Westminster WG RANGER BOSS II - Body Orifice Security Scanner
Westminster's body scanners are devices that detect objects on or inside a person's body for security screening purposes, without physically removing clothes or making physical contact.
INTRODUCTION
Boss II Body Orifice Security Scanner helps to make prisons safe for inmates and staff by providing a non-intrusive method of detecting objects concealed in body cavities.
B.O.S.S II 5s is a fast reliable, simple to use, non-intrusive scanning system designed to detect small weapons or contrabandmetal objects concealed in abdominal cavity, rectal-vaginal cavity and shin area. High precision, non-contact, measurementsensors are housed in the frame of rugged Baltic Birch wood that is coated in RF resistant paint for improved EMI rejection.
The sensors provide instantaneous, high sensitivity detection, most ferrous and non-ferrous metals and alloys are detected.
B.O.S.S II 5s is applicable for both law enforcement and loss prevention applications:. Prisons, jails and detection centers.
Customs and Border Patrol Facilities.
Precious metal mines and refineries. Jewelry and watch manufacturing industries. Electronic manufacturing
B.O.S.S. II 5s contributes to a safe enviroment for officersand inmates in correctional facilities as it helps to preventand deter the entry of weapons. Inmates soon learn thatobjects such as razor blades, knifes, shanks, tools, handcuff keys, etc. will be detected. Security officers now have an alternativeto the unpleasant task of conducting routine manual cavity searches and associated administrative work. Because theinspection is non-contact, issues that can arise fron invasive searches are reduced.B.O.S.S. II 5s can also be used in loss prevention applications. It detects items such as gold shot, rings, watches andmicroelectronic components. Measurements of metal mass allow accurate comparative testing as people enter and exit asecure production area.
The chair configuration ensures accurate position of the subject for detection of any metal object concealed in the body cavity.Relative to a walk-through or hand held scanning device, a much higher measurement of precision is possible.
Alarm Display Panel
Each of the BOSS II 5s detection zones alarm statusIs identified by a green and red L.E.D. (light Emitting Diode).
The L.E.D.s indicates the activity in the zone.The Green L.E.D.s indicates the zone is in READY state (operational).
The illumination of Red L.E.D. indicates the system is in the ALARM
State and the zone sensor indicating that has detected the presence of metal within the detection zone. (the sensor(s)is detecting a target).
When the BOSS II 5s is turned on it undergoes a self calibration, the L.E.D.s Will come on with one Audio alarm at theend of the self test.
Now the BOSS II 5s is ready and in the scanning mode.
Abdominal, Rectal, and Vagina Screening
When a subject sits on the BOSS II 5s their feet, legs, lower cavity(s)and abdominal region are scanned by a very low intensity magneticfield.
Therefore intrusive manual scanning is not required.
The magnetic field poses no danger to persons with a heart pacemaker or affects pregnancies.
The BOSS II 5s alarm is activated when a person is carrying a concealedmetal object and moves within range of the detection field.
When the object is detected, the audio alarm and the correspondingvisual alarm (L.E.D.) will be activated.
The visual alarm may be in more than one zone. If a multi zone visualalarm is triggered, it indicates that the target is being detected bymore than one scanning zone.
If the zone are adjacent to each other this indicates thesubject may be concealing a large object.
If the zones are not adjacent and a multi zone alarm is triggered this indicates the subject is concealing objects in multiple areasof the body.
Remember, the detection of metal object occurs when, the objectmoves through or near the scanning zone.
The alarm stops when the object stops moving though the scanningfield. Five (5) seconds or less sitting is enough time to detect a target.
It is not recommended to allow the subject to sit on the BOOS II 5s foran extended period of time and expect to detect a target.
