The dX-X sits at the top of our four ThruScan wands at £279, reduced from £299. What the published data shows is a frugal instrument: 4mA on standby and 13mA when alarming, from a single 9V alkaline or NiMH cell, in a 420g body.
That current draw matters more than it sounds. A wand that sips power on standby is one that is still working at the end of a long shift, and standby is where a door wand spends most of its life.
It is also the most environmentally tolerant of the range: operating from minus 20 to plus 70 degrees Celsius at up to 95 percent non condensed humidity, with storage down to minus 30. For an outdoor gate or an unheated loading bay that is the relevant specification.
£279, reduced from £299. The four wands run ThruSec £149, ThruScan £179, dX £249, and this at £279.
ThruScan position it at the top of the range, and the published figures show lower standby current and a wider humidity tolerance. The detection distance table is not on this page, so ask us for the comparison against the dX’s published distances before you choose.
No. It takes a single 9V alkaline or NiMH cell, listed as optional and not included. Order one with the wand rather than discovering it on the day.
At 4mA standby and 13mA alarming it is frugal, and standby is where a door wand spends most of its time. A good alkaline cell will cover a long period of normal screening.
Better than the rest of the range. Minus 20 to plus 70 degrees Celsius at up to 95 percent non condensed humidity, with storage down to minus 30. For a gate, a loading bay or a festival entrance that is the figure that matters.
Around 420g, 450g gross, in a 4.3 by 8.3 by 41cm body. That is the same weight class as the rest of the range, so it will not tire an operator more than the cheaper wands.
Keep it within an inch or two of the clothing, move at about a hand width per second, and work the same pattern every time: arms, torso front and back, waistband, legs, ankles. The waistband and ankles are where rushed searches miss things.
Yes, and for the operator holding it all day. The field is extremely weak, far below exposure limits, and nothing is emitted into the body.
Yes. There is no evidence of risk and the field strength is a tiny fraction of medical equipment. Anyone who would rather not be scanned can be offered an alternative check.
Reliably. Both contain batteries and metal components, which makes them among the easiest things for a wand to find. This is why schools and prisons buy them.
The ThruScan wands carry a specific design feature to prevent false alarms from walkie talkies and radio frequencies, which matters when door staff have a radio in the other hand.
For occasional spot checks, the ThruSec at £149. For daily use with adjustable sensitivity, the dX at £249. For outdoor or humid conditions, this one. Our hand held page sets out all four.
