Plenty of places need a wand occasionally rather than constantly. A village hall hiring out for events, a small office with one awkward visitor a month, a club that screens on busy nights only. Buying a daily use instrument for that is spending money on durability you will never consume.
The ThruSec covers that case. It has the three colour LED so you can see at a glance that it is working, audio and vibration alerts as standard rather than as an upgrade, and a single on and off switch that anyone can be handed without training.
What you give up is adjustable sensitivity. On a site where everyone wears a tool belt that will matter, and the dX is the answer. Where you are screening ordinary visitors for weapons, a fixed sensitivity is one less thing to be set wrongly by whoever picked it up last.
£149, which makes it the most affordable wand we stock. The ThruScan at £179 and the ThruScan dX at £249 sit above it.
Green indicates the unit is operating, red is an alarm and yellow warns of a low battery. Knowing at a glance that the wand is actually on matters more than it sounds, because a dead wand looks exactly like a wand finding nothing.
Yes, audio and vibration are both standard here, with an earphone optional. That makes it a reasonable choice for discreet screening despite being the cheapest in the range.
A straightforward on and off switch. There is no sensitivity adjustment, which is the main thing you give up against the dX. For spot checks and occasional use that is usually fine.
A single 9V NiMH 250mAh rechargeable cell, which is optional rather than included. First charge is around 15 hours and later charges about 10. Standby current is 11mA.
One year, with seven years of parts supply availability under the published general conditions of sale, delivery and warranty. The parts availability is the more useful number for a tool that will be dropped.
ABS, like the rest of the range. These wands get dropped on concrete, so the case material is a fair thing to ask about before buying for a rotating team.
ThruSec at £149 for occasional spot checks. The ThruScan at £179 if you want better published detection distances. The dX at £249 if you need adjustable sensitivity and a five level readout for daily use. Our hand held page compares them.
The technical specification gives an operating range of minus 10 to plus 45 degrees Celsius, with storage from minus 20 to plus 55. That covers a British door in any weather, indoors or out.
Yes, for the visitor and for whoever is holding it. The field is a tiny fraction of the strength used in medical equipment and nothing is emitted into the body. Anyone with an implanted device can be offered a hand search instead, which is sensible practice whatever equipment you own.
Yes. Vibration is standard rather than an optional extra on this model, and an earphone is available. For a reception desk where you do not want an audible alarm announcing a result to everyone waiting, that matters more than the price difference to the models above it.
