1. PREFACE 92102916 REV 5
Definition of terms
Some special terms used in this manual are explained below.
WTMD - Walk Through Metal Detector
Sensitivity - Parameter for defining the size of the metal items that will generate an
alarm. When sensitivity is increased smaller metal items will be detected.
Discrimination - The WTMD’s ability to differentiate harmless items from
weapons. The alarm rate of a WTMD at a security check point indicates the
discrimination ability of the equipment. Discrimination is affected by several
factors e.g. sensitivity level, passenger profile, season (cold or warm) etc.
Unwanted alarm - (=nuisance alarm). Alarm caused by harmless metal items that
people carry with them through the WTMD.
False alarm - Alarm caused by some other reason than metal objects (e.g.
electrical interferences). Alarms caused by metal objects (wanted or unwanted) are
not false in the case of a metal detector.
Alarm rate - The amount of alarms due to metal items as a percentage of the total
number of people passing through the WTMD. The alarm rate is affected by the
discrimination ability of the WTMD. If discrimination is poor i.e. there are a lot of
alarms due to harmless items the alarm rate is higher. Note! Alarms caused by
electrical interferences or reasons other than items taken through the WTMD,
are not included in the alarm rate.
Throughput rate - The maximum number of people in a given time that can pass
through without affecting the detection performance of the WTMD. Represents the
WTMD’s ability to return to stand-by condition after a person has walked through.
In practice, the maximum throughput rate is only theoretical and can usually not be
reached because it is limited by the checking prosedure and maximum walking
speed of people.
Object speed response - The ability of a WTMD to maintain the sensitivity level
unchanged when people pass through at different speeds.
Calibration - Procedure to set the parameter values of the WTMD for reaching the
optimal performance according to the requirements of the application.
Side-by-side use - Two or more WTMDs are operated so closely-spaced that their
electromagnetic fields affect each other’s operation. The effect of the adjacent
WTMD can be minimized by using different operating frequencies.

Metor 6M PAGE 5
92102916 REV 5 1. PREFACE
Operating frequency - The frequency of the electromagnetic field generated by a

WTMD. Usually WTMDs have several different operating frequencies. When
calibrating a WTMD at the installation site the operating frequency with lowest
interference level is chosen. Several operating frequencies enable also side-by-side
use of multiple WTMD without synchronization cables.
Detection uniformity - The ability of a WTMD to maintain uniform sensitivity
throughout the whole detection area regardless of the shape and orientation of the
metal item. Detection uniformity directly affects the discrimination capability of a
WTMD. The sensitivity of a WTMD is usually set according to the weakest
position of the detection area. In case of poor detection uniformity this may lead to
unnecessary high sensitivity in other parts of the passage, considerably degrading
discrimination. When the detection uniformity of a WTMD is tested it should
always be done with real objects e.g. a weapon, or their simulators. Cylinders or
spheres as test items can give wrong indications on the true detection uniformity of
a WTMD.
Interference immunity - The operation of a WTMD can be affected by electrical
or mechanical interferences. Electrical interferences are caused by other electrical
equipment which are usually located near the installation site. Electrical
interferences can be conducted through the mains power line or radiated.
Mechanical interferences are caused by e.g. moving metal items near the WTMD
or vibrating behind wall or underneath floor constructions. Good interference
immunity can only be achieved through effective hardware and software filtering
as well as specialized coil design.
Critical test object - The most difficult object to be detected from a group of test
objects. Requires the highest sensitivity for detection.

92102916 REV 5 5. INSTALLATION SITE
5. INSTALLATION SITE
When planning the installation site of the Metor 6M there are a few important
things that should be considered. The optimum operation of the WTMD as well as
maximum traffic flow at the security checkpoint can be ensured only when these
factors have been taken into account.
Installation recommendations
It is important to minimize the effect of different sources of interference that may
have an influence on the operation of the WTMD. The following recommendations
should be considered when selecting the installation site.
> 20 cm (8 in) Static metal

Large static or stationary metal objects
should be at least 20 cm (8 in) away from
the WTMD. The effect on sensitivity is small
but may make the WTMD more prone to
the effects of vibration.
Floor vibration
The floor should be even and solidly
supported to prevent vibration. Especially
when there are vibrating metal
constructions beneath the floor, people
walking through the WTMD can cause
unnecessary alarms.
Moving metal objects

