Phantom Metal Detectors

Features; Digital Signal Processing Flash Memory Technology Display Interface - Local Display Remote Display Multi-Unit Display Portable / Removable Display Communications Hardware: The Phantom unit comes with an RS-485 long distance, multi-drop communication port as a standard feature. This allows up to 32 units to connect to a computer serial port with cables up to a mile in length without further hardware. The Phantom is the only detector available with an Ethernet card for direct network connection, making Internet-based monitoring possible. Software: The Fortress ‘Contact’ communications software allows for data collection, remote control, and memory storage. The software is compatible with the advanced Windows operating systems Windows 2000 and Windows XP The largest cost of owning a metal detector is the recurring expense of regular performance testing. With the trend moving towards more frequent tests, the cost can skyrocket. To help reduce this cost, increase safety, and improve protection against detection failure, the Phantom includes an all-electronic automatic performance test system that outperforms pneumatic systems offered by competitors. The Auto-Test System takes a sample from the transmit coil signal and introduces it to the receiver, mimicking a metal signal in both size and shape. The system processes the signal and a rejection occurs. The system can be set to automatically perform tests at specific intervals, allowing a greater frequency of testing than with a manual system. The Auto-Test System is consistent and cannot be doctored or fooled. The Auto-Test feature is being used by many large customers to supplement their manual tests and has been found to significantly reduce testing costs while providing better protection.
