手持金属探测器主要用于工厂防盗，场所安检以及考场防作弊，相对于安检门，手持金属探测器更加精确。通过对金属物品的电磁感应而报警，报警方式主要有声光，震动，或者通过耳机。
Handheld metal detectors are mainly used in factory burglar burglar, place security and test grounds to prevent cheating. Compared to security doors, handheld metal detectors are more accurate. By the electromagnetic induction of metal items, alarm, the alarm mode is mainly acousto-optic, vibration, or through the headphones.
手持金属探测器被设计用来探测人或物体携带的金属物。它可以探测出人所携带包裹、行李、信件、织物等内所带武器、炸药或小块金属物品。其敏感表面的特别外观令操作简便易行。优于环形传感器式手探。超高灵敏度，特殊应用。
A handheld metal detector is designed to detect metal objects carried by a person or object. It can detect the arms, explosives, or small pieces of metal carried in a package, luggage, letter, fabric, etc. carried by a person. The special appearance of its sensitive surface makes it easy to operate. Better than ring sensor hand probe. Ultra high sensitivity, special application.
手持式金属探测器用于检查人身携带金属的具体位置，也可配合金属探测门使用，当 “安检门”报警发现金属物品时，用手持式金属探测器即可找到藏有金属物品的准确位置。金属探测器采用长方形检测头，探测区长12公分，检查人体时，从上到下一次性完成检查工作。
The hand held metal detector is used to check the specific location of the metal carried by human body, and also can be used in conjunction with the metal detecting door. When the "security door" alarm finds metal objects, the accurate location of metal objects can be found with the hand held metal detector. The metal detector uses a rectangular detection head, and the detection area is 12 centimeters long. When the human body is checked, the inspection work is completed from top to bottom.
