Garrett PD 6500i - World's Most Advanced Walk Through Metal Detector

The Garrett PD 6500i walk through metal detector utilizes Garrett's exclusive digital signal processor (DSP) based technology to provide superior target detection coverage on the left, center and right side of the body from head to toe.

Multi Zone Detection

Unique 33-zone pinpoint detection assures the ultimate in safety, throughput and reliability with preset programs to cover the most complete range of security applications, including the new Transportation Security Administration's (TSA) Enhanced Metal Detector System required for all U.S. airports.

Multi-dimensional coil design detects guns, knives and other flat and rod-shaped weapons regardless of archway location. Zone adjustment enables the Garrett PD 6500i maximum detection regardless of environmental challenges. Easy-to view eye-level pacing lights with international "wait" and "proceed" symbols on the entrance side of each panel.

In this video below, produced by our team here at metaldetector.com, we cover two Garrett Security metal detectors. We compare the Garrett PD 6500i and the Garrett Multi Zone walk through detectors. Both versions are available with an optional ADA compliant passageway to meet ADA regulatory standards.  

Intuitive Detection

Easy operation with backlit LCD and LED bar graphs for continuous online operating status and self-diagnostic reporting.

The following details from the manufacturer, Garrett Metal Detectors, provides additional detail on this model:

Accurate Pinpointing

With more than four times the detection coils of competitive models, the PD 6500i™ provides uniform detection and precise pinpointing. Independent zone indicator lights on both side panels identify not only height but also left, center and right locations for one or more objects passing through the archway.

33 Zones

View a demonstration of the PD 6500i’s 33 pinpoint zones in this video below. Identify multiple target locations precisely from head to toe on the left, center, and right sides of the body.

International Security Standards

PD 6500i™ meets the world’s highest test certifications, including the following international airports: TSA (US airports) | ECAC (European airports) | STAC (French airports) | Aena (Spanish airports) | CJIAC (Japanese airports).

Portable Protection

Fast, easy, versatile security. Equipped with optional casters and battery module, the PD 6500i™ can be rapidly deployed at special events, stadiums, schools, and other large venues.

No wires to deal with. Easy to move to another location with a moment’s notice.

Garrett Walk-Through Metal Detector Safety

Garrett walk-through metal detectors meet U.S. and international regulatory requirements for electromagnetic safety. Extensive research has found no information that would indicate Garrett products have adverse effects on pregnancy, medical devices (such as pacemakers) or magnetic recording media. However, directives by physicians and medical device manufacturers regarding metal detectors should be followed.

In many of the world's top airports, the Garrett PD 6500i is used at security checkpoints approved by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). Garrett's PD6500i uses Garrett's digital signal processor (DSP) to provide 33 detection zones to provide pinpoint detection. With its multi-dimensional coil design, the PD6500i detects knives, guns, and other objects in any archway. With 33 Pinpoint Zones, this Garrett metal detector provides unmatched discrimination features and superior pinpoint technology which provides exceptional coverage from head to toe. With over 20 standard programs, it offers turn-on and go simplicity and is designed for Security Application Versatility. It features an adjustable operating frequency. The PD 6500i traffic counter records the number of patrons passing through the detector, the number of alarms and the alarm percentage.
