The M600P is Penetrating, Portable, Handheld, Microwave, Safe and Easy to use.
Typical Operation:
The M600P is held in the hand and the opening placed against the material to be measured. The unit is turned on, producing a very Low-Level microwave signal that is absorbed in the test material and also reflected back into the M600P. The M600P compares the signal it produces with the reflected signal. The results are displayed on a meter on the rear panel of the M600P.
Technical Description:
The M600P Portable Dielectric Tester utilises patented near-field microwave technology to measure the dielectric properties of materials. This technology has made possible a very compact and easy-to-use instrument. For materials which are the same throughout(homogeneous), a change in reading will indicate something is present which should not be. This will give a reason to look into something or to let it pass. The depth of penetration for the M600P is about 4 ft. in air and is correspondingly less depending on the dielectric properties of the materials being tested. For example, for a bale of wool the depth is about 30” and for a water slurry 6”.
Typical Search Scenarios:
1. In a shipment of asphalt or cement blocks, all will normally look the same. Hidden items will show up as differences from normal readings. Readings are taken from the same points from block to block.
2. Frozen shrimp or fish blocks with items frozen in the centrr will give different readings from normal. Readings are taken from one or two points in the centre of the block.
3. Sealed bottles of wine, whiskey, or any drinkable fluid can be tested without opening. Water based fluids (drinkable), give a markedly different response than explosives or drugs. Readings can be taken through carry on bags.
4. In a shipment of similar boxes of ceramic fixtures or other commercial items, boxes can be screened to find those which are different from normal. This can be done from outside the unopened box.
5. Tires should be uniformly empty. A tire with drugs in it will show changes from normal.
Many other search scenarios have been tried with success.
Advanced Search Scenarios:
A user can collect data about the known response of a particular product, and use that from search to search. For example, wine bottles of a known size will always read similarly. A sharply different reading in a new carry on bag would indicate a different substance. In the same way, asphalt blocks will always give the same response. A change should trigger a closer look.
