LORNET STAR 24

LORNET
  • Transmitter signal range 2400MHz – a widely accepted standard for indoor searches
  • Detection of miniature electronic devices
  • Removable telescopic rod
  • Compatible with nonlinear locators from the LORNET STAR kit

The device can detect any electronic devices, whether they are powered on or disconnected from a power source. In the inspection version, the device resembles a handheld metal detector and is convenient for personal screening.

Detection of miniature electronic objects such as SIM cards, RFID tags, GPS trackers
Detection of information interception devices. Search for surveillance devices in premises and vehicles, including radio microphones, digital voice recorders, and mobile communication devices
Inspection operations. Screening of objects and individuals for electronic devices prohibited in secured areas

Possibilities

Removable telescopic rod allows the operator to easily switch the device between search and inspection modes.
Maximum efficiency in detecting any electronic devices in the most challenging conditions when used with other interchangeable antenna modules of Lornet Star.
Spare battery with a charging time significantly shorter than discharge time enables 24/7 operation if needed.
The device resembles a handheld metal detector, making it convenient for personal screening after walk-through metal detector checks.
Ultra-thin (22 mm) antenna module, compact design, and lightweight construction allow search operations in confined and hard-to-reach spaces.
Two signal emission modes:
  • Pulse modulation of the carrier frequency with a duty cycle of 44 (Pulse)
  • Continuous wave signal (CW)
Identification of electronic components vs. natural semiconductors (rust, metal-to-metal contacts, etc.) in CW mode by listening to the amplitude detector output signal (2nd and 3rd harmonics) via built-in speaker or headphones.
CW mode can detect active analog radio microphones through acoustic feedback.
Auditory assessment of 2nd and 3rd harmonic levels via click repetition frequency, played through the built-in speaker or wireless headphones.
Automatic frequency channel selection with the lowest interference level for operation in complex electromagnetic environments.
Automatic and manual output power adjustment.
Manual sensitivity control for receivers.
