Contraband Detector
CONTRABAND DETECTOR
The Contraband Detection System provides "x-ray vision" for law enforcement professionals enabling detection of contraband hidden within areas such as automobile tires, doors, fenders, bumpers, fuel tanks, as well as aircraft structures, boat hulls and building walls.
Applications
The Contraband Detection System is used to detect concealed objects and materials including weapons, narcotics, alcohol and explosives. As the suspect object is scanned, contraband materials reflect the low-level radiation, which is measured by the very sensitive detector. The operator is alerted by both a backlit digital display, visible in all light conditions, and an audio beep that increases in rate as it detects more contraband material. Different sounds indicate the relative density of the contraband detected and indicate probable drug or gun type materials. Each unit may be calibrated against a standard, assuring consistent performance from unit to unit.
Features
The Contraband Detection System is a lightweight, hand-held system that utilizes a microprocessor, a self-contained low-level radioactive source, and a sensitive detector to measure backscatter through solid surfaces. The CDS-2002i operates on standard 9-volt alkaline batteries that provide 18 to 36 continuous hours of operation.
Benefits
The Contraband Detection System is a powerful and reliable portable hand-held device that can be operated in virtually any setting. It provides a low-cost and time-saving method of detecting contraband in materials that are too difficult or time-consuming to inspect by hand.
