Product Description

Merlin 133 Contraband Detector is a portable, lightweight instrument that indicates the presence of hidden material by signaling unexpected changes in the density or thickness of a surface. The Merlin 133 Contraband Detector provides a rapid means of detecting any hidden material. It senses differences in material thickness or density by sending a beam of Gamma rays through the surface being inspected and measuring the backscatter. A filled space reflects more energy than an empty space and raises the signal. As the detector is moved across a surface, the signal is constantly displayed and any changes trigger an audible alarm. This method is ideal for detecting concealed drugs, explosives, currency or weapons in car doors, fuel tanks and cavities behind container walls.

OPERATION: The detector is placed anywhere on the surface of an object and held for two seconds while a 'normal' reading is registered. The detector is then moved across the surface of the object and changes indicated in density will trigger an alarm.
