V160-E Handheld Metal Detector with Object Size Indication
The V160-E changes its alarm as the amount of detected metal changes, so an operator gets a sense of object size rather than a flat alarm. It is ultra-high sensitivity for magnetic and non-magnetic metal, holds its setting without periodic calibration, and runs about 100 hours on AA cells or 500 hours on the dedicated lithium pack.
Key benefits
- Alarm indication changes with the amount of metal detected, indicating object size
- Ultra-high sensitivity to extremely small non-magnetic metal objects
- Stable performance without periodic calibration
- About 100 hours on AA cells, 500 hours on the dedicated lithium battery
- 300 g in shock and impact resistant ABS
Problems it solves
- A flat alarm tells an operator nothing about what triggered it
- Wands tuned for ferrous metal miss small non-magnetic items
- Calibration routines are skipped and detection drifts
- Batteries fail mid-shift on lower-endurance wands
Who it is for
- Screening staff who need to triage alarms quickly
- Sites where small non-magnetic items are the concern
- Operators working long unattended shifts
Application scenarios
- Checking for weapons and explosives on the body
- Searching packages for small hidden metal objects
- Screening where the operator must judge whether an alarm matters
- Long shifts away from mains power
Technical features
- Three sensitivity levels: low, normal and high
- Visual, audible and vibration alarm indication
- USB Type-C charging interface
- 30 mW standby power consumption
- Specially shaped sensing area for simpler operation

Quality control
- Manufactured with electronic technology conforming to international security standards
Compared with other models in the range
The V160-E, V006E and PD-240 share this specification across the range. Against the GC-1002 at 450 g with no adjustment, this wand is lighter at 300 g, adds three sensitivity levels, and runs far longer on the lithium pack.
Use guide
- Select low, normal or high sensitivity for the environment
- Read the change in alarm intensity as an indication of object size
- Charge over USB Type-C or fit two AA cells
- Use vibration alerting where an audible alarm is impractical
- Operate between -20°C and 65°C
