HI-PE Plus

Enhanced Walk-Through Multi-Zone Metal Detector

The HI-PE Plus multi-zone metal detector provides accurate detection of all metals, high discrimination of non-threatening items, full compliance with the latest security standards, and exceptional immunity to external interference. The HI-PE Plus maintains a very low false alarm rate even at the strictest security levels required today, thereby enabling high throughput rates and minimal intervention by inspection personnel.

  • Accurate detection of all metallic dangerous objects
  • High discrimination and throughput capacity
  • Exceptional Immunity to External Interference
  • Complies with and is certified to the strictest security standards for weapons detection
  • Unmatched reliability
  • Quick Installation
  • Panel design

Reliable detection of all metallic dangerous objects

  • Ability to detect all metallic weapons, even in body cavities
  • 60 localization zones: 20 vertical; 3 lateral
  • Met-Identity technology for identifying the composition of threat objects


The most modern security standards require the detection of all weapons made of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, as well as those manufactured from special non-magnetic alloys. The HI-PE Plus detects firearms and knives of this type, even when hidden in body cavities, and accurately displays the position of the threat, its intensity, and its predominant composition. This provides inspection personnel with comprehensive information about the metal object, allowing them to act with maximum effectiveness and safety according to procedures.

The most powerful and versatile security features

Up to 50 Integrated Security Programs:

  • Up to 30 International Standards
  • Up to 20 Customizable Levels

Setting security levels could not be easier or more versatile than with the HI-PE Plus.

Users can select directly from recognized international standards or request the implementation of a standard tailored to their own requirements. Additionally, they can create their own program and save it in internal memory for later use.

Chip card system for quick, easy, and secure parameter changes (e.g., alarm volume and tone, counter readings, etc., as well as security level selection).

A unique feature of CEIA metal detectors is the chip card system, which allows security management to set the security level quickly and reliably without any programming of the device.

Each security standard can be extended with a selectable random alarm probability.

High discrimination performance and high throughput

  • Thanks to state-of-the-art discrimination technology, personal items are ignored, allowing for rapid transit
  • Items such as belts, coins, keys, jewelry, watches, wallets, etc., do not need to be removed
  • Better discrimination performance = shorter queues and/or lower staffing requirements

The magnetic walk-through scanning system developed by CEIA, which has been in use since the production of the first zone metal detectors in 1986, enables state-of-the-art detection and discrimination results.

The HI-PE Plus maintains a very low false alarm rate even with the strictest security standards required today, thereby enabling high throughput rates and a minimal need for intervention by inspection personnel.

New IP66 WTMDs control unit

  • New integrated design
  • Full mechanical compatibility with IP20 (plastic) and IP65 (stainless steel) control units:
    • Dimensions
    • Installation
    • Wiring
    • Chip card
  • Robust construction through the use of high-performance polymers for housing manufacturing
  • Waterproof and dustproof: complies with protection class IP66
  • Exceptional impact resistance at low and high temperatures, as well as resistance to corrosion from weathering
  • Display made of a special polymer to improve LED visibility by increasing resolution and clarity

Unique Alarm Signaling

  • Good visibility of the control unit and zone display, independent of operator position and installation environment
  • Flexible acoustic alarm system: 10 continuous and pulse tones; 34 special tones
  • 10 alarm volume levels
  • High-precision transit counter

Accurate signaling is essential for optimal operation and flow management. The detector offers the user fully programmable signaling. Both inputs can indicate—with high precision and even simultaneously—the vertical and lateral passage areas of detected threats and can also be configured as a “traffic light” to control passage through the detector.