Large moving metal objects outside the
WTMD should be kept 0.5 - 2 m (20 - 79 in)
away from the WTMD to avoid false alarms.
The required distance between the moving
metal and the WTMD may vary depending
on the size of the metal object.
> 0.5 - 2 m (20 - 79 in)

PAGE 14 Metor 6M
5. INSTALLATION SITE 92102916 REV 5
Radiated electrical interferences

The distance between electrical
interference sources and the receiver coil
should be maximized. Recommended
minimum distance is from 0.5 m to 4 m
(20 in - 157 in). However, the exact
distance has to be determined for each
case separately, i.e. by moving the WTMD
and the interference source in respect to
each other until the optimal position is
found.
Interference may be generated by electrical
control panels, radio and computer
equipment, video monitors, powerful
> 0.5 (20 in) electric motors and transformers, AC power
lines, thyristor control circuits, flickering
fluorescent lighting, and arc welding
equipment.
Conducted electrical interferences
Plug the power cord to a line not sharing
any heavy loads, like large electric motors.
They can cause major power or voltage
surges in the line.
When the equipment is in ready state, and no more than 2 - 4 boxes are
NOTICE flashing on the display, the distance to sources of interference is sufficient.

Recommended minimum distances

from interference sources

> 0.5 - 2 m / 20 - 79 in.
> 0.2 m / 8 in.
A
B A: Distance from static metal
B: No moving metal objects
C C: No electrical interference sources
The above distances are recommendations. The final installation distances

NOTICE are determined by the installation site.
Always install the equipment so that the receiver panel (MRXS) is further
NOTICE away from the source of interference.

PAGE 16 Metor 6M
Checkpoint layout
The layout of a security checkpoint should be planned carefully before installing
the equipment in order to maximize the traffic flow. In addition to the
considerations regarding mechanical and electrical interferences (See “Installation
recommendations” on page 13.) at the installation site, operative security checking
should be organized properly. The functionality of a checkpoint is very much
affected by the following:
• Queuing to enter the WTMD should be arranged so that only one person is
inside the WTMD at a time
• The searching of detected metal objects should not disturb the normal checking
of the WTMD.
• The checking of hand luggage should be arranged so that it does not cause false
alarms
Example of security checkpoint layout
Metal detector
Rx
No alarm
Tx
Table for keys etc. Alarm
X-ray machine
for luggage
Luggage
Searching area for
detected objects
• If no X-ray equipment is available, luggage should be examined by hand.

• Alternatively, items can be left in lockers located before the metal detector, if no
examination can be arranged or is not desired (e.g. offices, banks).
• The passage past the gate should always be arranged from the receiver panel
(RX) side as the magnetic field from the metal detector is there weakest.

Metor 6M PAGE 17
Side-by-side operation
Side-by-side operation means that two or more metal detectors operate close to
each other. When operated side-by-side, WTMDs (Walk Through Metal Detectors)
may interfere with each other to some extent. The level of interference depends on
the distance between the WTMDs, their operating frequency and sensitivity. Metor
6M has ten different operating frequencies. All the operating frequencies are
suitable for side-by-side use.
Installation
• Install WTMDs as illustrated in the figure.
• In order to reach the minimum side-by-
side distance place two Rx panels or Tx
panels closests to each other. (If possible

and maximise the distance between Tx
panels.)
• Install the Tx panel closer to the possible
interference source.
• Use frequency combination which gives

Side-by-side operating distances depend on the sensitivity level and frequency

combinations used. The minimum operating distances are determined in each case
NOTICE separately at the installation site.

PAGE 18 Metor 6M
Frequency selection
In side-by-side situation frequency auto search or manual frequency selection can
be used (see example below). If frequency auto search function is used there might
be temporary interferences among earlier WTMDs during the search. It is not
recommended to use search in start-up in side-by-side operation (see chapter
Calibration).
Example:
1. Switch on WTMD 1 (all the other WTMDs are switched off except WTMD 1).
Select frequency F1.
2. Switch on WTMD 2 (all the other WTMDs are switched off except WTMD 1
and WTMD 2). Select frequency F2.
3. Continue as stated above selecting always a frequency that is not in use in
WTMDs already swithced on or a frequency of a WTMD several units away.
If you have more than ten WTMDs side-by-side, use frequency that is in use in
furthermost WTMD. Use frequency combination which gives lowest
interference level.
• When choosing frequency max. 2 - 4 boxes should be illuminated.
• If more than 4 boxes are illuminated choose a frequency that is not yet in use, or
the frequency that is in use in the furthermost WTMD.

