Specifications

Faster Screening Operations

The PD240 features a wide search area and an extended detection range, enabling faster security screening than conventional handheld metal detectors. The larger detection field reduces the number of scanning passes required per person. This improves checkpoint throughput in high-volume screening environments. Long detection range allows threats to be detected at greater distances from the detector surface. Ideal for airports, stadium security, and large public venues.

Advanced Interference Rejection

The PD240 is designed to operate close to metal-reinforced floors without detection interference. Advanced signal processing distinguishes between structural metal and real threats. This prevents false alarms caused by reinforced concrete flooring. Detection sensitivity remains fully maintained even near steel structures. Critical for modern buildings, transportation hubs, and infrastructure facilities.

Current and Draft Standard Conformity

The PD240 complies with NIJ Standard 0602.02 and aligns with the NIJ 0602.03 draft standard for professional hand-held metal detectors. Certification validates performance for law enforcement, correctional facilities, and airport security screening. The detector provides uniform sensitivity to magnetic and non-magnetic metals, including stainless steel. Compliance ensures compatibility with current and evolving security regulations. Supports deployment across federal, state, and local security operations.

Rechargeable Battery System

The PD240 uses two AA-size rechargeable NiMH batteries providing more than 100 hours of continuous operation. Automatic Low Power Mode extends runtime up to 200 hours during screening pauses. Rechargeable batteries eliminate disposable battery costs. Fast charging through the docking station allows quick detector rotation between shifts. This system reduces operational maintenance and supports continuous security screening operations.

Full Digital Calibration-Free Detection

The PD240 uses a fully digital detection architecture that ensures stable and repeatable performance. Calibration-free operation eliminates periodic adjustments required by analog detectors. Detection sensitivity remains consistent across the entire operating temperature range. Digital signal processing improves reliability in complex screening environments. The design ensures long-term accuracy for professional security operations.
