SSF BAT
Ultrasonic detector

Characteristics

• 2 parallel working ways of detection
1. manually operated: mixer mode (Heterodyne)
2. automatically operated: scanner with frequency
indicator and spectrogram of bat calls (frequency
devisor) – so no bat call gets lost anymore!
• Applicable for expert as well as for beginners
• Frequency range 15 kHz to 130 kHz infinitely
adjustable in steps of 1 kHz
• Continuous display of maximum values while scan-
ning, ideal for easy bat detection
• Up to 4 fixed frequency programmable for fast
accessing of known bat species
• Easy to handle, adjustments are saved
• Very good sensibility, because of special ultrasonic
microphone in combination with a high quality pre-
amplifier stage
• High quality of sound and volume, brilliant clear
and differentiated transfer of bat call through inte-
grated 1,5 W speaker
• Modern microprocessor technology, LCD with
adjustable backlight (which can be switched off)
• Auto shut-off for battery protection (adjustable from
1 min to ∞)
• Optimally suitable for use in eavesdrop boxes
• Indication of status of battery charge
• 3,5 mm earphone jack plug

Technical details

  • Page 2: Disposal Of Electrical And Electronic Products

    Disposal of electrical and electronic products The implementation of European law in national laws and directives obliges you to dispose of consum- able goods appropriately. This serves to protect both persons and the environment. Batteries, electrical and electronic products no longer required must be disposed of separate from do- mestic waste.

    3. Handling Switch On/Off Switch-On Einschalten: Taste:   Press adjustments- and On-/Off-button , and afterwards UP button within 1 sec., otherwise device automatically switches off. This procedure serves to avoid an accidential switch on of the device e. g, in a bag. After switching on device is ready for use.
  • Page 7: Volume Setting

    Adjustment of frequency is continuously variable from 15 kHz to 130 kHz. Use of frequency division & heterodyne Parallel to mixer-mode the SSF BAT2 is also scanning the whole spectrum for ultrasonic frequencies using frequency division. The located frequency will be displayed in a graphic.

    5. Supplement Technical specifications Microphone-frequency range The graph shows the sensitivity of the built-in ultrasound microphone in the range of interest for bat calls. Maximum sensitivity is around 50 kHz. The maximum sensitivity of the elektret-microphones normally used in more simple detectors is from15 to 20 kHz.

    In these cases the problem can be fixed only by the exchange of the microphone. With newer SSF-BAT2 devices whose serial numbers end with "S" or are marked with a green dot (the serial number is in the battery compartment), the microphone is now a plug-in device and can easily be exchanged by the customer.