Calibration procedure
1. CHOOSE OPERATING FREQUENCY

Choose a frequency which gives the least background
interference level. It is recommended to use frequency
auto search function. Also manual frequency search can
be used. Frequency setting should be changed when
several WTMDs are used side-by-side (acceptable
background interference level is max. 2 - 4 illuminated
boxes).
2. SET SPEED RESPONSE

The speed response setting affects detecting sensitivity
when the speed of the object differs from normal walking
speed. Normally you don't have to change this setting
from the factory value.
3. CHOOSE DETECTION PROGRAM,

DEFINE THREAT ENVIRONMENT
Select threatening objects that are most likely to be
detected in real operation. Define also a comprehensive
set of harmless objects you want to discriminate.
4. SET DETECTION SENSITIVITY

First set overall sensitivity and then floor level sensitivity.
Do not use higher sensitivity setting than required
because it also affects interference immunity of the WTMD.
5. SELECT
Select one detection program that gives the lowest metal
signal when different harmless objecs are taken through the
WTMD.
6. TEST
Check the condition of the equipment daily

Metor 6M PAGE 31
92102916 REV 5 8. CALIBRATION
The purpose of calibration is to set the WTMD's operating characteristics to meet

the required security level. The calibration is done before the introduction of the
WTMD at the security check point. Before calibration the detection requirements
have to be determined i.e. what are the most likely threat objects. The reference
objects representative of the threat level should be selected for the calibration of
the WTMD.
Before commencing calibration

Start the calibration of the equipment by choosing a suitable operating frequency.
This means selecting the frequency that gives enough low background interference
level.
1. Make sure that the metal detector is installed according to the instructions in
this manual.
2. Make sure that you are not wearing any articles of clothing that contain metal
parts, such as a belt, footwear with metal reinforcing, etc., and that you have no
metal objects in your pockets.
NOTICE Read through the whole chapter before commencing calibration.

Start the calibration of the equipment by choosing a suitable operating frequency.

This means selecting for the frequency that gives enough low background
interference level. It is recommended to use frequency auto search function. Also
manual frequency search can be used.
Frequency setting should be changed when background interference level is too
high or several units are used side-by-side.
Interference may be caused by other electric devices near the installation site, or
another metal detector in side-by-side operation (See "Side-by-side operation" on
page 17). A suitable operating frequency may vary depending on the installation
environment and the sources of interference.
While searching for the frequency, you can increase the sensitivity level so that the
differences between frequencies are easier to observe. See also "Manual setting of
overall sensitivity" on page 39.
1. Set operating frequency F1 into use.
2. Observe the number of bright boxes illuminating on the display.
3. Select each operating frequency (F1 - F10) one at a time, and observe the
amount of background interference on the display. For optimal operation of the
equipment, the number of illuminating bright boxes should not exceed 2 - 4
when nobody is passing through the gate.
4. Set into use the operating frequency that gives the smallest number of bright
boxes illuminating on the signal display.
Frequency search
Set Frequency (1.3.1) has in addition to a number of manually selected frequencies
a frequency search feature as the first frequency item, that automates the frequency
search.
During a frequency search it is not recommended to have any metal objects around
the WTMD device. Frequency auto search can be executed every time the device
is powered up if the search in start-up (1.3.2) function is enabled.
It is not recommended to use search in start-up in side-by-side operation, because
during frequency search units nearby may be disturbed.

The ability of the Walk Through Metal Detector to maintain the detection
performance at different object speeds is called object speed response. The object
speed response of the Metor 6M can be affected by two parameters: High Speed
and Low Speed. In practice, the effect of these parameters can be noticed only at
the extreme limits of object speeds, i.e. at very fast and very slow speeds. At
normal walking speeds the effect of these parameters is very small.
Hi Speed setting influences the detection ability of the Metor 6M at very high
object speeds. This parameter can be set from H1 to H2. The fastest speed response
is achieved with Hi Speed setting H2. The factory setting is H1 which covers the
highest normal walking speed.
Lo Speed setting influences the detection ability of the Metor 6M at very slow
object speeds. This parameter can be set from L1 to L2. The lowest speed response
is achieved with Lo Speed setting L1. The factory setting is L2 which covers the
lowest normal walking speed.
The Hi Speed setting also affects attenuation of electrical interferences. When the
value is increased, interference attenuation is lower. Due to the effect on
interference attenuation, the Hi Speed parameter should not be set to a higher value
than required for the application. The Lo Speed setting does not have any effect on
the attenuation of electrical interference.
NOTICE In normal use these settings generally need no adjustments.

