• any other devices utilising semiconductor technology ST-402 Cayman allows detecting electronic devices, whether active or not, as well as finding their exact location. It also enables one to distinguish between return signals from real semiconductors and other kinds of responses, such as those given by corrosion or metal-oxide- metal structures.
5,8kg 1.4. Principles of Operation ST-402 Cayman is a nonlinear junction detector, or NLJD. Instruments of this type employ active detection, i.e. they emit probing signals and analyse the return. Their primary search targets are electronic devices, and those typically consist of circuit plates with conductive elements and various semiconductor parts connected to them, such as diodes, transistors, and microchips.
During adaptation, the antenna must be pointed away from electronics and large metal objects. 1.6. Structure Structurally, the ST-402 Cayman NLJD consists of the main unit and antenna module, that are connected with a telescopic arm. The main constituents are shown in Fig. 2.

OPERATING MANUAL 1.6.1. Antenna module The antenna module comprises a receiver- transmitter unit, a control-display unit, and an aerial, all of which are assembled on a single platform and incorporated in a single body. The antenna is mounted at the end of a telescopic arm by way of a hinge joint that allows adjusting the incline within the vertical plane along the rod’s axis, as shown in Fig.
1.6.2. Main Unit The main unit of ST-402 Cayman is housed in a durable plastic body (2, Fig. 2) fitted on top with a handle (5, Fig. 2) with three control buttons (15, Fig. 2). It has a battery compartment (3, Fig.
OPERATING MANUAL A twisted cable goes through the arm, connecting the antenna with the power and control units housed in the main body. Fig. 6 shows the device with the arm retracted, and fully extended. Fig. 6 1.6.4. Controls Three control buttons are at the front of the handle (Fig. 7). The mode-setting button (2, Fig.

If both distances exceed the required minimums, the device is functional and operation-ready. 2.4. SEARCH Mode Once ST-402 Cayman has been prepared and proven functional as described above in 2.1 – 2.3, it can be put to use. When activated, the device starts up in SEARCH mode, and the receiver gain is by default set to maximum, which is displayed by 5 lit segments of the TUNING indicator.

ST-402 CAYMAN NLJD Items known to contain semiconductor components (electronic instruments, office and home equipment, communication devices, etc.) are checked by other means. When running checks on enclosing structures, it is important to set a suitable receiver gain. If excessive, it may well cause detection of objects behind the walls, which may be a problem when there is no access into the adjoining spaces.
*Upon switching to AUDIO, none of the TUNING bar segments are lit, which corresponds to #0 frequency combination. The ST-402 Cayman NLJD allows listening to demodulated signals while probing with six different frequency combinations. Each combination, indicated by leds on the TUNING bar, is suited to deal with a particular category of nonlinear objects.
