Product Information
A Garrett walkthrough metal detector, such as the PD 6500i or Paragon models, is a security screening gate designed to detect concealed metal objects on a person’s body. Key features include multi-zone detection (e.g., 33 zones for the PD 6500i), which uses LED indicators on the archway to pinpoint the height and horizontal location of a threat. These detectors offer adjustable sensitivity levels for various applications, from high-sensitivity settings for prisons to programs for airports, and often include features like tamper-proof settings, diagnostic programs, and optional accessories for increased mobility and network connectivity.
