Why Choose the PD240?
Reliable Secondary Screening for High-Security Environments
The PD240 is a professional-grade handheld metal detector engineered for fast, accurate, and reliable screening. Whether you’re securing a high-profile event, managing access at a courthouse, or reinforcing entry procedures at a correctional facility, this solution is within arm’s reach. The PD240 delivers exceptional detection and operator comfort in both indoor and outdoor environments.
This model is our preferred companion to walk-through detection systems like OPENGATE. While walk-throughs provide fast, wide-area screening, the PD240 adds pinpoint precision and versatility. It is a key component in any layered security posture. It’s ideal for secondary screening and spot checks, offering high sensitivity without sacrificing speed or comfort.
Consistent, Accurate Detection
Detects both magnetic and non-magnetic metals, including stainless steel. The wide detection surface ensures uniform coverage with fewer passes.
Effective Anywhere
Operates close to steel-reinforced flooring without triggering false alarms. This makes it ideal for real-world use.
Ergonomic, Sleek Design
The offset handle keeps the operator’s hand away from the detection area. The smooth body glides easily over clothing without snagging.
