EVD3500 Hand Held
Explosive Detector
The EVD3500 is a flexible and easy to operate, dual mode,
portable hand held explosives detector designed and produced in the United
States, 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.
Particulate 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; EVD3500 starts
processing samples immediately and gives results in just seconds.
All identifying results are indicated on the LCD and by a
volume-adjustable audio alarm, making detection a simple one-step process.
FEATURES
The EVD3500 is the world’s first and most recognized portable
explosive trace detector with comprehensive explosive detection capabilities.
The EVD 3500 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 particulate and vapours, non-invasively searching luggage, mail,
clothing, electronic articles, cars, trucks, documents and containers.
PORTABLE
The EVD3500 is self-contained, rugged, and lightweight less
than 3.0KG, and comes in a fully equipped and rugged carrying case.
EASY TO USE
Ready to use without warm-up (after a daily one minute
start), simple push button automatic sampling with go / no go readouts
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 calibrations, radiation licenses or certificates to worry about except
the end-user certificate issues from the office of the national security
adviser (NSA).
PROVEN
The EVD 3500 is capable of detecting plastics and
high-vapour-pressure explosives giving clear results you can trust.
SENSITIVE AND SELECTIVE
EVD 3500 can detect even one minute trace (low nanogram
level) of C-4, TNT, Dynamites, PETN, Semtex, EGDN, DMNB, RDX, ANFO, Black
powder, Ammonium Nitrate, Urea Nitrate, Nitro-glycerine and TATP with low false
alarm levels and few interferents.
