What
is the Metal-TEC 1400?
The Metal-TEC 1400 is the original compact silent weapons
detector built for Law Enforcement and Corrections, with advanced
detection features which allow the user to distinguish the size,
mass and shape of a hidden metal object.
What
is "Vibration Signature"?
Vibration
Signature is a feature of the Metal-TEC 1400 which can help the
user in determining the approximate physical shape and size of a
metal object being detected.
How
Do I Use Vibration Signature?
After detecting a metal object, take the Metal-TEC and turn it on
end, pointing it's narrow probe end toward the object. Now move
the Metal-TEC up and down (vertically) and side to side (horizontally)
over the object being detected. By observing where, and when the
vibration starts and stops while moving the Metal-TEC over the object,
the operator can determine its approximate length and width which
will help determine the objects physical size, and pinpoint its
location.
What
is "Density Discrimination"?
Density
Discrimination is a feature of the Metal-TEC 1400 which can help
you determine the possible threat level of the metal object being
detected based upon the amount of metal in the object. The distance
at which the Metal-TEC 1400 detects an object can help the user
determine the object's mass relative to its volume.
How
do I use Density Discrimination?
Larger objects such as handguns can be detected approximately 3
to 4 inches away. Smaller objects such as razor blades can be detected
approximately 1 to 2 inches away, and metal foil (which may contain
drugs) can be detected approximately 1 /8 inch to 1 inch away based
on the size or amount of foil.
Does
my Metal TEC 1400 come with a warranty?
Yes, every unit comes from the factory with a 3 year limited warranty
against manufacturer's defects.
Is
my Metal-TEC 1400 water resistant?
Yes, the Metal-TEC 1400 is water-resistant to a distance of 35 Feet.
How
do I turn on my Metal-TEC?
Press the On/Off button located on the center of the unit under
the vinyl grip. Press the button once to turn the unit on, and again
to turn the unit back off. Do not hold the power button
down.
Why
does my Metal-TEC 1400 vibrate in the holster?
The unit was designed so that the Metal-TEC would vibrate when in
the holster. This is a sort of "self test" to show that
the unit is working, and also prevents leaving the unit on after
performing a search.
How
do I know if my Metal-TEC 1400 has detected metal?
When the Metal-TEC 1400 starts to vibrate it indicates the presence
of metal.
Will
wearing jewelry affect use of the Metal-TEC 1400?
Yes, wearing jewelry while performing a search is not recommended
as it may cause the unit to give false readings.
Do
I ever need to calibrate my Metal-TEC 1400?
No, the sensitivity on each unit is factory calibrated and automatically
compensates for temperature changes.
Why
does my Metal-TEC 1400 vibrate constantly even when no metal is
present?
This maybe an indication that your battery is running low. Replace
battery with a new 9v Alkaline battery. If problem persists contact
Torfino Enterprises Inc. for an RMA#.
How
do I replace the battery in my Metal-TEC 1400?
Unscrew the two screws holding the battery door on. Gently remove
the battery so as not to damage the unit. Insert a new 9v Alkaline
battery with the terminals facing into the unit. The battery is
non-polarity sensitive, which means it can be placed either direction
so long as the battery is inserted terminals first into the unit.
Replace battery cap and screw back on being careful not to overtighten
the screws.
How
do I remove a battery that is stuck inside the battery compartment?
Turn the unit upside down (With battery compartment facing down)
and lightly tap on battery, or move battery from side to side until
it comes loose. Never pull on the stuck battery as this
may damage the battery terminals which will require factory servicing.
