The Dual-Traffic Counter version provides a true count of people entering a secure area. It increments as people pass in a forward direction and decrements the count as they pass in the reverse direction. Go lights can be included as an extension of the traffic counter option. This lowers the incidence of more than one person being simultaneously scanned by the detection field and thus minimizes unwanted alarms caused by their combined metal. The new compact remote table top mounted alarm display mimics the local alarm display panel and audio signal.
Connection is made through a fiber optic cable.
The cable is stored in the back of the display panel case and can be unwound to the desired length. The wider versions permit wheel chair access. In reality, metal detectors respond differently to signals originating from objects made of different metals. The situation is further complicated when an object is made from a combination of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Metal characteristics such as permeability, conductivity, thickness of material and heat treatment all influence the way in which metal objects interact with a detector.
