Army Hand Held Metal Detector
The Army Hand Held Metal Detector is a light, push-button wand for checking people, bags and parcels at gates and checkpoints. It uses pulse indication with self-adjusting circuits, so the operator does not need to tune it, and it gives a clear audible alarm when it finds metal. We make it in China and supply it for export.
How the Army Hand Held Metal Detector works
Detectors of this type usually sense metal through electromagnetic induction. A coil in the head sends out a weak field, and a metal object nearby changes that field. The circuit reads the change and triggers the alarm, typically a sound, a light or both. Because this model adjusts itself automatically, a guard can start a search as soon as the unit is switched on.
- Detection method: pulse indication, usually with an induction sensing coil
- Operation: simple push-button control with fully automatic circuits
- Alarm: instant response with a clear audible signal
- Weight: light and easy to carry on long shifts
- Housing: typically a weatherproof polymer or metal case
- Field strength: listed as low, which suits routine personnel checks
Where a hand wand fits in a screening plan
A walk-through frame screens a steady line of people, and a hand wand then pinpoints what set it off. Many sites use both. If you are planning a full checkpoint, compare the door frame walk-through detector with this wand. For buried objects or ground search, the deep search metal detector is built for a different task.
Points to confirm before ordering
Buyers usually ask us about battery type, charging, and the carry holster. We confirm these for your batch, along with the alarm mode and the language on the user guide. If a tender sets a minimum detection distance for a given object, send us the clause and we will tell you what we can confirm in writing before you bid.