1.2 PROGRAM
Detection programs of the Metor 6M are divided into three groups:

1. Metor Security Programs. The group contains detection programs that are
intended for general security use. The programs are designed to detect threat
items made of various alloys (magnetic or non-magnetic) or a combination of
alloys (magnetic and non-magnetic).
2. International Security Programs. This group contains detection programs that
are designed according to the requirements of various security organizations
and security standards.
3. Material Selective Programs. The third group contains material selective
detection programs that are suited pilferage applications and for applications
where a specific object(s) needs to be detected as well as security applications.

Metor 6M contains various detection programs. It is recommended that you

compare different programs unless you select a program based on the requirements
of a security organization that you are familiar with. When comparing different
programs use various threatening and harmless objects relevant to your
application.
Test objects
When performing calibration use also several different threatening and harmless
objects relevant to your application.
Choosing threatening objects

For the tests, choose the threatening
objects that are the most likely to be
detected. Usually these include various
hand guns or knives. Choose at least 3-5
different objects. The objects should be
made of different metals, both magnetic
and non-magnetic. (You can identify
magnetic metals and non-magnetic metals
using a magnet: a magnet attracts
magnetic metals but not non-magnetic
metals.)
Remember that the required detecting
sensitivity especially with small knives
made of non-magnetic metal is generally
considerably higher than that for the
detection of hand guns. This will also
increase the number of unwanted alarms
caused by harmless objects.
Choosing harmless objects

In addition to threatening objects, define
also a comprehensive set of harmless
objects that you can use for testing
discriminating capacity during calibration.
Harmless objects may include for example
footwear with metal reinforcing, a bunch of
keys, a belt buckle, eyewear with metal
temples etc.

PAGE 38 Metor 6M
Setting detection sensitivity

The purpose of the detection sensitivity setting is to find the lowest sensitivity
setting that still reliably detects the test objects using the detection program in
question. This way it is possible to reach high throughput rates, because unwanted
alarms caused by harmless objects are minimized.
The sensitivity setting also affects interference immunity of the WTMD. Therefore
it is not recommended to use a higher sensitivity setting than required for the
application.
To adjust detection sensitivity test objects should be taken through the gate
attached to different parts of the body and at various orientations.
The adjustment of detecting sensitivity is

done in two phases. Overall sensitivity is
defined first, either manually or using
automatic sensitivity adjustment, except at
ankle level (1).
In the second phase (2) sensitivity at
ankle level is defined (Zone sensitivities).
Sensitivity is adjusted manually or using
automatic floor sensitivity adjustment.
Ankle level sensitivity (2)

shall always be calibrated
separately, because floor
NOTICE structures usually contain
metal reinforcements that
may affect the sensitivity
setting.

The amount and orientation of the metal in
the floor in relation to the gate varies
between different installation sites.
Therefore, the required sensitivity setting at
floor level may also vary.

Function (recommended)
1. Select Auto Sensitivity function
2. Walk through the WTMD with the critical test object. After
each pass the display shows the total number of walks, the
sensitivity needed to alarm on the last walk and the
sensitivity needed to alarms on all walks.
Wait a couple of seconds between successive walks. Walk in
the direction of intended use of the WTMD. In the case of
bidirectional use walk in both directions.
The display of the last sensitivity value can be used to
determine the critical test object. Concentrate on those test
objects that need highest sensitivity values. Take them through
the WTMD in several positions and orientations.
When you have finished walking press OK to accept the new

sensitivity setting. A minimum of three (3) walks is needed. If
you choose to exit without accepting the new sensitivity setting,
press C . If there are no walks in five (5) minutes, the WTMD
will return to normal operation mode without changing the
sensitivity.
In case the detection program is not suitable for the test object
and the required sensitivity would be over the set range a
warning is given. Exit auto sensitivity mode and choose a
different program.

