Product Information

Designed for Weapon Screening and Asset Protection.

Highly Rated By US Federal Aviation Administration.

The US Federal Aviation Administration in their Report DOT/FAA/CT-95/49 titled "Screening With Hand-Held Metal Detectors."* rated the Model 1000 highly. Products produced by the world's leading manufacturers were evaluated. Twenty-six experienced airport security officers rated fourteen of the most commonly used products. The following factors were included in the testers' assessment:

• Weight and length of wand
• Alarm sound
• Ability to detect metal objects
• Wand maneuverability
• Position of controls
• Wand grip (handle) comfort
• Overall wand assessment

Four products were judged significantly better than the rest. The Model 1000 was one of them. In addition, it was the only unit in the top four that fell within the FAA's low cost (less than $175.00) category.

Suitable For a Diverse Range of Security Applications: A user adjustable sensitivity control permits the Model 1000 to be used with optimum efficiency for a range of security applications. When screening for handguns the sensitivity can be lowered to avoid unwanted alarms from smaller, harmless objects. It allows a non-intrusive hands-off search that minimizes physical contact with the subject.

The Model 1000's high sensitivity is invaluable in loss prevention applications where small metal objects must be protected. Jewelry, electronic products, computer processors, tools, etc. can be detected.

High Efficiency Screening Cuts Operator Fatigue: The lightweight construction, comfortable grip, large scanning surface, tight detection pattern, fast detection circuitry, de-sensitizing feature and ergonomic design all contribute to higher efficiency screening and reduced operator fatigue.

Electronics

• The advanced automatic tuning transmit/receive circuitry is housed in a rugged high impact ABS plastic case and detects ferrous and non-ferrous metals and alloys.
• The unit's de-sensitivity feature and tight detection pattern help to reduce false alarms when the scanner is used to screen at ankle height and in the vicinity of floors with re-bar.
• Sensitivity adjustments are made through a screw driver access hole in handle. This reduces the potential for tampering or inadvertent adjustment.

Alarm Indicators

A high efficiency piezo electric beeper and LED visual indicator operate when the scanner is passed over metal. They remain activated while the search coil is over a metal object. The duration of the alarm is indicative of the size of the object. The recently upgraded audio alarm has a signal intensity of 95 db at 11.8" (30cm) in free air.

Power Requirement

Unit is powered from a standard 9V disposable alkaline battery, or an optional NiCad rechargeable cell with external charger. Typical disposable battery life is 80 hours. Unit consumes 5 mA quiescent current and a maximum of 35 mA when audio and visual alarms are activated.

Low Battery Warning

Low voltage conditions are indicated when LED lamp flashes and steady state beeper tone changes to a warbling sound.
