Questions
about the Metal-Tec 1400
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.