Setting floor level sensitivity

The sensitivity of the equipment at floor level is checked and adjusted separately
when the overall sensitivity of the gate has been adjusted.
After adjusting overall sensitivity, attach the critical test object to the ankle and test
detection by walking through the gate. Walk through the gate for a minimum of
two manners: by placing down the foot with the test object at the middle of the gate
(Fig. 1), and by swinging the foot through the gate (Fig. 2).
1 2
If the test object is reliably detected by the gate, repeat the test for the rest of the
test objects. If some test objects are not detected or the sensitivity seems to be too
high at floor level, adjust the floor level sensitivity according to the procedure
below.

Metor 6M PAGE 41
Setting Floor Level Sensitivity using Auto Floor Sensitivity Function (recommended)
PARAMETERS
1. Select Auto Floor Sensitivity function.

2. Walk through the WTMD with a test object attached to your ankle. Walk
through the gate at least two different manners: by placing down the foot with
the test object at the middle of the gate (Fig. 1), and by swinging the foot
through the gate (Fig. 2). After each pass the display shows the total number of
walks, the zone detecting the object better and its sensitivity value needed to
cause an alarm on the last walk.
Wait a couple of seconds between successive walks. If necessary repeat with
another test object. Walk in the direction of intended use of the WTMD. In the case
of bidirectional use walk in both directions.
When you have finished walking press OK to accept the new floor level
sensitivity setting. A minimum of three (3) walks is needed. If you choose to exit
without accepting the new sensitivity setting, press C . If there are no walks in
five (5) minutes, the WTMD will return to the normal operation mode without
changing the floor level sensitivity.
In case the detection program is not suited for the test object and the required
sensitivity would be over the set range a warning is given. Exit auto floor
sensitivity mode and choose a different program.

Manual setting of Floor Level Sensitivity
Phase 1
Walk through the gate placing down the foot with the test piece
at the middle of the gate. Seek the lower limit settings that
detect the test object reliably.
1. Test detection by walking through the gate.
2. Adjust ZONE 1 and ZONE 2 sensitivities as follows:
2.1 If the test object caused an alarm each time, first lower
ZONE 1 sensitivity until no alarm. Repeat for ZONE 2.
Select lowest values that cause alarm reliably.
2.2 If the test object did not cause an alarm, first increase
ZONE 1 sensitivity until you get an alarm. Reset
ZONE 1 to original value and increase ZONE 2
sensitivity. Select lower of the two values.
Phase 2
Walk through the gate so that the foot with the test object is
swung at the gate. Seek the lower limit settings at which the
test object is reliably detected.
1. Test detection by walking through the gate.
2. Adjust ZONE 1 and ZONE 2 sensitivity as follows:
2.1 If the test object did not cause an alarm increase first
ZONE 1 sensitivity until you get an alarm. Reset
ZONE 1 to original value and increase ZONE 2
sensitivity. Select lower of the two values.
3. Check calibration by taking test objects through the gate.

Metor 6M PAGE 43
Setting sensitivity of zones

If you want to change the sensitivity of a certain zone to a different level than the
others, use the zone sensitivity adjustment.
• The adjustment of zone sensitivity does not affect the overall sensitivity of the
equipment.
• Adjustment of zone sensitivity is usually used only in situations where, for
example, a large static metal object is very close to the gate.
• In most cases, there is no need to change the sensitivity of separate zones,
except when adjusting ankle level sensitivity.
Sometimes zone sensitivities can be used to improve throughput. For example, if
critical position of the critical object, i.e. position where critical object gives
smallest signal, happens to be over the head, it is better to increase zone sensitivity
of corresponding zone and leave overall sensitivity lower than to increase overall
sensitivity.
Selection of detecting program
Compare signals of typical harmless objects with the different detection programs
you have selected. Choose the detection program that gives least signal from the
harmless objects.
Testing
Check daily e.g. when switching on the equipment:
1. The functioning of the WTMD
• Using, for instance, one test object.
2. The mechanical mounting of the WTMD
• Parallelism of coils and tightness of mounting screws. See "Mechanical
assembly" on page 19.
3. The visual inspection
• Mechanical condition, cables etc.
The Metor 6M is ready for operation after the mechanical installation, connections
and adjustments have been completed. The adjustments that effect the performance
of the detector should be correctly made to optimize the operation for each
application.

