Godrej GSCAN 33Z Installation, Power & Multi-Unit Setup Guidelines

Site Selection and Environmental Requirements

The Godrej GSCAN 33Z door frame metal detector (DFMD) is certified with an IP 65 ingress protection rating, making the rugged enclosure suitable for installation across both indoor and outdoor security screening checkpoints. The system operates reliably within a wide temperature range of -20°C to +55°C and withstands relative humidity levels up to 95% non-condensing. When selecting an installation footprint, ensure adequate floor clearance to accommodate the walk-through passage dimensions of 2040 mm internal height and 750 mm internal width. High-throughput transit planning should account for the unit's rated screening capacity of 20 persons per minute.

Mechanical Assembly and Positioning

The Godrej GSCAN 33Z has an approximate total weight of 70 kg and is engineered with detachable ABS laminated side panels designed to facilitate rapid transport and on-site assembly. The bottom base of each vertical panel is fitted with ABS plastic boots to protect the assembly from surface wear, ground moisture, and mechanical impact during transit. Assembly technicians should align the side panels squarely on a stable, level surface before locking the structural header into position. End-of-life decommission is supported by the unit's recyclable material construction.

Mains Power and Battery Backup Connection

Primary electrical input requires connection to a stable alternating current supply via the integrated internal switch mode power supply (SMPS), rated for 90–270V AC operation. For uninterrupted checkpoint operation during power fluctuations or complete outages, the GSCAN 33Z features an integral rechargeable battery backup subsystem with a built-in battery charger. The system accepts a 12V/7AH battery (they are not included) power source.

When a 12V/7AH battery (they are not included) is connected, the built-in charger automatically charges the battery (they are not included) internally during active AC mains operation. In the event of primary power loss, the system executes an automatic, seamless changeover to battery (they are not included) power to deliver over 8 hours of continuous threat detection. All operational parameters, zone configurations, and counts are retained in non-volatile RAM, preventing configuration loss during power cycles.

Interference Mitigation and Multi-Unit Configuration

The GSCAN 33Z is built with high immunity to external electromagnetic and electrical interference, allowing installation near operational security equipment such as checkpoint X-ray inspection systems, electric lines, transformers, chokes, and computer or CCTV monitors. For high-volume multi-lane checkpoints where multiple metal detectors are placed adjacent to one another, the detector provides 15 user-adjustable operating frequency levels. Setting adjacent detectors to distinct frequency channels prevents cross-talk and mutual induction without sacrificing threat localization.

System Commissioning and Network Setup

Commissioning requires minimal setup time due to the unit's automatic self-calibration architecture, which eliminates the requirement for initial or periodic manual calibration procedures. Network administrators can integrate the detector into facility management infrastructures using the built-in Ethernet-based PC connectivity port for remote programming and centralized throughput monitoring. Access to parameter configurations and sensitivity levels across all 33 scanning zones is restricted by mandatory password protection to prevent unauthorized adjustments.
