Affordable Handheld Security Scanner
The Gold Centry GC-1001 Handheld Security Scanner stands out with unique features. It includes a variable pitch that indicates the size and distance of detected metals. Its build quality appears superior to typical Chinese security wands, offering good value for its price point.
Adjustable Pitch Based on Metal Mass
This handheld security scanner features a distinctive capability to emit varying pitch and volume alerts based on the size or distance of the detected metal mass. This helps users pinpoint the location of the object on a person and decide if further investigation is necessary.
Durable Construction
The Gold Centry GC-1001 Handheld Security Scanner is robustly built and appears sturdier compared to other inexpensive Chinese security wands. It feels substantial in the hand without being overly heavy, ensuring comfortable use even during prolonged periods.
Reasonably Sized Detection Area
This security wand features a search area that is 8.5cm wide and 23cm long, providing ample coverage during inspections without being cumbersome. It is larger than the GC-1002 but smaller than the Garrett Super Scanner V.
Dual Sensitivity Settings
The Gold Centry GC-1001 Handheld Security Scanner offers two sensitivity levels. The first detects smaller objects like an allen key or thin screwdriver at close range, ideal for standard detection. Holding the rocker switch in the opposite direction activates a less sensitive mode that detects larger items such as guns and large knives.
Audio and Visual Indicators
This handheld security scanner lacks a mute or vibration function. It features both visual LED alerts and audible alarms, with the sound varying based on the size or distance of the detected metal. It includes a built-in earphone jack for conducting searches quietly if needed.
Manufactured in Mainland China
This security wand is produced by a respected factory located in mainland China and distributed worldwide through local resellers such as Interconnective.
