PD-240 High-Sensitivity Security Wand Metal Detector
The PD-240 is built around two things a checkpoint actually needs: it finds non-magnetic metal as readily as ferrous, and it does not need periodic calibration. Battery life is the other headline, at around 100 hours of standby on two AA cells and up to 500 hours on the dedicated lithium pack. It weighs about 300 g in a shock-resistant ABS body.
Key benefits
- Detects both magnetic and non-magnetic metal, including very small items
- Stable performance with no need for periodic calibration
- Around 100 hours standby on AA cells, up to 500 hours on the lithium pack
- Sound, indicator light and vibration alarms for any environment
- About 300 g in shock and impact resistant ABS
Problems it solves
- Detectors tuned for ferrous metal miss non-magnetic items
- Regular calibration is skipped and detection drifts
- Audible alarms are useless in a loud venue
- Batteries fail mid-shift on lower-endurance wands
Who it is for
- Checkpoint teams working long shifts away from power
- Venues screening for small non-ferrous items
- Operators who cannot maintain a calibration routine
Application scenarios
- Body search for weapons in crowd control
- Package and parcel checks for concealed metal items
- Noisy venues where a vibration alert is the only workable signal
- Long shifts where recharging mid-shift is not possible
Technical features
- Three sensitivity levels: low, normal and high
- Alarm intensity varies with the amount of metal detected
- USB Type-C charging interface
- 30 mW standby power consumption
- Specially shaped sensing area for simpler operation

Quality control
- Manufactured to meet international security standards
Compared with other models in the range
The MD-2024 wand runs at 22 kHz with a 9 V supply and 360 g weight. The PD-240 is the endurance option: 300 g, no periodic calibration, and up to 500 hours of standby with the lithium pack, which matters most on long unattended shifts.
Use guide
- Select low, normal or high sensitivity for the environment
- Use vibration alerting in loud venues and light alerting where silence is needed
- Charge over USB Type-C or fit two AA cells
- Sweep at a steady distance, alarm strength rises with metal content
- Operate between -20°C and 65°C
