The METAL-TEC HS-1500 helps reduce physical contact when searching subjects for weapons whereby reducing the chances of contracting viral infections. It's completely watertight and can be disinfected by using a mild soap cleanser, non-bleach disinfectants or rubbing alcohol on the surface.
Currently being used by U.S. and international military agencies, Homeland Security, state / local and federal law enforcement agencies, prisons, jails, correctional facilities, schools, hospitals, etc.
Advanced capabilities
Density Discrimination: This feature helps the user determine the possible threat level of the metal object being detected. The METAL-TEC correlates the detection distance based upon the amount of metal mass contained in the object. Larger objects such as guns have a larger metal mass and will be detected at a greater distance than smaller objects such as a Micro SD and SIM cards. This ability helps the user identify a possible threat based on the detection distance.
Vibration Signature: This feature helps the user determine the approximate physical shape of a possible hidden metal weapon being detected. After detecting metal on a subject take the METAL-TEC and turn it on end, pointing the tip toward the area in question, then move the METAL-TEC up and down (vertically) and side to side (horizontally) over the area. By observing where the vibration starts and stops while moving the METAL-TEC over the area, the user can determine the approximate shape and size of the hidden metal object.
Features
- A 360° field of detection can assist the user in locating, with pinpoint accuracy, metal objects which may have been otherwise overlooked.
- Requires only one hand for operation, it can be held between the forefinger and the thumb freeing up the rest of the hand during a search or frisking of a subject.
- Can detect a metal object, and pinpoint it’s location without the need for a constant sweeping motion.
- No adjustment necessary, sensitivity is factory preset and automatically compensates for temperature changes which may affect sensitivity.
