General description

Introduction

Welcome to the world of professional counter surveillance! The Delta X system will make your bug sweeps

quick and easy, while providing extremely reliable results. The system's hardware incorporates a powerful

spectrum analyzer which provides a super-fast speed of measurements with extreme sensitivity, while

the built in RF "switcher" extends the system's functionality. The supplied set includes the full set of

equipment needed for professional bug detection: omnidirectional antenna, directed microwave

antenna, multifunction probe for checking the infrared/low frequencies and wires, cables and adapters.

Unlike conventional spectrum analyzers which require the individual inspection of each radio band

depending on its assignment, the Delta X does everything automatically. The signals are recognized in the

spectrum and depending on the type are saved in the "common" or "mobile & wireless" sections of the

constantly updated list. Each signal is assigned an individual danger level, helping the operator to

distinguish between safe external sources and suspicious local transmitters.

The great advantage of the Delta X is its high sensitivity and immunity to interference. While near-field

receivers and detectors lose their sensitivity either significantly, or fully, near strong transmitters such as

cellular towers, communication antennas, broadcasting stations, Wi-Fi access points, and wireless phones

etc. the Delta X retains its ability to detect RF bugs at a significant distance.

The second generation of the Delta X (G2) is designed in a new portable format, which significantly eases

the search process and has an extended frequency range to 12 GHz. New models mate with a laptop, or

tablet, with the help of magnetic holders. They hold the laptop/tablet reliably in all situations giving the

operator the ability to move and tilt the system during sweeping.

General features

•Quickly and reliably detects all kinds of RF listening devices, including analog, digital, constantly

existing and intermittent, sending audio or video, with or without encryption

•Finds hidden surveillance devices employing the digital standards GSM, 3G, 4G/LTE, 5G(<6GHz)

Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, DECT, etc.

•Detects illegal information transmission in AC, telephone, Ethernet, alarm and other wires as well

as in the infrared range with the help of the supplied Multifunction Probe

•Can work in instant detection mode, guarding mode, locating mode and car tracker detection

•Has a 20-50 times higher sensitivity and detection distance compared to conventional RF

detectors and near-field receivers

•Real-time spectrum analysis gives the ability to detect short-burst signals such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth

or mobile devices within just a few seconds

•Automatic antenna selection provides high sensitivity and detection distance on all frequency

bands

•Can monitor the RF environment 24 hours a day with data logging

•Capable of detecting covert bugging devices with an accumulation function and transmitters

hidden within the spectrums of other signals

•Supports storage of an unlimited quantity of signals. Full information is stored in the log and can

be reviewed during the detection, or at a later time. Multiple logs are supported.

•Demodulation of audio in FM, AM, USB, LSB, CW (adjustable BW 3…240 kHz)

•Alarm relay output can activate external devices when a dangerous signal is detected (turn on a

CCTV system, for example)

Delta X. User Manual

•Powered from the laptop's or tablet’s USB

Features of the new generation

•New portable design –the device is reliably mated with the laptop or tablet and moved during

the detecting and locating process

•The laptop or tablet is attached with the help of the magnetic holders

•Side handles are used for carrying

•All antennas are fixed to the main unit

•Carrying case is in the supplied set

•2 models –up to 6 GHz or 12 GHz

Advantages

➢What it is: a portable system controlled by a laptop computer or tablet

•The high capacity of the hard drive enables full data logging during the detection (24/7 possible)

•Wider screen is more convenient for analysis

•Compatible with touch screens

•Magnetic holders provide reliable attachment of the laptop/tablet to the unit while the side

handles make it easy to carry the entire system

➢Handling of the mobile and wireless bands GSM, CDMA, 3G, 4G/LTE, 5G(<6GHz), DECT, Wi-Fi,

Bluetooth, etc.

•Mobile and wireless signals are detected simultaneously with analog transmissions

•Mobile/wireless signals are detected with the use of individual thresholds and are displayed

separately from other signals

•Activities within each band are stored as one signal with a certain danger level to avoid excessive

records in the Signals table and to locate the sources with a hopping frequency

•Additional sweepings on the "short-burst" bands are performed to increase the probability of

interception of such signals as GSM, 3G, 4G, 5G(<6GHz), DECT, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc.

•External interference from neighboring mobile phones and Wi-Fi routers can be rejected with the

help of the thresholds

•The supplied data files allow the operator to adjust the system to the mobile/wireless bands

employed in the country of use

➢Sensitivity and detection distance

•The built-in spectrum analyzer has a 20-50 times higher sensitivity and detection distance

compared to conventional RF detectors and near-field receivers

•Resistant to interference - sensitivity remains high regardless of the proximity to wireless routers,

cordless phones, mobile phones, TV towers, radio broadcasting and mobile communications

➢Support of the "Known signals" table

•The operator can easily distinguish between safe and dangerous signals

•The TV frequencies employed in the country of use can be quickly imported from the supplied

data files

•The FM, VHF/UHF police and municipal channels can be collected and stored for further use

➢Advanced signal recognition method

•The signals are automatically recognized in the spectrum traces and inserted or updated in the

Signals table

•Both analogue and digital signals are captured with an assigning of a corresponding Danger level

Delta X. User Manual

➢Unique algorithm of measuring the signal's Danger level

•Uses a combination of the reference trace and individual thresholds for mobile/wireless bands

•Takes into consideration both the signal's strength and bandwidth

•Works for both analogue and digital signals including transmissions with a changing frequency

•Is used during the locating procedure and provides more reliable results compared to the

traditional "signal strength" method.

➢Low demands on the operator's level of knowledge

•The system can be prepared for detection with the help of the "Update Masks" procedure within

a few minutes

•Manual handling of spectrum traces is not necessary

•Everything is done automatically after the detection starts

•The operator is warned by an audio alarm when a dangerous signal is detected

➢Data logging

•All the spectrum traces and alarms are logged during detection

•The situation at any given time can be reviewed and studied

•24 hours a day logging provides detection of periodically working/remotely controlled bugging

devices

➢Tracking of the signal's activity

•The full history of each separate signal, or of all signals simultaneously, is displayed on the Alarms

graph

•The events at any given time can be reviewed by simply clicking on the graph

•The operator can see the duration of an activity and as such distinguish between any interference

and real danger

➢The Waterfall and Persistence graphs

•Both the present and previous measurements at any given time can be displayed

•The displayed time interval (density) is selectable in the range of 2 minutes to 6 hours

➢Car Tracker Detector mode

•The monitoring of mobile bands can detect signals from GPS trackers hidden within a vehicle

Functions of the software

•Rich visual representation: Spectrogram/Persistence, Waterfall, Alarms graph

•The Known Signals table allows the system to reject TV, FM and other "friendly" signals while

maintaining high sensitivity to unknown signals.

•The Detector and Locator allow the operator to perform location of a bugging device with both

visual and audio notification

•The Alarm Threshold decreases the false alarm rate

•The Hold Max Danger feature selects and shows the strongest signals for their location as the

system is moved during detection

•The Update Mask procedure allows the operator to quickly adjust the system to the local RF

environment in order to reject safe signals

•Sorting and filtering is supported in the Signals table

•The Report function allows the operator to export all obtained information about the desired

signals

•Is easily localizable to any language
