Operational Advantages and Mobility
Enhanced Inspection Capabilities
The trolley-mounted design allows security officers to conduct efficient vehicle searches with minimal physical strain. The Under Search Mirror VMBD/2 features smooth-rolling castors that enable easy positioning around vehicles of various sizes, from passenger cars to light commercial vehicles.
Flexible Handle Configuration
The hinged aluminum handle system adapts to different inspection requirements:
- Ground-level positioning for maximum undercarriage penetration
- Adjustable height settings accommodate different operator preferences
- Ergonomic design reduces fatigue during extended inspection periods
- Lightweight construction facilitates single-operator use
- Compact storage when handle is folded
Lighting System and Visual Clarity
Professional Illumination Technology
The Under Search Mirror VMBD/2 incorporates dual 6-watt fluorescent lamps housed in splash-proof acrylic enclosures. This lighting system eliminates shadows and dark spots that could conceal suspicious items during undercarriage inspections.
Independent Lamp Operation
The fluorescent lamp assembly features a 2-meter (6.6ft) flying lead with handle grip, allowing operators to use it independently as a handheld search light. This versatility extends the equipment’s utility beyond vehicle undercarriage inspections to general security search operations.
Security Applications and Deployment
Checkpoint Operations
Security checkpoints at government facilities, corporate headquarters, and critical infrastructure sites rely on the Under Search Mirror VMBD/2 for routine vehicle screening. The equipment’s mobility allows rapid deployment between inspection lanes as traffic patterns change throughout operational periods.
Event Security and Temporary Installations
The battery-powered operation makes the Under Search Mirror VMBD/2 ideal for temporary security installations where electrical power may not be readily available. Event security teams appreciate the equipment’s portability and extended operating time during long shifts.
Power Management and Battery Life
Extended Operation Capability
The 10 D-cell battery configuration provides reliable power for extended security operations. Battery placement within the handle maintains equipment balance while protecting power cells from environmental exposure and accidental damage.
Power Conservation Features
The 3-way switch system enables operators to conserve battery life through selective illumination control:
- Off position completely disconnects power to extend battery life
- Latching mode provides continuous illumination for prolonged inspections
- Momentary setting activates lights only when switch is pressed
Durability and Environmental Resistance
Construction Materials
Professional security environments demand robust equipment construction. The Under Search Mirror VMBD/2 utilizes polycarbonate mirror surfaces that resist impact damage while maintaining optical clarity. The aluminum handle construction provides strength without excessive weight.
Weather Protection
The splash-proof lamp housing protects electrical components from moisture exposure during outdoor operations. This protection ensures reliable operation in various weather conditions commonly encountered at security checkpoints.
Maintenance and Service Requirements
Routine Maintenance Procedures
Regular maintenance keeps the Under Search Mirror VMBD/2 operating at peak performance levels. Simple cleaning procedures maintain mirror clarity and lamp efficiency:
- Weekly: Mirror surface cleaning with appropriate polycarbonate cleaners
- Monthly: Battery level verification and connection inspection
- Quarterly: Lamp replacement as needed and castor lubrication
- Semi-annually: Handle hinge inspection and tightening
- Annually: Complete electrical system testing and calibration
Training and Operational Guidelines
Operator Training Requirements
Effective use of the Under Search Mirror VMBD/2 requires proper training in inspection techniques and equipment operation. Security personnel learn systematic search patterns that ensure complete undercarriage coverage while maintaining inspection speed.
Safety Protocols
Operational safety protocols address proper equipment positioning, traffic control during inspections, and communication procedures between inspection teams and vehicle operators.
The Under Search Mirror VMBD/2 represents a practical investment in comprehensive vehicle security screening capabilities, providing security professionals with reliable equipment that enhances inspection thoroughness while maintaining operational efficiency.
