ERS unveil new walkthrough metal detectors

March/April 2000 Access Control & Identity Management

Emergency Reaction Services unveiled the new generation Ranger walkthrough metal detectors at Securex 2000. The new high-speed detectors pinpoint the location of multiple weapons or contraband metal objects at a glance while ignoring harmless objects like keys and coins. The days of irate clients or employees emptying pockets and taking off jewellery before entering your area are over. Traffic flows of up to 50 people a minute are possible with considerable savings of manpower costs at checkpoints.

The new detectors include 20 built-in programs to select the detection of specific items such as guns and/or small knives, laptop computers, SIMMs and processors, copper, brass etc while ignoring other harmless metal objects.

Also available is the unique detection enhancement option. This allows customised detection profiles to be created for advanced weapon and asset protection applications. A program called Identiscan analyses metal objects that are passed through the detector. It generates a character signature for each object. Once a signature has been created for an object, its detection response can be precisely manipulated. Difficult to detect ferrous, nonferrous, stainless steel or composite objects can be specifically targeted while ignoring other metal objects.

Users can now program the detector to target specific items in a manufacturing process or warehouse and avoid staff or clients being inconvenienced by hand scanning. This has opened up a huge market in asset protection, says Morris Maram, the MD of Emergency Reaction Services.

Ranger walkthrough detectors are available in two, three, six and 18 zones. Ranger also supplies weatherproof and portable models ideal for conferences, conventions, trade shows, sports events etc.

Another highly acclaimed product is the unique body orifice security scanner. The BOSS chair is ideal for nonobtrusive location of contraband metal objects inserted in the mouth or in body cavities or underwear. They are ideal for use in prisons, precision metal refineries, jewellery manufacturing, mines and coin counting areas. The BOSS can even detect an 8th inch gold shot ingot.

A real winner is the Ranger handheld metal detector. This reasonably priced unit is highly rated by the FAA. 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").
