Exclusion Zones
CWD hardware has two exclusion zones around the system.

• The first exclusion zone of 59.1 in. (150.0 cm) should be kept clear of large moving metal objects (for example: doors, mobility assist devices, escalators, etc.).
• The second exclusion zone of 29.5 in. (75.0 cm) should be kept clear of large metallic objects (for example: bike racks, fencing, stanchions, barrels, etc.).

The exclusion zones are measured from the outer surfaces of the TX and RX towers. These exclusion zones are intended as minimum guidelines; additional spacing might be required.
Note: Do not install the CWD hardware on floating or elevated floors that can introduce movement and vibration. Operational Footprint
Concealed Weapons Detection screens visitors as they walk through the lanes of the unit. It is important that the visitors walk straight through and not pause. Stanchions can be used to guide visitors through the lanes. Consideration should be given to the flow of visitors into and out of the CWD.
CWD systems support both Flow Control and Alarm Resolution tablets, typically one each per lane. Flow Control tablets are typically located to the rear 11.5 to 14.8 ft. (350.0 to 450.0 cm) from the back edge of the mat. Alarm Resolution tablets are typically located on a small table off to the side of each lane. Each Alarm Resolution station (table and tablet) typically requires 3.0 ft. x 4.0 ft. (91.4 cm x 121.9 cm) of space.
All tables are provided by others.
A 20 ft. CAT6 cable is provided with each additional tablet. All other Ethernet cables are provided by others.
The following is the operational footprint for the CWD system and describes the approximate scan zone, decisions zone, and recommended resolution zone. The exclusion zone is an area that should be free of people and moving objects, such as swinging doors.

through this zone in a straight line at a constant speed.
| Decision Zone – 100 cm (40 in)| A decision is provided 0.5 seconds after the visitor exits the Scan Zone.
| Exclusion Zone – 50 cm (20 in)| This is the area surrounding the Receiver Towers. Keep this area free of moving objects, except those being scanned.
| Resolution Zone| Additional tablets might be necessary to maintain flow in high throughput applications.

Express Dual-lane Operational Area (Typical)
The operational area of the Evolv Express is very configurable, enabling flexible installations. Below is a typical dual-lane installation.
The Flow Control tablets can be located off of the TX Tower (center of the area) and the Alarm Resolution stations can be located as needed, to accommodate the physical space. The width of a dual-lane installation can be as small as the width of the dual-lane Express, 10.9 ft. (331.7 cm). Single-Lane Operational Area (Typical)
The operational area of the CWD is very configurable, enabling flexible installations. Below is a typical single-lane installation.
The Flow Control tablets can be located off of the TX Tower (center of the area) and the Alarm Resolution stations can be located as needed, to accommodate the physical space. The width of a single-lane installation can be as small as the width of the single-lane CWD, 6.2 ft. (187.5 cm). Multiple Systems – Minimum Separation
Multiple CWD systems must be separated by at least 78.7 in. (200.0 cm).
Increase the separation between systems to handle large volumes of visitors, or to accommodate Alarm Resolution stations. Power Specifications
System Power
The CWD power requirements are:

• Voltage: 115-230 VAC +/-10%
• Phase: single Phase
• Circuit (minimum): 5 Amps
• Consumption (typical): 170 W-200 W

The CWD comes with a standard IEC 320 (S15 Variant) inlet socket for the power connection. A detachable 15 ft. power cord (shipped with the CWD) is supplied for connecting the TX Tower to the power outlet. One end of the power cord supports an IEC 320 (S15 Variant) connector while the other end supports local AC power plug requirements.
Approximately 9 feet of the power cord will be exposed when run under a Lane 1 or Lane 2 mat.
All other power sockets, plugs, or cords are provided by others.
Tablet Power
CWD provides (6) RJ45 ports on the base of TX Tower. Each RJ45 provides communication and power via Power over Ethernet (PoE) to one Tablet. The RJ45 ports are redundant; only one port per tablet is required.
All other Ethernet cables and accessories are provided by others.
Front and Rear (F/R) Situational Awareness Cameras
CWD provides front and rear situational awareness cameras that can be connected, configured, and controlled by an external video management system (VMS). These cameras can be accessed via an independent RJ45 port labeled “FR CAM” on the base of the TX Tower. These cameras are separate from the Alarm Resolution camera(s). They are operated by an independent camera hub in the system that is only accessible via that port.
These cameras are Micro Bullet Imager Modules from the Avigilon H5A Modular Camera Line.
More information can be downloaded from Avigilon at: https://www.avigilon.com/products/camerassensors/h5a-modular.
Additionally,
you can view the output and configure these cameras with the Motorola Solutions Camera
Configuration Tool (CCT). Download CCT at: https://www.avigilon.com/products/camerassensors/camera.
Specifications for Surfaces
The CWD system requires a stable and level surface to support proper operation and screening.
Cement, wood, tile, rubber, and carpeted surfaces are all acceptable; however, they must be stable with limited vibration.
The CWD can be deployed on any surface that is ADA compliant. Every effort should be made to install all three CWD towers as plumb as possible. The maximum angle of any RX or TX Tower, as measured by its largest outer surface, is 5 degrees.
Outdoor installations must be secured to a stable surface, per the “Floor Mounting an Express System (P1)” procedure.
Lighting Specifications
The CWD requires sufficient ambient lighting for capturing clear digital images of visitors walking through the system. The CWD can operate in most settings, whether there is direct natural light or artificial light; however, some very low lighting conditions may require additional lighting. If lighting needs to be added in proximity to or above the system for better visibility, use LED lighting.

