Description/Use(s)
General weapons detection programs that
provides excellent discrimination against
pocket items, such as cigarette packs, coins
and jewelry. Exceeds FAA requirements
(i.e., three-gun test).
High throughput.
A specialized weapons detection program
that detects
all metals
; highest level of
security available. Exceeds FAA require-
ments (i.e., three-gun test).
Low through-
put
.
Loss prevention programs one to six are
used to detect metals ranging from conduc-
tive and/or non-ferrous to non-conductive
and/or ferrous respectively. Loss Prev1 is
designed to detect
all metals
, particularly
good conductors, such as jewelry, computer
components and most coins. Loss Prev2 is
similar to Loss Prev1 except it is designed
to ignore poor conductors, such as cigarette
or chewing gum foil and keys. Loss Prev3
to 6 are designed to detect items that are
increasingly less conductive and more fer-
rous (i.e., contain more iron), e.g., Loss
Prev3 to 4 detects most guns; Loss Prev5
to 6 detects tools.
Low–moderate
throughput.
