Conpass body scanner
![]() | Using electromagnetic metal detectors for personnel inspection no longer meets todays requirements for security ensuring at checkpoints. Nowadays non-metallic weapons, plastic and liquid explosives are widely used by terrorists, and drug trafficking is more and more often realised with the help of ingested containers |
| It is therefore of vital importance to increase the security level | |
|
1 At airports and seaports, railways and bus-stations 2 At highly guarded facilities 3 At mines and enterprises dealing with extraction and processing of diamonds, precious stones, rare metals and rare-earths 4 For controlling close access to VIPs 5 At sensitive sites such as nuclear power plants, military premises, embassies etc. | |

The Conpass is a radically innovative personnel inspection system that utilises low dose xray and generates high quality images. This technology based on slot scan principals makes it possible to obtain a clear image of concealed items (whatever the material) within clothing or the body There are now two models of the Conpass available. The Conpass LD This model shows concealed items hidden on the body / within clothing / in body cavities. This model gives gives a dose of 0.25 microsieverts per scan. The Conpass HR This model shows concealed items hidden on or inside a persons body. This model gives a dose of 3 microsieverts per scan. Typical Applications 1 AIRPORTS 2 BORDER CROSSINGS 3 BANKS 4 MILITARY FACILITIES 5 PRISONS 6 COURTS 7 EMBASSIES 8 GOVERNMENTAL BUILDINGS 9 NUCLEAR POWER FACILITIES 10 MINES 11 WEALTHY INDIVIDUALS RESIDENCE 12 HIGH RISK OFFICES Unique Opportunities For Inspection The Conpass is created for the detection of dangerous items: 1 Weapons made of metals, ceramics, plastics, wood and other materials 2 Any objects that can be used as weapons (needles, nails, scissors etc) 3 Components of blasting assemblies, detonators, wires etc. 4 Plastic / Liquid explosives 5 Narcotics (including swallowed) 6 Electronic Devices 7 Precious stones and metals 8 Chemical and Biological Weapons in containers 9 Any objects that can be considered as dangerous or prohibited for a particular use Conpass Technology The Conpass Scanning digital X-ray technology for safety is based on:Forming of extremely narrow (< 2 mm) monochromatic X-ray beam and utilizing a system of collimators and filters for examination of the inspected person. Employing a proprietary, movable platform located between the X-ray beam and detector. Utilizing a highly-sensitive, linear array of semiconductor scintillation detectors. Detecting the radiation passing through the inspected person with with the linear detector and reconstructing a highresolution digital image on the operator's monitor. Basic Principle Of Operation 1 The passenger stands on the platform and holds the handrail 2 The operator selects to commence the scan at the workstation 3 The platform moves taking the person through the gate. 4 A very narrow collimated x-ray beam scans vertically 1700 times. 5 The images are transmitted to the workstation computer screen for the operator to examine for any foreign objects. 6 The scanning process is complete in approximately 8 seconds Safety Safety for the person being inspected : The irradiation of the person during one examination by the Conpass is is insignificant as compared to background radiation. Presence in the sun or any air plane flights deposit much greater contribution to a general irradiation of the person ( dose examples shown on next page) Safety for the Operator : The system can be operated by one or more ndividuals. If the operator is located within the working area at a distance less than 1.5 meters from the scanner the dose received by the operator outside of working area, does not exceed background radiation levels. Safety for the Bystanders : Exposure to radiation outside the working zone does not exceed the level of natural radiation and is therefore safe for bystanders Security Technology Enabling Privacy: The Conpass technology protects public safety without sacrificing privacy | |
