2005
Purpose:
The ST 007 EMF (electromagnetic field) Detector is designed
to detect and locate the sources of electromagnetic radiation
from devices intended for the unauthorized obtaining of
information (eavesdropping devices), such as:
| radio microphones;
telephone radio transmitters;
hidden video cameras equipped with a radio channel
for transmitting information;
systems of spacial high-frequency radiation in the
radio-frequency range; systems for transmitting image
from computer monitors using a radio channel; radio
beacons for tracking moving objects (people, vehicles,
freights, etc.); unauthorized radio stations, wireless
phones, and phones with wireless extensions; unauthorized
use of GSM and DECT cellular phones; unauthorized
use of Bluetooth and 802.11 (WLAN, WiFi) devices with
a frequency range of 2.4 GHz. |
The ST 007 utilizes the principles of wideband detection
of electric fields
The ST 007 operates in three main modes:

The ST 007 utilizes the principles of wideband detection of electric
fields. The ST 007 operates in three main modes:
-Search;
-Monitoring;
-Log view.
Search Mode
This mode is intended for detecting sources of electromagnetic
radiation.
When in Search mode, the ST 007 receives radio signals in the
range of 50 to 2,500 MHz, detects them, and outputs them to the
built-in display and as an audio signal to the earphones and the
built-in speaker. The level of the signal in comparison to the
threshold level is indicated on two 32-segment level meters on
the display.
The difference between the two meters is as follows: the top meter
indicates the average amplitude of the detected signal; the bottom
meter shows the signal's peak values. AM and FM signals will prevail
in the top meter; signals resembling pulse types (such as DECT
or GSM) will be displayed on the bottom meter. When the ST 007
detects mixed signals on its input (TV signal, for example), it
will display them on both bars.
The ST 007 can measure current frequency values of the radio signal
and determine its most stable value (for signals with a constant
carrier frequency).
The ST 007 also displays the detection of GSM, DECT, Bluetooth,
and 802.11 (WLAN, WiFi) signals.
In order to attenuate the interference of powerful radio transmitters
of up to 300 MHz (TV transmitters from Channel 1 to Channel 10,
FM radio stations), a low-pass filter is used.
If you connect a scanning receiver with a special communications
port to the ST 007, its reception frequency can be set to match
that of the reception signal of the ST 007.

Monitoring Mode
The Monitoring mode is intended for detecting sources of electromagnetic
radiation and storing data in NVRAM. The maximum number of events
that can be stored in NVRAM is 4,096. The events can be viewed
when the detector is in the Log View mode.
The Monitoring mode has an extended range of alarm signals, which
can be triggered if the signal passes a certain level or frequency
threshold, or if a certain type of signal is detected (GSM, DECT,
Bluetooth, 802.11).
It is possible for the user to schedule the ST 007 to turn on
and off.
This mode has two basic operations:
User controlled operation
The ST 007 is placed so that it is visible to the user. This is
useful for detecting devices for the unauthorized obtaining of
information among the visitors of an office, for example.
Autonomous operation
The ST 007 is placed in an area where the use of eavesdropping
devices is suspected, and the electromagnetic environment will
be monitored during a pre-programmed period without user interference.

Protocol View mode
The Protocol View mode is intended for viewing the log of events
stored in the ST 007's NVRAM during Monitoring.
Events can be sorted by:
-time;
-duration;
-signal level;
-frequency value.

The results of are indicated a four-line LCD with a resolution
of 97 x 36 pixels as digits and text, as well as additional pictograms
at the top of the display.
The ST 007 is controlled from a six-button thin film keypad
Sound output is available via headphones or speaker.
On the screen, help can be displayed, available in both Russian
and English.
ST 007 can be powered from either 4 type AA batteries, or a power
supply (included)
For software upgrades (new versions, additional features), connect
ST 007 via Serial Port to your PC, and visit the manufacturer's
site; the instrument will be reprogrammed automatically.
