I - DESCRIPTION
Document contents
Externally, CEIA HI-PE/CF Series metal detectors appear identical to
standard HI-PE models, and only differ in having some modifications to the
antenna and to the programming parameters.
This document illustrates these specific modifications, and we would refer
users to the manual included with all models for more general information.
Special features of the HI-PE/CF Series
The transit of metal personal effects in common daily use through Metal Detector checkpoints generates
signals which often exceed those of some types of fire-arm available on the market. Discrimination of the
these by the Metal Detector therefore becomes a necessary condition for establishing access systems with
high flow rates.
As a solution to this problem, CEIA presents its new HI-PE/CF Metal Detector which, with its detection
functions based on an innovative signal analysis system, raises the threshold of discrimination between
medium-sized fire-arms and personal effects to a level up to 400% above that of the 02PN8 HI-PE
model.
The advantages of using this new Metal Detector are the following: a notable reduction in the need for branch
staff to act to check inward- and outward-bound traffic; increase in convenience of access to the bank for
customers; and, not least, the opportunity to increase the level of security.
Statistical data obtained in real operating situations with the HI-PE/CF Metal Detector have demonstrated the
almost total elimination of false alarms compared with earlier systems, at the same level of detection capability
relating to fire-arms of conventional construction and in light metal, such as the Beretta 6.35mm.
The HI-PE/CF Metal Detector keeps the same dimensions and programming characteristics as the 02PN8 HI-
PE Metal Detector, so that it can be fitted into systems which were designed for the earlier model. As far as its
application is concerned, the parameters already in use for walk-through Metal Detectors remain valid, in
particular the importance of the electromagnetic compatibility of the metal structure.
In order to guarantee the levels of performance described above, use of this new Metal Detector is restricted to
cabins previously certified for electromagnetic compatibility with the HI-PE/CF Metal Detector.
