RCM-4000 [Orion Remote Control]
 The RCM-4000 Remote Control Module is a new addition to the ORION.
The RCM enables the ORION to be placed in a fixed position and the operator to be stationed up to 20 meters away and possibly out of site of the ORION in a safe location. Operation using the remote control module is identical to normal ORION operating procedures. No additional training needed!
This ORION accessory is a direct result of requests from our clients, and many units have already been sold for anti-terrorism applications. The RCM-4000 has many practical uses. Most of these uses involve the pre-screening of packages, suspicious items, luggage, or people for electronics. Using this approach, the presence of electronic circuitry may be evaluated prior to using other detection equipment such as X-ray. Furthermore, this electronic evaluation may be conducted without moving or touching the suspicious item. Some examples are:
- Positioning the ORION over a suspicious package using a Tri-pod.
- Placing the ORION on a robot vehicle with the operator located away from any potential hazard to examine suspicious packages.
- Positioning the ORION over a conveyer belt carrying postal packages, and providing long term monitoring from a centralized location.
- Covert situations in which the technician must be out of sight. Placing the ORION in a chair, desk, or conference room table.

The ORC-4000 provides power for the ORION and itself through the use of a standard 7.2V NiCd ORION Battery or an External DC input from 9-24 Volts. When connected to an external power source the ORC is capable of providing a maintenance charge to the Battery on the ORC. Full charging should be done with the Quick Charger provided in the ORION Case.
Also available is an optional, heavy-duty, professional tripod (TRI-4000). This useful tool mounts the ORION in a fixed position. A custom mounting bracket for ORION is included with this optional accessory.