Random Alarm
The random alarm operation is based on groups of 100 non-alarming people
passing through the detector. The number of random alarms is a set percentage of
every group of 100 non-alarming passes. Random alarms are generated with a 1%
accuracy.
E.g. Out of the 120 passes 20 people cause alarms by having metal objects with
them. 100 people pass through without activating the alarm. The random alarms
occur while the 100 non-alarming people go through. If the random alarm rate is
set to 15 %, 15 non-alarming people will cause a random alarm.
The count for 100 non-alarming passes is cleared every time when the counters are
cleared, MetorNet counter clear command is received or the random alarm rate is
adjusted.
Random alarm is indicated by:
• Flashing red light on the display unit
• Showing the alarm on the display according to the 1.7.5 RND DISPLAY setting
• Sounding an audible alarm, tone and volume depending on parameter settings
on 1.7.3 RND TONE and 1.7.4 RND VOLUME
• Lighting up the whole zone display

Random Alarm for Alarming People

The random alarm for alarming people (RDN/ALM) is based on groups of 100
alarming people passing through the detector. The number of random alarms is a
set percentage of every group of 100 alarming passes. Random alarms are
generated with a 1% accuracy.
E.g. Out of 1000 passes 100 people cause alarms. If the random for alarming
people is set to 10 %, 10 people out of the 100 will cause a random alarm.
The count for 100 alarming passes is cleared every time when the counters are
cleared, MetorNet counter clear command is received or the random alarm rate is
adjusted.
Before random alarm is activated normal alarm is given for a short period of time.
Random alarm for alarming people is indicated by:
• Flashing red light on the display unit
• Showing the alarm on the display according to the 1.7.5 RND DISPLAY setting
• Sounding an audible alarm, tone and volume depending on parameter settings
on 1.7.3 RND TONE and 1.7.4 RND VOLUME
• Lighting up the whole zone display
When using random alarms Decrease Mode should be set OFF as decreasing

the number of alarms.
The counters use IR transmitters and
receivers (1) shown in the illustration in the
Tx and Rx panel edge profiles.
A counter can be set to two different modes
of operation:
• the total reading increases in one
direction, but the traffic in the opposite
direction does not affect the reading, or
• the total reading increases in one
direction while the traffic in the opposite
direction decreases it.

Count Direction function 4.2.1
Function 4.2.1 Count Direction is used to
choose the direction of traffic flow. The
counter reading for persons will be added
only when people pass through this
direction.
Selecting "off" will turn the counters off, the
counter reading will not increase or
decrease.
Selecting ”DIR 1” the counter reading will
increase when people pass through so that
the Tx panel is on their right side.
Selecting ”DIR 2” increases the counter
reading when people pass through so that
Tx panel is on their left side.
To select the direction automatically,
function 4.2.1 is set to "auto". The first to
pass through will decide the counter
direction. If the first pass is made with
Tx panel on the right, counter direction will
be set to "DIR 1".

Standby Mode
When standby Mode is enabled pressing C for 2 seconds in normal operation it
will turn the unit into standby mode.
During standby:
• TX coils are turned off disabling metal detection.
• Traffic lights and possible power indications are turned off.
• MCDS/MDPS display is turned off.
• No alarms of people walking through the unit.
Pressing C again (2 seconds not needed) will resume normal operation.
I/O Config
The Metor 6M has two configurable digital I/O inputs and two configurable digital
I/O outputs.
Input configuration
The inputs can be configured as:
• No operation (OFF). This is default value.
• TAMPER SWITCH. When an optional tamper switch is connected to the input
and lid opened a tamper alarm is made. The “Invalid access” sound is turned on,
all lights turn red and the text “LID OPEN” is displayed until lid is closed again.
TAMPER alarm is stopped if the learn switch is pressed and continued after one
operation is done or time-out happens.
• MANUAL ALARM. When input is closed a normal alarm is made with all zone
segments turned on.
• ALARM INHIBIT. When input is closed no sound nor visual alarms are made.
The lightbar operates normally.
In case of two conflicting inputs the priority is following:
1. TAMPER
2. MANUAL ALARM
3. ALARM INHIBIT
If both inputs are configured for same operation an OR operation is made between
them.
Inputs have a pull-up resistor to 12 V. Maximum input voltage is 15 VDC.
Recommended connection is a switch that connects input (pin 1) to ground (pin 3).
See also next paragraph.
