1. FOREWORD
This Manual should be studied before any manipulation is made with
the Detector.
2. PRECAUTIONS
The following precautions should be taken when operating the equipment.
Entering the premise from the cold, keep the Detector in a carrying case for at least 2
hours before opening.
When setting the equipment ensure that:
•the ventilation holes are not covered;
•air is allowed to circulate freely around the body;
•it is on a vibration free surface;
•it will not be exposed to strong interference from an external source;
•it will not be exposed to electrostatic discharges;
• itwillnotbeexposedtoexcessiveheat(higherthen70°Сevenwhenit’sswitched
off) or to direct sunlight;
•avoid condensate, splashes or water from entering the inside of the Main Unit
body. If a foreign body or water does enter the equipment contact your nearest
dealer or service center;
•don’t use the Main Unit in a dusty and smoky environment;
•Do not remove the cover from the body!
•Do not handle the cables with wet hands!
•Do not pull out the plugs by pulling on the cables - hold the plug!
•In addition, never place heavy objects on the equipment!
WARNINGS
PILOT®-M1 represents a functionally complete device – thus needs
no maintenance from the User.
Don’t try to disassemble it.
Ask qualied personnel for service and repair.

3. RECOMMENDATIONS
The portable Explosive Vapor Detector (EVD) «PILOT®-M1» is intended for detection of
charges of explosives in non-tight volumes and traces of explosives on a surface of surveyed
objects. Detection is carried out by sampling air from internal volumes of surveyed objects
or from their surfaces and the analysis of tests on contents of characteristic components of
explosive vapor.
The detector is capable to detect traces of explosives based on nitroglycerine (NG), EGDN,
trinitrotoluene (tol, trotyl, TNT), PENT (tetranitrapentaerythrit, pentaerythrittetranitrate,
Pentrit, PENT), hexogen (RDX), oktogen (HMX), tetryl (Tetril) and nitrocellulose powders,
engaging mixing explosives on their ground: Semtex and other plastic and elastic explosives
on the basis of RDX, PENT or their mixture, B-type compositions (ТГ-20, ТГ-40, ТГ-60, ТГ-
80, МС, ТГАФ)*, C-type (C1, C2, C3, C4, ПВВ-4*, ПВВ-5А*, ПВВ-7*, ПВВ-12М*, ЭВВ-11*,
ЭВВ-32*, and etc.), H-6, HBX, Minol-2, Amatol (amatol, аммонит № 6-ЖВ*), Primacord,
Primasheet, Tetritol, Tritonal, Cordit N, A-IX-1, A-IX-2, A-IX-20, octols*, ocfols* and etc.
* - explosives of Russian origin.
4. OPERATIONAL PRINCIPLE
The proper sample collection is governing condition for any trace detector. The versatile
Pilot®-M1 Detector is capable of analyzing either trace particle or vapor samples, allowing
the operator to apply an adequate sampling technique for the substance suspected.
For example, most explosives do not have a strong vapor presence and in the real world are
very difcult to detect by vapor. Therefore, the most reliable collection and analysis method
for those substances is particle collection.
The Pilot®-M1 operational principle is based on Drift Spectrometry method - free ions mobility
in an alternating electric eld. Explosives vapor detection is realized by assay collection from
the suspect object surface or its inner space and subsequent analysis of these samples for
the presence of typical components. Sample collection is accomplished by means of air
suction from object’s surface or through the holes, chinks and slots in its body. It can be done
directly or by means of additional pump. Assay for analysis can be obtained by wiping the
inspected surface with sampling swabs as well.
Explosives particles collected by swab or its adsorbed vapor are ionized and directed
into a drift-box with alternating electric eld. Then distinctive ions typical to explosives are
separated and registered.

The obtained analysis data is processed by build-in CPU and displayed on LCD.
Special sample Heater (supplied) provides ultimate possibilities:
– Explosives detection not only from a gaseous but also solid phase (microparticles).
– Less volatile matters detection like RDX, PENT and compositions on their base (plastic
explosives).
– Minimization of environment inuence (humidity, low & high temperature) on detection
facility.
– Simultaneous sample collection in various places by means of dedicated Sampler Unit
or swabs
Moreover, supplementary Gauze Sampler Unit (air pump) allows operator to collect samples
even in a dusty and smoky environment when a direct usage of the Pilot®-M1 Main Unit is
not recommended.
SPECIAL WARNING: «Pilot®-M1» Explosive Vapor Detector is a high sensitive device.
•don’t use the Detector in a premise where explosives are stored;
•do not allow personnel with direct contact with explosives from any operation with
Pilot®-M1 Detector.
