The Godrej GScan Pole Ferromagnetic Contraband Screener is engineered for rapid physical deployment in high-throughput security checkpoints such as government buildings, prisons, and hotels. Designed as an ergonomic, single-pole screening assembly, the system requires no specialized tools for field setup and can be deployed within minutes to initiate immediate screening operations.
Mechanical Positioning and Mounting Configurations
The screener provides flexible mounting profiles depending on passageway architecture and operational requirements:
- Freestanding Pedestal Deployment: Utilizes the supplied base assembly. The assembled unit measures 201.5 cm in height, 32 cm in width, and 26 cm in depth, with a total net weight of 10 kg. The compact base profile is optimized for narrow corridors and entry vestibules, minimizing physical obstruction while handling throughput rates of 30 to 40 persons per minute.
- Detached Pole Deployment: The pole assembly can be operated independently of the freestanding base, measuring 200 cm in height, 5 cm in width, and 5 cm in depth, with a reduced net weight of 4 kg.
- Wall-Mounted Installation: For permanent, space-constrained checkpoints, the unit can be fixed directly to structural walls using the optional wall mount kit (available at an additional cost).
- Operational Orientations: The system maintains full screening functionality in both vertical and horizontal positions, enabling checkpoint screening along pedestrian pathways or specialized inspection points behind partition barriers.
Passageway Layout and Detection Radius Planning
Site planners must account for the screener's 360-degree, full-height detection field. The GScan Pole establishes a nominal detection radius of 70 cm from the central sensor axis. Because the unit utilizes passive ferromagnetic sensing technology that emits zero electromagnetic radiation, it imposes no biological safety stand-off restrictions, making it completely safe around individuals with pacemakers, medical implants, or pregnancy.
Electrical Service and Power Connectivity
The GScan Pole supports versatile indoor and mobile power connections:
- AC Utility Input: Accepts line voltages from 110 V to 240 V AC at 50 to 60 Hz.
- Operational DC Voltage: Internal operational electronics run on 12 V DC, drawing a maximum power consumption of 12 W.
- Field Auxiliary Power: Operates via a 12 V DC auxiliary external input for remote portable operations.
- Integrated Energy Storage: Features an internal lithium-ion battery (they are not included) providing over 12 hours of continuous backup operation during power interruptions or off-grid deployments.
Environmental Tolerances and Weatherproof Protection
Fabricated with 316-grade stainless steel and injection-molded plastic components, the GScan Pole features a weatherproof enclosure engineered for both indoor and outdoor installations. The hardware operates reliably across a wide ambient temperature range from -10 °C to +65 °C, conforming to international electrical safety standards and the latest EMI/EMC electromagnetic compatibility directives.
System Commissioning, Calibration, and Controls
Upon physical placement, commissioning is completed using integrated digital controls:
- Automatic Self-Calibration: The screener executes automatic self-calibration adapted to any ambient operating environment, with user-selectable pre-programmed profiles available for accelerated initial setup.
- OLED Interface and Jog Dial: Parameter navigation is managed via a secure jog dial control and a high-contrast OLED display with user-adjustable brightness intensity for both the screen and indicator LEDs.
- Zone and Sensitivity Configuration: Technicians can calibrate multi-zone detection across 120 sensitivity levels, with dual levels of gain adjustment for each individual zone.
- Signaling and Tamper Protection: The interface includes 8 user-selectable tone profiles with a silent mode option, 10-level volume control, and visible zone indicator lights. All programmed thresholds are secured with password protection to prevent unauthorized modification.