through shading
Bright| Mix of indirect, natural light| -800 to -4,500| Might need to reduce LUX through shading
Normal| Sufficient artificial light| -100 to -800| Determine the best setting on site
Low| Dim to relatively low artificial light| -15 to -100| Might need to add artificial light
Very low| Very dim artificial light| -0 to -15| Likely need to add artificial light

Environmental Specifications

• Ingress Protection—Evolv Express supports Standard (indoor) and Outdoor rated Ingress Protection.
  – Standard IP54
  – Outdoor IP56—Power and data connectors are IP67, resisting water ingress up to 6in. (15cm)

• Operating Temperature—Range of -20 to +55°C (-4 to 131°F)

• Storage Temperature—Range of -40 to +70°C (-40 to 158°F)

• Relative Humidity—Range of 0 to 95% (Standard system – non-condensing, Outdoor system – condensing)

• Wind—mitigate the effects of wind using the following precautions:
  – To reduce the risk of tipping over during wind the Evolv Express towers must be secured to the ground using bolts. If wind or wind gusts exceed 35 MPH the Evolv Express must be removed and stored in a location protected from the wind.
  – To minimize the effects of wind during operation walls or wind barriers should be installed. If CWD cannot be protected from winds of 15 MPH or more alternative screening procedures may be required. This applies even if the system is secured to the ground.

See the current version of the Concealed Weapons Detection Specification Sheet for the latest environmental specifications.

Securing the CWD System to the Floor

The CWD system must be bolted (secured) to the floor or surface for installations where the TX or RX towers are at risk for tipping or falling due to visitor traffic and/or weather.
This procedure is intended to serve as a general guideline. Variants might be required due to considerations including: different types of floors or surfaces, slopes, and whether mats are used.
The drilling and installation of anchors in this section are to be performed by others/site representatives.
Securing the CWD system to the floor is to be directed by an Motorola Solutions representative.
Note: Do not change the scanner location if ACC alarms have been created for this scanner without coordinating with the ACC System administrator. After the location settings have been defined, they should not be redefined (for example when relocating a scanner) without consulting the ACC administrator because the corresponding alarm names must also be changed.
Tools and Materials
Ensure the items below were included in your Outdoor Bolt-Down kit bag that was included with the CWD system.

Other materials required for outdoor installation of the Express system are:

• Power drill (corded power drill is recommended)
• 1/2 in. Concrete drill bit
• 9/16 in. Deep socket and ratchet
• Hammer

Concrete Pad Specifications
MSI recommends pouring a concrete pad with the dimensions illustrated below before installing concrete anchors. The concrete used should have with a minimum compressive strength of 4000 psi. The top surface of the concrete slab should be as flush with the surrounding surface as possible. Anchoring the CWD System

1. Mark the locations for the threaded anchors by one of the following methods:
   l Using the dimensions in the image in the section titled Securing the CWD System to the Floor, mark the locations for the threaded anchors in the concrete.
   l Set up the CWD system in its desired location, and mark the locations for the threaded anchors on the surface by sticking a punch or permanent marker through the holes in the base plates.

2. Using the ½” concrete drill bit, create a ½” bore to a minimum depth of 1-9/16” (1.5625”).

3. Clean out the hole of any debris.

4. Using the provided anchor tool, drop the anchors into the ½” bore and hammer the anchors down until the shoulder of the anchor tool is flush with the top of the anchor. Alternatively, you can use this video link as guidance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6eENSixo94.

5. Move the CWD system to the desired location, check that the anchors line up with the pre-drilled holes in the base plates.

6. Every foot on each tower must be in its correct position.
   The bottom of the base plate on each tower should be roughly 1.5” above the ground, depending on the type of floor or surface and how level it is.

7. Bolt the TX Tower down using two of the 3/8” Hex head bolts and two of the 3/8” fender washers.

8. Bolt both RX towers down with two 3/8” Hex head bolts and two standard 3/8” washers per RXTower (four total bolts and four total washers)

9. Secure the RX and TX Towers using two bolts on each tower. While tightening the bolts, ensure that the tower maintains its position by checking the feet relative to the marks and confirming that it is still level. Adjust the height and location of the feet, as necessary.

10. Complete the installation, as required.
