LORNET STAR 08

LORNET
Nonlinear locator for semiconductor detection in challenging environments: reinforced concrete, moist soil, vegetation, etc.

  • 800 MHz signal range
  • Concrete and wet environment detection
  • Removable telescopic rod
  • Compatible with LORNET-STAR antenna modules (2400/3600 MHz)

Reliable and easy-to-use nonlinear locator for detecting medium-sized electronic components (radio microphones, voice recorders, etc.) in both powered and unpowered states

Application
  • Technical Surveillance Countermeasures (TSCM). Detection of electronic devices (bugs, voice recorders, etc.) in indoor environments, including damp conditions, whether powered on or off
  • Counterterrorism. Detection of explosive device electronics and metal fragmentation components in outdoor environments (soil, vegetation), including wet conditions


Transport Packaging
Standard: The Lornet Star 08 kit is supplied in a special fabric carrying case that protects the device from damage.
Export: For export versions, the Lornet Star 08 is supplied in a hard carrying case.

Possibilities

Detection of electronic devices such as bugs, microphones, cameras, voice recorders, phones, explosive device components that may be in powered-off, standby, or active states.
Capability to conduct searches in wet environments, e.g., damp walls, rooms, soil, bushes, etc.
Detachable telescopic rod allows the operator to easily switch the device between search and inspection modes.
Compact size and lightweight ensure comfortable operator use.
Maximum detection efficiency for all electronic devices in challenging conditions when used with other Lornet Star interchangeable antenna modules.
Thin antenna module (18mm) enables searches in hard-to-reach areas.
Spare battery with charging time significantly shorter than discharge time allows for 24/7 operation when needed.
Two signal types:
  • Pulse modulation with duty cycle 44 (Pulse)
  • Continuous wave (CW)
Component identification:
  • Distinguishes electronic components from natural semiconductors (rust, metal-to-metal contacts, etc.) in CW mode
  • Audio identification via built-in speaker or headphones using 2nd/3rd harmonic detector output
CW mode applications:
  • Detection of active analog radio bugs through acoustic feedback
  • Auditory evaluation of 2nd/3rd harmonic levels via click frequency through speaker/headphones
Additional features:
  • Automatic channel selection for minimal interference in EM-heavy environments
  • Automatic/manual power adjustment
  • Manual receiver sensitivity control
