Garrett Super Scanner V Handheld Security Metal Detector

The Garrett Super Scanner V is a professional handheld metal detector designed for fast, dependable security screening. Originally developed for use at the 1984 Olympic Games, the Super Scanner has become one of the world’s most widely recognized handheld security detectors.

Its large eight-inch scanning surface helps operators screen individuals quickly and thoroughly. Automatic tuning eliminates routine sensitivity adjustments, while audible and silent vibrating alarm modes allow the detector to operate effectively in a variety of security environments.

Reliable Metal Detection

The Super Scanner V is engineered to detect ferrous, nonferrous, and stainless-steel objects. When metal is detected, the unit produces a sharp audible alarm or a silent vibration alert, along with a bright red LED indication.

Typical maximum detection distances include:

• Medium-sized pistol: up to 9 inches

• Large knife: up to 6 inches

• Razor blade or box cutter: up to 3 inches

• Tiny jewelry or foil-wrapped material: up to 1 inch

Actual detection distance may vary according to the target’s size, material, orientation, and surrounding conditions.

Automatic Operation

Digital microprocessor technology automatically calibrates the detector, eliminating the need for routine sensitivity adjustments. A momentary interference-elimination button helps reduce responses from nearby ambient metal, including rebar, metal walls, and other large stationary objects.

Operating Information

Move the detector smoothly along the screened area while keeping its broad scanning surface near the subject. Select either audible or silent vibration mode according to the screening environment. Use the momentary interference-elimination control when nearby structural metal causes unwanted detection.

Important: Security-screening effectiveness depends on proper operator training and established screening procedures. This detector identifies the presence of metal but does not determine the type of object detected.
