FAQs


How does the alert system work?

Once a metal object passes through the device's electromagnetic field, it triggers an audible alarm or vibration alert. It also activates a red LED light, alerting the security guard that a potential threat has been detected.

What makes this hand-held metal detector wand different from walk-through metal detectors?

Hand-held detectors like the Guide are designed for hands-on use, providing detailed and precise metal detection. Its compact size makes it ideal for secondary screening and targeted searches but it can also serve as a primary screening tool in certain environments.
