
Attention!
Adhering to the minimum distances is particularly required when using the optional functions to
store, transfer and print X-ray images; the distance is required to separate the images of sub-
sequent bag or freight items from one another!
The X-ray images of baggage or freight items that have been placed too close to one another will
be unintentionally comprised in one single X-ray image!
In the case of an X-ray unit equipped with a radioactivity detector* and if radioactivity is detected,
the X-ray images of all objects adjacent to the one in which radioactivity has been detected will be
also marked by frames, if such objects have been placed too close together on the conveyor belt!
