    1. Introduction RAKSA iDet Selective RF Detector can be used to detect and locate in near field a wide variety of surveillance devices, including cell phones of GSM 850 / 900E / 1800 / 1900, UMTS 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 / 2100, CDMA 450 (A-H) / 800 / 1900 standards, cordless DECT telephones, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi devices.

  • Page 7: Operating Principle

    2. Operation Principle RAKSA iDet Selective RF Detector is a superheterodyne receiver with low IF and frequency synthesizer. It provides continuous scanning of frequency range and analysis of spectrogram peaks. The standard digital signals are identified by their amplitude-time characteristic.

  • Page 8: Operation Instructions

    3. Operation Instructions Radio transmitter detection requires two complimentary steps – search and monitoring. Search Mode enables to detect and locate the transmitters activated to the moment. Monitoring Mode provides continuous monitoring of the radio signals thus the transmitters are detected at the moment of their activation. Before searching the target area all the radio signal sources should be switched off (mobile and cordless telephones, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, microwave ovens).

    wide range of signal magnitude. Use the Digital Signals Monitoring Mode to define the signal levels of mobile and cordless phones, Bluetooth and the like and adjust the threshold level if necessary. The higher is the threshold level the less probable is false alarm but distance of detection will lessen as well.
  • Page 10 Simultaneous operation and charging is possible but the recharging period will increase. The continual plug-in charging unit might shorten the life cycle of the battery. If you don't plan to use the RF Detector for a considerable period of time, please recharge the battery fully and then repeat recharging it each six months.

  • Page 11: On/Off And Operation

    5. ON/OFF and Operation To switch the Detector on or off press and hold the button [C/PWR] for more than one second until you hear the sound signal. After the activation the display shows the main menu. The buttons ▲ («up») and ▼ («down») are there to navigate the menu, the list of signals or to change the selected figures.

  • Page 12: The Main Menu

    6. The Main Menu The main menu is used for selecting the required mode of operating or its settings. The menu contains the following functions: – Monitoring Mode Monitoring – Sweep Mode Sweep – Search Mode Search – Difference Search Mode Diff.

  • Page 13: Monitoring Mode

    7. Monitoring Mode 7.1 Monitoring Mode, when to use Monitoring Mode provides continuous monitoring of detected analog and digital radio signals in automatic mode and setting alarm in case of threat radio signal (signal exceeding the preset threshold level) detection. Monitoring Mode is used in cases when the primary signal source has not been activated.
  • Page 14 been selected this stage is omitted. Any analog signal registered at the time of background accumulation will not be classified later as threat. After the accumulation the Monitoring Mode is launched automatically. If the RF Detector does not detect any threat signals the display indicates “OK”. If any threat signal is detect the display indicates “ALARM”, specifying the type of the signal;...

    7.3 Threat Signal Monitoring Monitoring of any threat signal could be done by pressing [OK] button. To return to Monitoring Mode press [OK] or [C] button. Monitoring of threat signal does not interrupt Monitoring Mode. 7.4 Log Review from the Monitoring Mode To review the Alarm Events Log from the Monitoring Mode please press ▲...

  • Page 16: Sweep Mode

    8. Sweep Mode Sweep Mode is used for detection of analog and digital radio signals of all types. This mode allows the review of all detected signals regardless their level. The display shows the list of current detected signals classified according to frequency or type of signal. The list starts from the analog signals with the defined frequency.

  • Page 17: Search Mode

    9. Search Mode 9.1 Search Mode, how and when to use The Search Mode is used for detection and location of analog and digital transmitters. This mode is used when you can move the RF Detector around searching for a radio transmitter. The types of signals detected are similar to the ones detected in Monitoring Mode.

  • Page 18: Difference Search Mode

    Relative level means the difference of current and reference levels. Initially the reference level is set as equal to the current one and the LED does not produce any flash. When the RF Detector is moved around the frequency of flashing grows with the growth of relative level.

  • Page 19: Difference Search Mode, How To Operate

    10.2 Difference Search Mode, how to operate Difference Search Mode starts from 5 sec reference spectrum signal accumulation. The display indicates progress accumulation. When accumulation is complete the display indicates the analog signal of maximal relative level. To audio monitor the current signal press [OK] (see Audio Monitoring).

  • Page 20: Audio Monitoring

    In Monitoring of Digital Signals the display shows the list of all digital signals and their strength levels. To browse the list use ▲ or ▼ buttons. To monitor one selected signal press [OK]. To return to the list press [OK] or [C]. 12.

  • Page 21: Alarm Events Log

    13. Alarm Events Log Alarm Events Log accumulates the information about the threat signals detected in the Monitoring Mode. The max number of records – 200. Before initiating the Monitoring Mode all records are deleted. When the mode is reiterated you can continue the records or wipe them off. The records are saved regardless any switch/off-on manipulations.

    To review the records use ▲ or ▼buttons. To escape press [OK] or [C]. 14. Settings To choose the settings press [OK], make changes, pressing ▲ or ▼, to save the new parameter press [OK], to return to the previous parameter press [C]. 14.1 Types of Detected Signals Selection of signal types in Monitoring and Search Modes.
