INTRODUCTION
The SCANMAX 25 is a fluoroscopic X-ray cabinet specifically designed for the detection of explosive
devices, hate mail and other contraband material concealed in incoming mail and packages. Items are
placed in the inspection chamber and simply by pressing a push button switch a high resolution image is
displayed on the video monitor. Image reversal, high penetration and 2 different colour palettes are
available. These and the zoom facility will expedite the recognition of the items in the package.
It is ideally suited for use in government and commercial mailrooms, embassies, prisons and courtrooms. It
can also be used in reception areas for the inspection of briefcases and hand-delivered items not passing
through the central mailroom.
The SCANMAX 25 is completely self contained and can be put into operation immediately and can
examine the contents of a parcel 40 x 50 cm (16” x 20”). A parcel, briefcase or a batch of
envelopes/small packets can be examined in less than 10 seconds.
The SCANMAX is designed to ensure operator protection against radiation hazards through the use of lead
shielding. An interlock system on the door prevents the generation of X-rays when the inspection chamber
door is opened, ensuring maximum protection to personnel. Even so, always be aware that radiation (X-
rays) can constitute a distinct hazard if not employed in strict accordance with the instructions provided in
this manual.
Before operating the SCANMAX 25 all personnel designated to operate the unit, or supervise its operation,
must have a full understanding of the contents of this manual.
