Frequently Asked Questions

What is the RISK TDX Waterproof Walk Through Metal Detector?

The RISK TDX is a professional-grade waterproof walk-through metal detector designed for outdoor security screening. It features 33 independent detection zones, targeted detection technology, an IP65 weatherproof construction and adjustable sensitivity settings, making it suitable for permanent outdoor installations where reliable detection is required in all weather conditions.

What makes the RISK TDX different from a standard walk through metal detector?

Unlike conventional indoor walkthrough metal detectors, the RISK TDX has been specifically engineered for outdoor environments. Its IP65-rated construction protects against rain, dust and harsh weather, allowing it to remain operational where standard security arches would require shelter.

Is the RISK TDX Waterproof Walk Through Metal Detector suitable for permanent outdoor installation?

Yes. The RISK TDX Waterproof Walk Through Metal Detector has been designed for permanent outdoor installation where continuous security screening is required throughout the year. Its weather-resistant housing protects the internal electronics from rain and airborne dust, while its robust construction allows it to be securely bolted to the ground for long-term stability. This makes the detector ideal for entrances to stadiums, schools, transport terminals, industrial sites, government facilities, critical infrastructure and public venues where outdoor screening is necessary.

How many detection zones does the RISK TDX Waterproof Walk Through Metal Detector have?

The RISK TDX Waterproof Walk Through Metal Detector features 33 independent detection zones arranged across the height and width of the archway. Each detection zone operates independently, allowing the detector to identify the approximate location of a concealed metallic object on a person’s body. When an alarm is triggered, corresponding LED indicators clearly highlight where the item has been detected, enabling security personnel to perform faster and more targeted secondary searches.

What is Targeted Detection Technology in the RISK TDX?

Targeted Detection Technology is an advanced feature of the RISK TDX Waterproof Walk Through Metal Detector that provides precise information about where a metallic object has been detected.

Instead of simply indicating that metal is present somewhere on a person, the detector uses its 33 detection zones and integrated LED indicators to identify the approximate location of the object. This enables security staff to focus their secondary screening on the relevant area rather than conducting a full-body search. The result is faster screening, improved efficiency and a better experience for both security operators and members of the public.

Can the sensitivity of the RISK TDX Waterproof Walk Through Metal Detector be adjusted?

Yes. The RISK TDX Waterproof Walk Through Metal Detector provides extensive sensitivity adjustment to suit a wide variety of operational requirements. Operators can choose from 400 individual sensitivity levels as well as 100 overall security programmes, allowing the detector to be configured for different environments and threat levels. Lower sensitivity settings may be appropriate where larger metallic items are the primary concern, while higher sensitivity levels can detect smaller concealed objects.

What types of metal can the RISK TDX detect?

The RISK TDX Waterproof Walk Through Metal Detector is designed to detect both ferrous and non-ferrous metallic objects carried on or concealed by individuals passing through the arch.

This includes items such as knives, firearms, metal tools and other prohibited metallic objects. The detector’s advanced electronics analyse disturbances within the electromagnetic field to identify the presence of metal regardless of whether it is magnetic or non-magnetic. Actual detection performance depends on factors including the object’s size, composition, orientation and location on the individual.

Can the RISK TDX detect non-metallic weapons?

No. The RISK TDX Waterproof Walk Through Metal Detector is specifically designed to detect metallic objects and cannot identify weapons or prohibited items manufactured entirely from non-metallic materials.

Like all walk-through metal detectors, it operates by detecting changes in an electromagnetic field caused by metal. Objects made solely from plastic, ceramic, composite materials or other non-metallic substances will not trigger an alarm. Many organisations use the RISK TDX alongside other security measures such as bag searches, X-ray scanners and trained security personnel to provide a comprehensive screening strategy.

How many people can the RISK TDX Waterproof Walk Through Metal Detector screen?

The RISK TDX Waterproof Walk Through Metal Detector is designed for high-throughput environments and is capable of screening approximately one person per second under normal operating conditions.

The detector maintains accurate performance even during busy periods, helping organisations minimise queues while maintaining effective security screening.

Does the RISK TDX Waterproof Walk Through Metal Detector have multiple alarm options?

Yes. The RISK TDX Waterproof Walk Through Metal Detector provides both visual and audible alarm functions that can be configured to suit different operating environments. Bright LED indicators clearly show the location of detected metal while audible alarms notify security personnel when screening identifies a concealed metallic object. Alarm volume and operational settings can be adjusted to suit indoor or outdoor environments, ensuring alarms remain noticeable without causing unnecessary disruption.

Does the RISK TDX include a tally counter?

Yes. The RISK TDX Waterproof Walk Through Metal Detector incorporates an integrated tally counter that automatically records the number of people who pass through the detector as well as the number of alarms generated.
