NIJ-Certified High-Sensitivity Metal Detection

The CEIA USA SMD600 Plus walk-through metal detector is designed for high-security environments that require both strict threat detection and fast screening throughput. Fully compliant with the NIJ-0601.02 Standard, it delivers reliable detection performance for correctional facilities, airports, government buildings, and other critical infrastructure. The system analyzes the entire body from the shoe level to the crossbar and detects metallic threats and contraband while accurately identifying the location of detected metal objects. Dual-side 20×2 localization zones pinpoint the vertical position of metal on the body, allowing security personnel to quickly identify threat locations.

Met-Identity technology distinguishes between ferrous and non-ferrous metals using separate alarm signals to assist secondary inspection decisions. Advanced discrimination technology allows common personal items such as belts, coins, keys, jewelry, watches, and wallets to pass without triggering alarms, reducing nuisance alerts and improving screening flow. With a reset time as short as 0.2 seconds, detection speeds up to 50 ft/sec, and transit flow rates five or more times greater than other metal detection systems, the SMD600 Plus supports efficient screening in high-traffic security checkpoints. The waterproof control unit ensures reliable indoor and outdoor operation, while optional upgrades such as the MI2 sensor enable detection of concealed smartphones and cellphones.

Fast-Track Security: High-Throughput Detection with MI2 Technology

The MI2 sensor is a multi-sensor technology, specifically an 18-axis passive magnetometer, integrated into Walk-Through Metal Detectors (WTMD). This technology combines the ability to detect metallic weapons (including magnetic and non-magnetic weapons and items made of light alloys) with the specific capability to identify mobile devices, including standard and miniaturized cellphones or smartphones with low metal content

The purpose of the MI2 sensor is to optimize security in high-traffic environments, such as correctional facilities, data centers, and corporate meeting rooms. By distinguishing between different types of threats, the system provides specific optical and acoustic signaling (red for weapons and yellow for cell phones). This allows security personnel to immediately identify the type of object detected, facilitating more efficient screenings, better management of access restrictions, and improved prevention of electronic device theft.

Specifications

NIJ-0601.02 Certified Security Screening

The SMD600 Plus is fully compliant with the NIJ-0601.02 Standard for metal detectors used in law enforcement and correctional facilities. This certification ensures reliable detection performance and supports three adjustable security levels for detecting threats ranging from firearms to small metallic contraband, making it well-suited for prisons, government buildings, and high-security checkpoints.

Dual 20×2 Localization Zones

The SMD600 Plus uses dual-side 20×2 localization zones to identify the vertical position of detected metal objects. Visual light bars indicate the height of the detected item on the body, helping security personnel quickly locate the source of an alarm and perform faster secondary screening in high-throughput checkpoints.

High Throughput Detection Performance

The SMD600 Plus is designed for high-throughput security environments where both detection accuracy and speed are critical. With a reset time as short as 0.2 seconds and detection speed up to 50 ft per second, it supports rapid screening while maintaining strong threat detection and reducing nuisance alarms.

Advanced Discrimination Technology

The detector includes advanced discrimination technology that allows common personal items such as belts, coins, keys, jewelry, watches, and wallets to pass without triggering alarms. This reduces unnecessary divesting, allowing security staff to focus on real threats and maintain faster screening.
