User’s Guide
NMT’s T-Wand is a rugged Coded Wire Tag (CWT)
detector for field use. It is fully waterproof, it floats,
and is stable over a wide range of temperatures.
The detection range of the T-Wand is 5.25 cm for a
standard length CWT. The T-Wand is quick and easy
to use, and mouth wanding is no longer needed.
Operation
1.
Press the power switch to turn the wand on. The
wand will beep once and the lights will flash to
indicate the wand is ready to use. To turn the
wand off, press the power switch again. Two
quick beeps indicate shut-down.
2.
The smaller button adjusts the sound. The sound
settings toggle through low-off-high.
Step 1
- Remove watches and any magnetic jewelry
before you begin. Take cell phones, keys, and other
metal objects out of your pockets.
Step 2
– Turn on the wand. Hold it by the grip, just
under the sensor head, with the front of the wand
and the back of your hand facing upwards. Check the
wand function using the T-Wand Standard (over).
Step 3
- Use the wand to check that gloves are non-
magnetic, and to find snaps and zippers that can
interfere with sampling. You will need to hold the
wand slightly away from these while you sample.
Step 4
– At your sampling location, simulate the
wanding action to ensure you are free of interference
from nearby structures, vehicles, boats, processing
machinery, etc. Move away from any sources of
interference and recheck.
