The GSS-3000 Hand-held
Explosives Detector is one of the most advanced
chemical detection systems in the world.
The GSS-3000 is the world's first and most
recognized portable explosives trace detector with comprehensive explosives
detection capabilities. Ready to operate in only 60 seconds, the GSS-3000 is
the only hand-held device capable of detecting the presence of plastic and
high-vapor-pressure explosives, including tag Gants. If portability, quick
detection and clear results are crucial, then this is the explosives detector
needed. The GSS-3000 detects traces of both particulates and vapors, allowing
for non-invasive searches of luggage, mail, vehicles, documents and
containers.
FEATURES:
· Proven: The GSS-3000
is the only hand-held detector capable of detecting traces of plastic and
high-vapor-pressure explosives - giving clear results you can trust.
· Flexible Power Sources: The GSS-3000 offers you the
choice of a 12 volt DC rechargeable battery pack, external battery pack and
AC adapter, making it convenient to use in virtually all application
environments.
· Sensitive and Selective: The GSS-3000 can detect and identify minute traces of C-4, TNT, Dynamite, PETN, Semtex, EGDN, DMNB,
RDX, and Nitroglycerine.
· Portable: The GSS-3000
is self-contained and lightweight (less than 7 lbs.) and comes in a fully
equipped, rugged carrying case, ready to use when and where you need it.
· Easy-to-Use: The GSS-3000
is ready for operation within one minute from turn on. A simple push of a
button automatically activates the sampling and analysis mode. Results are
displayed on an easy-to-read LCD making the GSS-3000 ideal for all
non-technical personnel.
OPERATING THE GSS-3000
The GSS-3000 is flexible and easy to operate,
offering both vapor and particulate sampling without the use of a radioactive
source or external carrier gas. Vapors are sampled directly via the sampling
nozzle. Particulates are sampled by swiping a suspected object with cotton
gloves and then transferring the traces to a screen which is inserted into
the sampling port. This dual capability enables users to select the most
suitable method of sampling for the explosives of interest. The GSS-3000
starts processing samples immediately and gives results in just seconds. All
results are indicated on the LCD and by a volume-adjustable audio alarm,
making a detection a simple one-step process.
