The CEIA MSD (Magneto-Static Detector) identifies weapons and contraband by sensing ferromagnetic materials such as steel and iron.
Unlike traditional metal detectors that rely on electromagnetic induction, the MSD detects magnetic field disturbances caused by metallic weapons or prohibited items.
This allows it to locate hidden guns, knives, tools, or electronic devices without requiring individuals to empty their pockets.
The MSD is highly effective in detecting items with minimal metal content that might evade conventional screening systems.
The MSD differs from traditional metal detectors because it uses ferromagnetic detection technology instead of standard electromagnetic fields. This enables it to:
– Detect items that contain only ferrous metals (like steel and iron) with great precision.
– Ignore non-threat metals such as aluminum, brass, or jewelry, minimizing false alarms.
– Operate passively, meaning it does not emit electromagnetic radiation or require calibration.
These features make the MSD ideal for environments that demand discreet and accurate screening, such as correctional facilities, hospitals, and secure government buildings.
The MSD is extremely lightweight and portable, designed for rapid deployment in any security environment. It can be set up in seconds without tools, cables, or calibration, making it perfect for temporary checkpoints, mobile teams, and high-traffic areas.
Its compact size and rechargeable power supply make it easy to move between locations, allowing flexible use indoors or outdoors as needed.
Yes. The MSD can detect cell phones, tablets, and other electronic devices containing ferromagnetic components. It also identifies small ferrous objects such as keys, metal fragments, or concealed weapon parts.
This capability makes it ideal for prisons, secure facilities, and manufacturing areas where the presence of mobile phones or metal tools is restricted. Its precise detection field ensures consistent results even when the device is hidden inside bags or clothing.
Yes. The MSD is completely safe for use around medical devices and implants because it operates passively and does not emit any electromagnetic fields.
It can be used confidently in hospitals, MRI suites, and healthcare environments to prevent the entry of ferromagnetic materials without interfering with sensitive medical equipment or affecting patients with pacemakers or implants.
Yes. The MSD is designed for both indoor and outdoor use. It features a durable, weather-resistant construction that allows it to perform reliably in various conditions, including temperature extremes and humidity.
This versatility makes it suitable for event security, stadium checkpoints, and perimeter protection, where quick setup and environmental durability are essential.
The MSD can screen up to 50 people per minute, depending on security protocols and flow control. Its wide detection field and fast response time allow seamless operation in high-traffic areas, maintaining both accuracy and throughput.
This high-efficiency design makes the MSD ideal for use at events, transportation hubs, and correctional facilities where speed and reliability are critical.
No. The MSD requires no calibration or technical setup. It is a plug-and-play device that begins detecting immediately after being powered on.
Operators simply place the unit in the desired location, and it automatically compensates for surrounding magnetic fields. This simplicity allows even untrained personnel to operate it effectively without specialized tools or adjustments.
