When access control is your responsibility, the gap between adequate screening and missed threats is measured in seconds and inches. The Pro Scan Metal Detector is engineered for that reality — a handheld wand with calibrated detection ranges, a triple-alert system, and the build quality to hold up through thousands of screenings without flinching.
Who This Metal Detector Is For
Security officers managing venue or facility entry, school administrators running morning screening protocols, event staff working crowd control, and business owners establishing workplace safety procedures. This wand is sized for a professional carry rig and priced for organizations that equip multiple personnel. If you need a tool you can hand to a new screener and trust to perform on day one, this is it.

Confirm applicable laws and any required operator credentials with local authorities before deploying in a professional capacity.
Pro Scan Metal Detector: Frequently Asked Questions
What specific items can the Pro Scan Metal Detector reliably detect?
The wand is rated to detect a handgun at 5 inches, a knife at 4 inches, and a razor blade at 2 inches. These are the threat categories that matter most in access-control screening. Detection of smaller ferrous and non-ferrous items depends on mass and composition, so sensitivity should be adjusted based on your specific screening environment.
How long does the battery last in the Pro Scan Metal Detector?
A single 9-volt battery delivers up to 40 hours of continuous operation. An included battery meter lets you check remaining charge before a shift or event, so you’re never caught short. Keep a spare 9-volt on hand for high-volume screening days as a standard operating practice.
Can the alert modes be used separately, or do they all activate together?
All three alert modes — LED visual indicator, audible alarm, and vibration — can be used independently or in any combination. This lets screeners select vibration-only for low-profile environments, audio-only for maximum situational awareness in open spaces, or all three for the highest-confidence detection feedback.
What does the lifetime warranty cover?
The Pro Scan Metal Detector carries a lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. For a tool used in daily professional screening operations, that coverage provides meaningful long-term value. Contact the seller with your purchase information if a warranty issue arises.
