In effect, the Intelliscan 12000 is not simply a metal detector, but 18 individual detectors operating in tandem. Because the Intelliscan 12000 operates electronically in a totally different manner, false alarms caused by interference from outside noise sources such as computers, fluorescent lights, etc., are virtually zero, enabling the unit to operate perfectly in environments impossible for others. The field of detection is even, from side to side and top to bottom, with no dead spots or hot spots. In situations where large amounts of steel re-bar in the floor cause a drop off of sensitivity at the bottom, the sensitivity of that particular horizontal area can be increased, independently of the others. Sensitivity levels stay where adjusted and never change with varying temperature and humidity.
Operation is always consistent and entirely stable.
The Intelliscan 12000 is extremely user friendly, setting up in about five minutes with no complicated calibration or adjustments required. The unit is completely self testing and a simple menu selects variable programs for different security levels and other adjustments such as sensitivity, alarm tone, and so on. In action, a color graphic display depicts the archway opening, with each of the 18 zones shown separately. Harmless items like keys, coins, etc., go through completely undetected at typical security sensitivity levels. This ability to zero in, the location of weapons, while ignoring harmless small metal objects, tremendously increases traffic flow and throughput speed.
