06Frequently asked questions
Which is cheaper?
A hand-held wand costs less, but an arch is faster for crowds. Many sites use both.
Can a wand replace an arch?
For small crowds, yes. For steady crowds an arch keeps the line moving.
How long does installation take?
Usually a few hours for one unit once the spot is agreed. We install, set the sensitivity, test it and train your team.
