About ADE 651

Portable Substance Detection
ADE 651 is the current generation of long-range substance detector products offered by ATSC. As with the other ADE substance detectors, it incorporates the long range electromagnetic attraction, (we have deemed EMA) to enable the effective identification of even the most difficult substances including explosive and narcotic materials. Unlike other trace detectors that are limited by the need to have actual physical contact with the item sampled; the ADE 651 is able to detect programmed substances at long distances safely and without the need to have actual physical contact with the substance. As such, the ADE 651 continues to set standards for the detection of substances unlike other products on the market today. It is easy to operate and delivers quick detection of programmed substances in a small, lightweight package. Part of the new features include reduced 'false-positive' readings on contaminated targets. (NOTE: Static-meter shown in the picture above is an optional extra).

Portable and Easy-to-Use
The ADE 651 was designed with portability and ease of use in mind. Setup takes less than one minute and can be transported easily in its carrying case. It can be used by multiple operators with minimal recalibration.
Results require minimal interpretation by the operator and can easily be reconfirmed using other detection equipment or means. An ATSC's Operator Training Course provides complete training for the operator to be able to identify substance detection and to take the proper steps to interpret the level of the identification. The ADE 651 identifies the existence of the programmed substance but it does not quantify the amount or level of substance detected. In "real-world" situations, detection levels are in the pictogram range and below. The trained Operator is able to decipher these levels and take appropriate steps to confirm the existence, type, and location of the target substance to less than a four cubic meter area. Please note that the ADE is not designed as a pin point locator but is designed to narrow and define an area or areas that require further investigation.
