Hand Held Explosives Detector (EVD 3000)

The EVD 3000 is a flexible and easy to operate portable hand held explosives detector, capable of both vapour and particulate sampling, which does not use a radioactive source or any consumables.
Vapours are sampled directly by vacuum into the sampling nozzle.
Particulates are sampled by swiping a suspected object with cotton gloves and then transferring the traces to a screen which is inserted into the sampling port.
This dual capability enables users to select the most suitable method of sampling for the explosives of interest; The EVD3000 starts processing samples immediately and gives results in seconds.
All results are indicated on the LCD and by a volume-adjustable audio alarm, making detection a simple one-step process.
Features
The EVD3000 is the world's first and most recognised portable explo¬ Sives trace detector with compre¬ Hensive explosives detection capabilities.
It can be ready to operate in only 60 seconds and provides a response in 15 seconds.
The EVD3000 is the only hand-held device capable of detecting the presence of plastic and high vapour pressure explosives, including taggants.
Portable, quick operation, with clear results, it will detect traces of both participates and vapours, non-invasively searching luggage, mail, clothing, electronic articles, cars, trucks, documents and containers.
Portable
The EVD3000 is self-contained, rugged, and light¬ Weight - less than 3.0 kg, and comes in a fully equipped, rugged carrying case.
Easy to use
Ready to use within a minute of power-up, simple push-button automatic sampling with go/no go read¬ Outs displayed on an easy-to-read LCD. It is ideal for use by non¬ Technical personnel.
Better value
Less costly to budget and operate, no internal consumables, and no calibra¬ Tions, radiation licenses or certificates to worry about.
Proven
The EVD3000 is capable of detecting plastic and high-vapour-pressure explosives giving clear results you can trust.
Sensitive and Selective
EVD 3000 can detect even minute traces of C-4, Dynamite, Semtex, EGDN, DMNB, RDX, and Nitroglycerine, including ICAO taggants and tagged plastic explosives.
