RSD Security Scanners

RSD Security Scanners

RSD Security Scanners (formerly Ranger Security Detectors) is a leading manufacturer of high-efficiency metal detectors for weapon screening and asset protection utilizing the latest cutting edge technology. RSD Ranger products are among the most dependable in the security industry, and are used in areas such as correctional facilities, hospitals, government security equipment points, airport security stations, and school systems while protecting a diverse range of people from heads-of-state to children attending school.

The RSD Security Scanners Ranger BOSS II Chair is a 5-Zone Body Orifice Security Scanner designed as a safe, non-intrusive method of detecting objects concealed in body cavities. It is commonly used in corrections facilities to scan inmates for weapons and contraband objects hidden in all body cavities. At some sites visitors are also screened. The B.O.S.S. III has undergone extensive testing at US State and Federal Corrections facilities and has received considerable attention in both the electronic and print media. Typical objects being targeted are razor blades, handcuff keys, paper clips, knives, shanks and tools, as well as metal foils and objects such as detonator caps. Razor blades are of particular concern as they are difficult to detect in all orientations with walk-through devices. The BOSS II allows scanning of the oral, abdominal, anal/vaginal, leg/shin, and foot area for potential contraband.

Helps to Eliminate Stabbings and Slashings
B.O.S.S. minimizes the need for unpleasant intrusive manual searches and increases the safety of officers and inmates. Because the measurement method is non-intrusive, it eliminates the liability and safety issues associated with manual searches. It also saves the time and expense involved in X-raying a person suspected of concealing contraband metal. The B.O.S.S. III can be used to conduct a 100% inspection of inmates being inducted into a facility, for cell block inspections and searches of inmates being transported. Scanning inmates prior to transportation enhances security by ensuring that they have no handcuff keys or paper clips that could aid an escape. B.O.S.S.III is a powerful deterrent as it helps to limit the number of weapons that enter and circulate throughout the inmate population.

Mobility Increases the Deterrence Factor
The B.O.S.S. II is equipped with wheels, allowing it to be moved to cell blocks and other locations for snap inspections. It can be moved by tilting the chair backwards and wheeling it like a wheelbarrow.

Fast, Safe, Efficient Screening
The screening procedure is safe, fast and efficient. The person being screened simply positions his / her chin near the oral sensor and then sits momentarily in the chair. The entire procedure takes just a few seconds. Magnetic field sensors housed in the seat of the chair and the oral sensor assembly automatically interrogate for the presence of metal. Audio and visual alarms are activated when metal is carried into the magnetic field. An alarm remains activated for the duration that an object is within the low intensity magnetic field.

A Unique Measurement Technique
The measurement method is unique in so much that it detects ferrous and non-ferrous objects that are either stationary or moving. Eddy current field detection sensors are installed within the chair assembly. The geometry of the chair and oral sensor configuration provides tight magnetic coupling between the sensor and a concealed metal object. Because of the excellent geometry and the combination of dynamic and non-motion detection techniques, small objects are more reliably detected than with a walk-through or hand held detector.
