Frequently asked questions
Common questions about METAL DEFENDER from 3G Electric.
What zone configurations are available in METAL DEFENDER walk-through metal detectors?
METAL DEFENDER walk-through detectors are offered in several zone counts, including 1-zone (MD-1), 3-zone (TS-P1), 6-zone (MD-6 and MD-6-ADA), and 33-zone (MD-33) models. Higher zone counts provide more precise location information for detected metallic objects, which can help operators pinpoint threats. The choice of zone count depends on the required screening resolution and throughput. All models are standard walk-through units suitable for entrance screening.
What power options are available for METAL DEFENDER walk-through detectors?
METAL DEFENDER walk-through detectors are available with different power configurations. Some models, such as the MD-1, MD-6, and MD-33, are battery-operated using lithium-ion batteries. Others, like the TS-P1 and MD-6-ADA, are electrically corded with lithium-ion battery backup, allowing continued operation during power interruptions. The battery backup feature supports continuous screening without downtime. Replacement battery modules are available for compatible models.
What is the scan depth of the METAL DEFENDER MD-1001C handheld wand detector?
The METAL DEFENDER MD-1001C handheld wand detector has a scan depth of 1.5 inches. It measures 11.75 inches in length, 2.75 inches in width, and 1 inch in height. The unit provides a vibration alert upon detection and requires one 9V battery, which is not included. It is used as a supplemental screening tool alongside walk-through detectors or for manual inspection tasks.
Are replacement batteries available for METAL DEFENDER walk-through detectors?
Yes, replacement battery modules are available for METAL DEFENDER walk-through detectors. The MD6 battery module is designed for use with compatible Metal Defender walk-through metal detectors. It provides power for continuous security screening operations. Compatibility is limited to Metal Defender brand walk-through detectors. When ordering, verify the specific detector model to ensure the battery module matches the power requirements.
What are the dimensions of METAL DEFENDER walk-through metal detectors?
METAL DEFENDER walk-through detectors vary in dimensions by model. Examples include the TS-P1 at 86.625 in x 35.875 in x 35.875 in, the MD-1 at 87.25 in x 27.75 in x 16 in, the MD-6 at 87.5 in x 32 in x 15.5 in, and the MD-6-ADA at 87.5 in x 37.25 in x 15.5 in. These dimensions affect the required installation space and passage width. Review the specific model's dimensions to ensure fit with the intended entrance or checkpoint.
What types of alerts do METAL DEFENDER metal detectors provide?
METAL DEFENDER metal detectors provide either sound or light alerts, depending on the model. Walk-through models such as the TS-P1 and MD-6-ADA feature sound alerts, while the MD-1, MD-6, and MD-33 provide light alerts. The MD-1001C handheld wand detector uses a vibration alert. Alert type selection depends on the operating environment and operator preference, such as noisy areas where visual alerts are preferred or where discretion is required.
