Viking VM-45 Zone Archway Metal Detector System
The VM-45 is the top of the Viking archway range: 45 pinpoint detection zones, total sensitivity across 4095 levels with 0 to 300 per zone, and up to 99 selectable working frequencies. Two units run at only 20 cm apart without interfering, and it keeps working normally when a large X-ray machine stands right beside it.

Key benefits
- 45 pinpoint detection zones, the highest count in this range
- 0 to 4095 total sensitivity with 0 to 300 adjustable per zone
- Up to 99 selectable working frequencies
- Two gates at only 20 cm apart without interference
- Works normally when adjacent to large metal objects such as an X-ray machine
Problems it solves
- Coarse zone counts cannot locate an item precisely enough
- Adjacent X-ray equipment destabilises an ordinary gate
- Lanes are too narrow to space gates conventionally
- There is no mains power at a temporary screening position
Who it is for
- Sites requiring the finest sensitivity resolution available
- Operators fitting gates into a constrained lane layout
- Facilities needing CCTV, PC or phone connection to the gate
Application scenarios
