Unobtrusive detectors assist in loss prevention

Modern technology enables you to find solutions to reduce that risk for your staff and clients. It is with this in mind, Emergency Reaction Services, local representative of the Ranger series of access control products, has introduced the new Ranger multizone metal detectors.

These detectors allow one to walk through the detector with normal quantities of keys and coins, without triggering the alarm. Walk through with a weapon and the alarm triggers. The various zones scan the different areas of your body independently, ignoring small harmless objects. The detectors have a built in display that pinpoints the location of one or more weapons at a glance, saving labour costs at checkpoints. Some clients have reduced check point staff by as much as 60%.

Ranger walk-through detectors are available in two, six and 18 zones. Ranger also supplies weatherproof and portable models, ideal for conferences, conventions, trade shows, sports events etc. The Ranger detectors also include 20 built-in programmes. One can select to detect items such as guns and/or small knives, laptop computers, SIMMs and processors, copper, brass, etc, while ignoring other harmless metal objects. The programme can be changed in seconds so one can use the detectors to monitor for weapons on the way in and then to check staff for assets on the way out. Another unique feature is the range of site settings that include adjustments for metal in flooring or dry walls.

Another product in the Ranger stable, the Ranger handheld metal detector is highly rated by the FAA. (US Federal Aviation Administration) It can detect a medium pistol at 300 mm (12"), a 486 processor at 100 mm (4") and a hat pin at 25 mm (1"). The Model 1000's high sensitivity is ideal in loss prevention applications where small metal objects must be protected. Jewellery, electronic products, computer processors, tools, etc, can be detected.
