The METAL-TEC TE-1400 serves as an intuitive extension of the operator’s hand during physical body searches. The compact design allows security personnel to slide the detector between the thumb and forefinger. This design frees up the remaining fingers to conduct standard pat-downs simultaneously. Unlike traditional bulky security wands, the TE-1400 does not require a constant sweeping motion. It pinpoints the exact location, shape, and size of a metal object even when held perfectly still over the threat zone.

Equipped with an exclusive triaxial detection field, this scanner uncovers all ferrous and nonferrous metallic items from any direction. When a threat is detected, the unit communicates via sensory vibration patterns. The silent alert pattern allows officers to analyze the size and length of a weapon without alerting the target. This makes it an ideal solution for crowd control, nightclubs, airports, and correctional facilities.
