Garrett MT5500

Garrett MT 5500 Walkthrough Metal Detector
When maximum throughput is top priority, security professionals can depend on the Magnascanner MT 5500 walkthrough metal detector. Coils on both sides of the archway improve traffic flow by helping to locate targets on the left, right or in the centre of the body. Dual alarm lights enhance detection by indicating the side on which a target is located. A head-to-toe uniform detection field removes "hot spots" thereby reducing the likelihood of false alarms. Microprocessor-based circuitry enables the operator to calibrate the detector to meet the needs of various security applications. Touch pad controls and a back lit LCD revealing all of the operating and control functions help ease operator workload.
Garrett MT5500 Archway Features
- A dual access non-resettable code to safeguard calibration settings.
- An audible alarm to reveal any unauthorised access attempts.
- A built-in overhead electronics compartment to eliminate the inconveniences of a cable-connected console.
- Multi-phase frequencies and variable tone settings to facilitate multi-unit operation.
- Modular electronics and unit design for easy on-site assembly and maintenance.
- 2 year warranty.

Control Panel
The Access to the Control Panel is via the front touchpad using secure passcode. It allows authorized users only to change settings such as Program and Sensitivity. Security of the detector's settings is maintained with a non-resettable sequence code, which indicates every attempt at access to the settings by non authorised users. A tamper alarm sounds within 10 seconds after the Access touchpad is pressed unless the authoriesed access code is entered. The programmes on the MT5500 are maintained in an electrically erasable non-volatile memory, for the ultimate in security application versatility. The unit maintains all settings even when disconnected from power and does not require recalibration when unit is turned OFF and back ON. No battery is required for memory retention. When the unit is in operation, a self-test of all systems is performed continuously with any failures or problems reported on the LCD display.
