METAL
DETECTOR
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 this unit 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. This unit was one of them. In addition, it was the only unit in
the top four that fell within the FAA’s low cost category.

Sensitive, Rugged and Dependable
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.
Dimensions:
16”x 3 1/16”x 1 3/8”
(406 x 78 x 35 mm)
Weight:
14 ounce (400 g)
Warranty:
Two year limited warranty on parts and labor.
