High Performance Passive Command Wire Detectors - WD10

WD10 is a high performance passive command wire detector for use by CIED Search teams and IEDD operators. The detector is easy to use, having simple controls for power and pin-pointing a target. Target detection is indicated by a clear audible alert, via the integral sounder or an optional earphone.

Command Wire Detector - WD10

The detector is supplied in two parts that are easily assembled for use and split apart for transport using a simple hand-tightened collar fixing. Total time to make operational from packed transit case is less than 3 minutes.

The detector uses sophisticated digital detection and performs automatic calibration to ensure that sensitivity is always optimal. The advanced microcontroller design also performs power management functions and continual background diagnostics.

WD10 is powered by three standard alkaline D cells giving more than 12 hours of typical search use.

The detector features a unique ergonomically designed handle allowing prolonged search periods without strain. The advanced electronics are protected by a lightweight, high strength metal enclosure.
