Description

Where the sX Family Starts

The s-series covers ordinary indoor screening well. The sX family exists for sites where the entrance is harder: higher volumes, more precise zone reporting, or conditions the s-series was not built for. At £3,099 the sX is where that begins.

One physical clue to the difference is in the packing. The s-series ships in a 12kg second box; the sX ships in a 14kg one at 43 by 81 by 27cm, and the net weight rises from 60kg to 61kg. The frame and passage are identical, so the extra is inside the electronics rather than in the structure.

Above this sit the sX-WP at £4,625 and the sX-i NOVO at £5,350. Below it, the s9 at £2,760 covers most school and office entrances perfectly well.

ThruScan sX Questions, Answered

How much is the ThruScan sX?

£3,099. The s9 below it is £2,760 and the sX-WP above it is £4,625, which is a considerably bigger jump and reflects a different build rather than a tuning difference.

What makes it an sX rather than an s-series?

The electronics. The frame, the passage, the voltage range and the power draw are identical across the whole range, so the difference is in detection capability and configuration. The detailed figures are not on this page, so ask us for them.

Is it worth £339 more than the s9?

Possibly, and possibly not for your site. The honest answer needs the detection data that is not on either page, so ask us for both sheets. A busy gate with precise re search needs may justify it; a quiet reception almost certainly will not.

Does it work on sites abroad?

Yes. The 70 to 270 VAC input at 50 to 60Hz covers nearly every national supply without a transformer, which is a genuine advantage if you operate across several countries or ship equipment to events.

Can it be moved between venues?

Physically yes. But an archway performs best commissioned in one position away from interference, so every move means re checking the setup. Touring operators should budget time for that at each venue rather than assuming plug and play.

Why is the second shipping box bigger than the s-series one?

43 by 81 by 27cm at 14kg against 25 by 80 by 27cm at 12kg. The frame is identical, so the difference is in what sits inside the control section. It is a clue to a different build rather than proof of one.

What accessories should I budget for?

A tray table before the frame, two or three hand wands for secondary checks, and signage. Together those cost a fraction of the archway and affect your throughput more than the model choice does.

How long is the warranty and who handles it?

We handle warranty here in the UK rather than referring you to the manufacturer abroad. For a site that cannot open without screening, that response path is worth more than a small discount elsewhere.

Can I see one before committing?

At this level, yes, and you should. Ring us and we will arrange a demonstration or put you in touch with a comparable installation rather than asking you to buy on specification alone.

What goes wrong on these installations?

Almost always siting. An archway too close to a lift shaft, a metal security door or a second archway will behave oddly and get blamed for it. Settle the position before you settle the model.

Does it need commissioning by an engineer?

It needs the sensitivity set for your environment and your threat, which is not a factory default. We can quote installation and commissioning as a separate line so you can see what each part costs.

What will it miss?

Non metallic items entirely: liquids, plastics, ceramics. No archway at any price changes that. Build your procedures around the limit rather than around the sales literature.

Can you quote for installation?

Yes. Tell us the site, the doorway and whether there is a socket within reach, and we will quote supply and installation separately so you can see both.
