The Sivananda UPMD 6 six-zone door frame metal detector is engineered for demanding industrial, institutional, and commercial perimeter security checkpoints. Powered by continuous wave technology and a microprocessor-driven core, the UPMD 6 delivers pinpoint localization of concealed metallic threats across six distinct vertical levels, resolving targets as small as a 25 mm ferrous or non-ferrous metal cube.
Public Transit Hubs & Railway Station Checkpoints
High-density passenger terminals—such as railway stations, public transport interchanges, and airport screening zones—require uninterrupted, rapid pedestrian flow without compromising detection fidelity. The UPMD 6 facilitates continuous screening using an integrated entry-side Go / Stop optical indicator that paces arriving commuters, paired with exit-side red LED zone lights to quickly indicate threat elevation to security staff.
Integrated infrared occupancy sensors drive a multi-mode directional traffic counter recording IN, OUT, and Total IN & OUT volume. With a wide passage clearance of 750 mm (width) x 590 mm (depth) x 2010 mm (height) (± 10 mm), commuters with baggage pass efficiently. The unit operates reliably on volatile electrical lines from 160 to 270 V AC (50 Hz, 100 VA) and features an internal rechargeable battery (they are not included) backup offering up to 2 hours of standalone operation during mains failures.
Corporate IT Offices & Commercial Campuses
Enterprise data centers, corporate headquarters, and IT office parks deploy the UPMD 6 to prevent unauthorized hardware ingress or asset loss. Independent zone sensitivity, digitally configurable from 0 to 99 across all six zones via an integrated programming keypad, allows operators to tune out benign personal accessories like belt buckles and key rings while maintaining high sensitivity for unauthorized electronics or weapons.
The detector features a microprocessor-based, PC-compatible architecture that supports external data logging and remote operational monitoring. Real-time screening feedback is delivered via a 20 x 2 character LCD display coupled with a responsive LCD bar graph that displays instantaneous metal percentage detection.
Stadiums, Sports Arenas & Event Venues
Outdoor and semi-covered event venues subject screening arches to wide thermal shifts and high foot-traffic wear. Constructed from a durable Fibre-Reinforced Plastic (FRP) frame weighing approximately 75 kg, the UPMD 6 operates across ambient temperatures from -5 °C to +55 °C and up to 95% non-condensing relative humidity. Structural anchorage is secured via four heavy-duty foundation nuts and bolts to prevent physical displacement by crowd surges.
High public throughput in event environments requires proven health safety. The continuous wave electromagnetic field generated by the UPMD 6 is CE certified, verified safe for individuals with cardiac pacemakers, and safe for pregnant women during walkthrough screening.
University Campuses, Libraries & Educational Facilities
Institutional entrances at universities, research centers, and public libraries balance stringent access control with welcoming public spaces. Auto-calibration and internal self-test programming immediately flag system faults or sensor drift, ensuring consistent performance without constant manual recalibration. The console houses dedicated diagnostic LED indicators for Mains On, Battery Charging, Battery Low (they are not included), and Overload status to alert technicians of operational discrepancies.
