MS 3500™ Walk-Through Metal Detector

The MS 3500™ walk-through is built to withstand rough handling and outside weather conditions while maintaining Garrett's highest quality of metal detection. The highly rugged MS 3500™ walk-through unit is designed for use in prisons, jails and other high security facilities and offers maximum metal detection performance with minimum maintenance.

Overhead Control UnitThe one-piece assembly houses all the detection electronics and safeguards them from weather and tampering. It is weatherproof and has a hinged door that locks with a key. Located on the front of the Overhead, the LED indicator is safeguarded by a clear Plexiglas window, allowing high visibility of the READY LIGHT, ALARM LIGHT and BAR GRAPH LED.Microprocessor Controlled State of the art microprocessors ensure maximum sensitivity and flexibility to program the MS 3500 to fulfill various security applications.Detection Field Unique coil design offers multidimensional detection field and three levels of ankle boost sensitivity to ensure uniformity of screening in all security applications.Rugged Design Rugged, heavy-duty 3/32 in. armor aluminum plates with resilient corner caps for safeguarding against maximum physical abuse. Construction design provides unit with maximum installation stability as well as weather-proof operation. Audible and Visual Alarms An audible alarm and red LED bar graph indicates the detection of metal. The LED bar graph indicates the amplitude of the alarm signal. • Microprocessor-driven for greater sensitivity in weapons detection. • User-friendly programming for precise control of detection settings. • Computerized access codes ensure tamper-proof settings. • Built for maximum security applications with minimum maintenance. • Uniform detection coverage from head to toe. • Three ankle-boost sensitivity levels. • Built with 3/32 inch armor aluminum sheets, abuse resistant. • Assembled with tamper-proof screws. • Weatherproof for outdoor use. • Weatherproofing / Foreign Object Protection Standards: Meets IP 55, IEC Standard. "Degrees of Protection provided by Enclosures," IEC 60529. • Tamper-Proof: All detection electronics can be secured behind a key-lock door in the Overhead Cap Assembly. Dual-level access codes require to or changes all sensitivity settings and detection programs; one level for use by supervisors in selecting programs and sensitivity and the other for initial set-up and overall control; non re-settable sequence code logs all changes made whenever sensitivity codes are accessed. Audible alarm reports any unauthorized attempt at access. All connectors are keyed to ensure proper connections. • Construction: Rugged, heavy-duty 3/32 inch armor aluminum plates with resilient corner caps for protection against maximum physical abuse. • Synchronization: Multiple channels permit several MS 3500s and other Garrett detectors to operate simultaneously in close proximity. • Alarms: Ready light indicates unit is operational; alarm lights and audible alarms are activated when the target amount of metal is detected. • Interference Suppression: 100% sensor coil Faraday shielding; RFI interference reduced with hardware; special Garrett built-in circuitry for noise suppression and ignoring x-ray monitors. Physical interference minimized by coil design and circuitry. • Masking: Programs designed to eliminate the problem of dissimilar targets canceling each other. Interior Overall 30 in. W x 80 in.
