The electronic stethoscope is designed to monitor air delivered ordnance during render safe procedures and to search for IEDs.
It allows the detection of timing devices, from close to several meters, depending on the position and local conditions of the timing device.
The ES consists of : a very sensitive impact sound sensor (contact sensor), a contact-less high frequency search head (HF sensor), an amplifier and a headset.
The sensors can detect mechanical movements or certain electronic components which are often used in timing devices.
Signals received by a sensor are fed to the amplifier with step-less adjustable filters which make the signals audible in the headset.
The contact sensor can be used in EOD missions, for detection of timers in bombs which can still be active, or activated by movements or vibrations during render safe operations.
It also can be applied for the detection of mechanical timing devices or clocks which may be present in parcels or mail suspected to contain improvised explosive devices.
Another application is the listening of weak noises through solid materials, like walls or doors.
The contact-less search head uses a high frequency field to check mechanical noises coming from timers. This field penetrates a large range of materials and is only stopped if the target is enclosed into a sealed metallic box.
The contact-less search head is not affected by loud ambient airborne noise and so enables search operations in noisy places such as public buildings. It is also well adapted for searching IEDs in walls or when suspicious objects must not be touched.
The contact-less search head can also intercept sub-harmonic signals coming from electronic circuits, thus allowing to detect electronic timing circuits.
The ES is supplied in an aluminum transit case, with all necessary accessories.
