View Key Features

Long Detection Range

The PD240CB provides an extended detection range, enabling standoff inspection during security screening. Operators can identify threats at greater distances from the detector surface. This capability improves operator safety during tactical inspections and high-risk screening environments. Long-range detection reduces the need for close contact during inspections. Ideal for law enforcement, corrections, and aviation security operations.

Faster Screening Operations

The PD240CB features a large detection area that reduces the number of scans required per person. Fewer passes allow faster passenger processing without compromising detection accuracy. Wide search coverage minimizes blind spots during inspection procedures. This improves throughput in high-traffic screening environments. Ideal for airports, stadium security, and large public venues.

Exceeds Current and Draft Standards

The PD240CB exceeds NIJ 0602.02 detection requirements and complies with the NIJ 0602.03 draft standard. Certification validates high-performance detection for law enforcement and correctional 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.

Advanced Interference Rejection

Advanced signal processing enables reliable screening near metal-reinforced floors without sensitivity reduction. The detector distinguishes structural metal from real threats. This prevents false alarms caused by reinforced concrete construction. Detection sensitivity remains consistent regardless of floor composition. Critical for modern buildings, transportation hubs, and infrastructure facilities.

Rechargeable Battery System

The PD240CB operates on two AA-size NiMH rechargeable batteries providing 50+ hours of continuous operation. Automatic Low Power Mode extends runtime up to 100 hours during screening pauses. Rechargeable batteries eliminate disposable battery costs. Fast charging through the docking station completes a recharge in less than five hours. This system ensures continuous readiness for professional security screening operations.
