The
new
Micro-Pointer
antenna
provides
great
amplification,
a
good detection
distance
and
directivity
for
quick
pinpointing.
Repeat the procedure of scanning
mentioned
in
Step 2,
but
keep
in
mind t
hat the directed antenna Micro-Pointer
sees
signals
in
its
direction
area
only
(opposite
the
detector).
Therefore, scan
slower, while rotating the detector in different directions
(left, right, up, down)
at
a number of points in the room. Note: before starting the actual sweeping you
may
want to have a short training using your own Wi-Fi router.
If you have found a direction with a high level, approach the source while pin
-
pointing it by rotating the detector slightly. As such you will locate the source.
Inspect it very carefully. Consult IT employees to become acquainted with the
scheme of wireless access points and the location of wireless telephones used in the
office to make sure it is a 'own' and 'legal' access point.
Step 6. Checking the microwave range
The ANT1 channel of the detector covers frequencies in the range of 50-
12
000MHz.
It is difficult to cover such a wide band simultaneously, but the rod antenna
used in
the new version of the Protect 1206i manages this task very well. The antenna
gives good results at detecting signals on frequencies starting from 50
MHz and
higher, up to 3000MHz including all the following bands – VHF 140MHz,
UHF 450MHz, 900MHz, 1200MHz and 2400MHz.
Although the rod antenna can be used for detecting signals above 3000MHz,
the microwave antenna Micro-Pointer can give better results on these bands.
Additionally the microwave antenna gives directionality for easy pinpointing.
Therefore, it is possible to use the Micro-Pointer antenna in the left ANT1 socket for
an additional search, instead of the ANT2 where it is as standard.
Connect the Micro-Pointer antenna to the ANT1 temporarily instead of the rod
antenna and select ANT1 (9) to get a better detection distance on the higher
frequencies; above 2000MHz. Signals on lower frequencies will be omitted. You will
detect: Wi-Fi 2.4MHz, some bands of LTE (4G), Bluetooth, Wi-Max
2.3 GHz,
, Wi-Fi 5 GHz and all other signals including audio
2.5 GHz, 3.5 GHz and 5.8 GHz
and video bugs sending radio signals above 2GHz. Scan the room again taking into
consideration the direction of the antenna. Try scanning objects and surfaces as
closely as possible because the higher the frequency is, the shorter the detection
distance will be. Some 5 GHz signals might be detected at a distance 20-50 cm.
There is a difference between the use of the Micro-Pointer antenna on the ANT1
and ANT2. The ANT2 channel was created for the detection of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
only. It is more sensitive to the above mentioned signals and is not capable of
detecting any other signals. The Micro-Pointer antenna in the ANT2 will increase
the sensitivity but the device will still be able to detect Wi-Fi and Bluetooth only.
The ANT1 has a continuous coverage of 50-
12
000MHz and with the Micro-Pointer
antenna
plugged into it there will be an increase in sensitivity to all high frequency
signals, not only to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
Do not forget to return the antennas to their initial state after completing the work:
rod antenna to ANT1, Micro-Pointer – to ANT2.
