Contact Pro RF Detector / Receiver

The Contact Pro is a digital radio frequency receiver designed to home in on and locate radio frequency transmitting beacons. This unit has 200 channels is designed for use with multiple RF transmitting beacons.

Home-in From a Distance

The unit is our preferred radio frequency detector for locating our RF beacon Trackers. From a distance of up to 0.5 km away the Contact Pro can be activated and switched on to the channel for the RF Beacon that the user wishes to locate. As the user move nearer to the RF beacon, the strength of the signal received by the Contact Pro increases. This allows the user to initially find the direction the RF Beacon is located until eventually the RF Beacon can be located down to a matter of centimetres.

No Specialist Technical Knowledge Required

The Contact Pro asset tracker has 200 channels which allows it to be used for receiving and locating multiple RF Beacons that are transmitting within the same area. The inbuilt LCD screen displays channel, device signal gain, etc. and there is an LED bar indicator that shows radio frequency signal pulse and the signal strength.

Practice Required Before ‘Live’ Situation Use

Although the units themselves are fairly easy to control, there is an art to using the device effectively ‘in the field’, so it is advisable that operators of the unit engage in practice before using the product in a ‘live’ situation. After a few practice sessions the RF Wand is very easy to use.

• Professional robust RF receiver / locator for use with RF Tracking Beacons
• Frequency: 433 – 434 MHz (200 digital sub-channels within this range)
• Powered by 2 x LR6 (Alkaline 1.5V) batteries
• Running time of up to 20 hours
• Operating temperature: -25ºC to +50ºC
• LCD Display for channel, gain, tuning, etc
• Built in speaker for audio confirmation

Can this be used as a bug detector?

No, this has 200 channels specifically chosen for RF beacon transmitters operating on a fixed frequency. The Contact Pro does not scan a large frequency range, so it would be useless in the role as a bug detector.

How easy is it to use?

There is an art to using the device effectively. We recommend that any new operators practice using the device with an RF Beacon over several hours to ensure that their skills are honed to a satisfactory level.

Will the Contact Pro be affected by interference from mobile phones?

The system operates on a totally separate frequency, so there is no chance of interference from your mobile phone.

You will need to consider the following to use this product:

• This unit is solely for use with our Radio Frequency Trackers (see RF Beacon Tracker) and is not designed to scan for other types of RF bugs.
• Some operational practice and experience is advisable prior to use in a ‘live’ situation.
• You will require 2 x LR6 (Alkaline 1.5V) batteries. These are commonly available from high street shops and online stores
