GC-3003 Airport Metal Detector Wand
The GC-3003 publishes detection distances by object: a pin at 30 to 60 mm, a 64-model handgun at 150 mm, a 6-inch knife at 160 mm and a 20 mm steel ball at 90 mm. Detection distance holds steady as the 9 V battery falls to 7 V, it self-checks on startup, and it works 40 hours continuously before a 4 to 6 hour recharge.
Key benefits
- Published detection distances by object type

Use guide
- Let the self-check complete when the wand is switched on
- Sweep within 150 to 160 mm to pick up a handgun or knife
- Work closer, at 30 to 60 mm, for pin-sized targets
- Select high or low sensitivity for the environment
