Answer:
The UPMD-009 incorporates 9 overlapping detection zones capable of detecting ferrous and non-ferrous metal cubes as small as 25 mm. It features independent zone sensitivity adjustable from 0 to 99, a side-panel zone representation display, an 8-digit LED display, and a bar graph showing the peak metal zone.
The Sivananda UPMD-009 uses a microprocessor-controlled transmitter-receiver coil configuration divided into 9 overlapping detection zones. This coil geometry allows precise localization of concealed metallic items across vertical and horizontal planes.
Key detection and signaling features include:
- Object Detection Threshold: Capable of detecting ferrous and non-ferrous metal cubes as small as 25 mm.
- Zone Sensitivity Calibration: Sensitivity is independently settable for each of the 9 zones in steps from 0 to 99 via an onboard programming keypad.
- Zone Representation: Side-panel zone indicators display all zones containing metal when targets are detected simultaneously.
- Peak Signal Readout: An integrated 8-digit LED display and bar graph isolate and display the specific zone containing the peak metal mass.
- Continuous Active Monitoring: Coils remain continuously energized to prevent targets from being tossed through undetected.
- Passage Counting: Infrared occupancy sensors track traffic with selectable multi-mode counts (IN, OUT, and combined total IN & OUT).
