The Faunatech TPS Tower Pulley System has been developed to facilitate deployment and retrieval of ultrasonic microphones atop tall survey masts during wind farm site appraisal studies.

The TPS is designed to complement the Wildlife Acoustics SM2BAT ultrasonic bat detector, located either at or near ground level, while the microphones can be situated up to 50 metres above ground level.

The design addresses several common problems associated with elevated microphones and leads. Previous attempts have been slow, cumbersome and difficult to operate. The TPS however is quick to operate and greatly reduces the chance of jams and tangles when raising or lowering a microphone cluster.

Also, researchers have found that the inherent noise associated with unrestrained microphone cables and hoisting lines are detrimental to quality recordings, often completely obliterating any meaningful recorded data. Our product overcomes these problems through careful design.

Our standard TPS accommodates one, two or three independent ultrasonic mics. Options include the omni- directional SMX-US or high gain SMX-UT weatherproof microphones. The addition of the ultrasonic directional horn to either mic model achieves directionality similar to that of other well know bat detector systems.

For bird studies, the TPS can be fitted with omni directional SMX-II audio spectrum microphones.

The Echo Meter 3 is an all-in-one handheld detector and recorder designed for the active monitoring of bats. The EM3 offers all the features and more of competing solutions, but at a fraction of the price.

• Built-in real-time spectrogram displays current and recent bat passes, in expanded or compressed mode.

• Listen to bat calls in the method of your choice: Heterodyne, Frequency Division or Wildlife Acoustic’s patent pending Real Time Expansion – all while simultaneously recording bat passes.

• Record direct to Analook compatible Zero Cross file format or in 16-bit full spectrum (in either .WAV or compressed .WAC format).

• Zoom in and out of recently heard bat calls (on both vertical and horizontal axes) while continuing to monitor and record.

• Playback bat calls in Time Expansion mode at desired speed to hear details of the call.

• The most flexible heterodyne detector on the market: -Auto-Het feature automatically selects frequency based on call dynamics. -Program up to four frequency presets to rapidly tune into a bat call. -Fine tune any feature setting with easy to use button navigation.

• Monitor bat calls with headphones or the built-in speaker.

• Tag a bat call in real-time in one of four categories to facilitate post processing.

• Capture voice notes with bat passes.

• Easily programmed for scheduled recording.

• Fully self-contained, the EM3 is easy to hold, lightweight and requires no additional hardware.

• Optional GPS accessory maps bat signal to location.

Specifications:

Power: Four AA rechargeable NiMH batteries and integrated battery charger included.Storage: One SDHC/XC card slot supporting up to 128GB.Battery Lifespan: Up to 10 hours on a single charge.Sampling Rate: Selectable, 256 or 384 kHzRecording Bandwidth: 1kHz to 192kHzRecording Technology: 16-Bit full spectrum or frequency division (zero cross). Weight: Less than 0.35kg with batteries.

The Song Meter SM2BAT revolutionizes unattended automatic recordings of bat activity. Full featured at an affordable system price, the SM2BAT helps customers stay within budget while not sacri! cing on quality.

• Omnidirectional microphone is more sensitive to detecting bat calls in all directions.

• Weatherproof enclosure and microphone withstand harsh climates.

• Effortlessly program on your computer or directly on the SM2BAT simple schedules or complex monitoring timetables relative to local sunrise, sunset and twilight.

• Adaptive triggering and compression requires less storage capacity to allow for weeks of deployment.

• Record bats, birds, frogs and other wildlife via a second microphone positioned up to 100 meters away.

• 16-bit full-spectrum recordings preserve the amplitude and harmonic details of original bat signals and is more sensitive to detecting bat calls.

• Compatible with all industry standard bat analysis software.

• Post processing software allows automatic noise scrubbing and optional conversion to zero crossing files compatible with legacy systems.

• Retain the full spectrum recording which can be independently reviewed by multiple experts and archived for data integrity purposes..

Specifications:

Power: - Two AA batteries for internal clock last for two years.- Four D-size Alkaline or NiMH batteries enable up to9 nights of recording if full spectrum or up to 1 month in zero cross mode.- Optional external power using SM2 Power Adapter (sold separately).Storage: - From 8GB up to 128GB with SDHC or 512GB with SDXC cards.- 512GB supports storage up to 9 months.Sampling Rate:192kHz on two channels or 384kHz on one channelRecording Technology:16-bit full spectrum division (zero cross).
