Why Security Teams Choose the CEIA PD140E

Built for the Hardest
Security Problems

01

Detection Across All Metal Types

From magnetic and non-magnetic targets to stainless steel, the CEIA PD140E delivers uniform sensitivity across all metal types.
02

Ergonomic Design

Like the best handheld metal detectors for security, the offset hand grip keeps the operator’s hand clear of the detection area, speeding up screenings.
03

Three Alarm Modes

As a high-end metal detector, the CEIA PD140E offers acoustic, optical, and vibration alarms for discreet, reliable screening.
04

100+ Hours of Continuous Operation

Powered by two standard AA alkaline or NiMH rechargeable batteries, the PD140E runs for over 100 hours, requiring no mid-event charging.
05

Calibration-Free Operation

Digital Signal Processing technology helps these security metal detectors deliver consistent performance from the first scan to the last with zero calibration required.
06

Built for Heavy Use

The casing is manufactured from shock-resistant technical polymers with high chemical resistance, engineered to survive heavy-duty, high-frequency use.
Frequently Asked Questions

CEIA PD140E Handheld Metal Detector FAQs

Explore the CEIA PD140E handheld metal detector with answers to frequently asked questions about its features, operation, and performance.
What types of metal can the CEIA PD140E detect?

Among modern security metal detectors, the PD140E detects both magnetic and non-magnetic metals, including stainless steel.

Its uniform sensitivity helps security personnel screen people with greater accuracy and fewer missed detections.

Does the CEIA PD140E meet NIJ standards?

Yes. The PD140E complies with NIJ Standard 0602.02 and is designed to meet the latest draft NIJ 0602.03 requirements, making it a trusted choice for high-security screening environments.

How long does the battery last?

The PD140E runs for more than 100 hours on two standard AA alkaline batteries.

A built-in low-battery indicator provides advance notice when it’s time for a replacement, helping minimize interruptions during operation.

Where is the CEIA PD140E typically used?

The PD140E is trusted wherever security metal detectors are needed, including government buildings, airports, correctional facilities, schools, public events, and other high-security locations.

Can the CEIA PD140E operate without regular calibration?

It can. Calibration is one of those recurring maintenance chores that quietly eats into a security team’s time, and the PD140E is built to skip it entirely.

Its fully digital design, driven by Digital Signal Processing (DSP), holds steady performance on its own, so detection stays reliable across the life of the device.

What alarm options does the CEIA PD140E offer?

Alerts come in three forms: acoustic, optical, and vibration.

They’re programmable, so operators can adapt them to noisy terminals or situations where a discreet signal matters.

On the other hand, the proportional optical indicator displays low, medium, or high signal strength to help assess detections quickly.

Is the CEIA PD140E suitable for outdoor use?

Yes. The PD140E is designed for both indoor and outdoor operation.

Its durable construction and wide operating temperature range allow it to perform reliably in a variety of environmental conditions.
