The jump from hand wands to an archway is about throughput, not about detection. A guard with a wand takes fifteen to twenty seconds per person. An archway takes about a second. If you have a queue at any point in the day, that difference is the whole argument and no amount of wand buying fixes it.
The s3 at £2,250 is where that starts. It is a mains powered, permanently sited frame for indoor use: a school entrance, a court foyer, a reception that needs to screen everyone rather than spot check. Multi zone, so the operator is told roughly where on the body the metal sits rather than simply that it is somewhere.
£2,250, which makes it the most affordable archway we stock. The whole range runs to £5,350, and all six share the same frame size and power requirements.
Speed, consistency and a record of having screened everyone. A wand depends on the person holding it; a frame treats every visitor the same way. Our hand held page covers wands from £149 if volume is not your problem.
ThruScan do not publish the detection zone count or the sensitivity programme data on this page, and we are not going to guess at it. Ring us and we will get the manufacturer’s specification sheet to you before you commit, because on an archway that is the figure the decision actually turns on.
A net passage of 74 by 68 by 200cm inside an external frame of 85 by 68 by 220cm. It needs a flat floor and clearance from lift motors, metal door frames and other archways, all of which can interfere with it.
An ordinary socket. It runs from 70 to 270 VAC at 50 to 60Hz, drawing 10W on standby and 20W when alarming, so there is no special supply to arrange.
The ambient range is minus 20 to plus 70 degrees Celsius, so a draughty British foyer is comfortably inside it. This is an indoor unit, though, so a genuinely exposed gate needs the sX-WP instead.
Two boxes, the larger 81 by 235 by 21cm at 65kg. At 60kg net it is a two person assembly into position, not something one person carries upstairs. Allow for that when you plan the day.
Yes. The field is a small fraction of medical imaging strength and well within international exposure limits. Pacemaker manufacturers advise walking through at normal pace rather than standing inside the frame, and anyone concerned can request a hand search.
Yes. Health authorities treat airport style screening as safe throughout pregnancy. Someone who would rather not can ask for a hand search, and that request should simply be accommodated.
Yes. A vape contains a lithium battery and a metal heating coil, which is more than enough metal. Vape detection is the single commonest reason UK schools buy an archway.
No. It responds to metal only, so a liquid in a plastic bottle or a ceramic blade passes through unnoticed. Screening equipment is one layer of security rather than the whole of it, and anyone telling you otherwise is selling.
Yes, almost certainly. The archway tells you someone has metal and roughly where; a wand confirms what and where exactly. Most sites run one archway and two wands. See the security range for both.
