K18 Detector

Product Overview

The K18 Detector incorporates advanced German technology, designed for detecting various hidden devices such as wireless bugs, car trackers, wireless pinhole cameras, mobile phone undercover software, and instruments used in casino scams. Its functionality supports military and police surveillance. The device can detect electrical sources, offering protection against electromagnetic radiation.

Utilizing a digital receiving mode, the K18 differs from other detectors by offering a wider detection frequency domain, effectively avoiding interference from cluttered signals. Its enhanced sensitivity allows for easy location of strong transmitting signals by simply adjusting a knob. The K18 is a highly advanced portable wireless signal detection equipment.

Unlike normal wireless detectors, the K18 can detect CDMA signals. Traditional detectors often fail to alarm when a CDMA signal is present, especially when dialing via China Telecom. This is because the CDMA mobile phone agreement, invented by the U.S. Military, uses a radio frequency hopping technology with small transmitted power, making it difficult to detect. The K18 accurately identifies the CDMA mobile communication protocol of monitoring equipment.

Panel & Function

• ★ The device is handheld, featuring an antenna on the top left and a magnetic probe in the middle.
• ★ The power-on indicator is located in the middle of the top right and will turn off when the power is low.
• ★ The sensitivity adjustment knob is on the right. Turn clockwise to strengthen sensitivity and counterclockwise to reduce it.
• ★ The front features a special filter window and azimuth dial, utilizing LDE laser technology and special filters to scan for hidden wired or wireless camera equipment.
• ★ At the front center, the left 'M' key serves as the mode button, with 'MS' lights indicating the mode and 'GS' lights indicating magnetic detection. The right button activates the LED laser switch.
• ★ The lower front has a 10-LED signal strength indicator, showing signal strength from weak to strong. At the seventh level, the light will emit a "beep" sound or vibrate.
• ★ The LED laser light on the back has a flashing frequency that can be controlled by long-pressing the function keys.
• ★ The right side features DC charging and charging indicator lights. The lights illuminate during charging and turn off when fully charged.

Instructions

Initial Setup & RF Wireless Signal Detection

• ★ To enter test mode, turn the knob clockwise to the maximum until a "beep beep" sound is heard. The power indicator light will illuminate, indicating normal operation.
• ○ For RF wireless signal detection, boot the device and turn the knob to illuminate the LED signal strength indicator light. This puts the device into standby. If the signal environment is unstable, the lights may flash or show a multi-level flashing state.
• ○ In a strong environmental signal area, adjust the callback knob to no more than 4 lights for optimal detection. If the signal strength lamp reaches level 7, the vibrator or buzzer will activate. To operate the vibrator or buzzer, press the Mode (M) button. The closer the intensity indicator lights are to the suspicious object, the closer the device is to the source. Adjust the machine's orientation around the callback knob.
• ○ Due to the product's high sensitivity, mobile base stations, TV broadcasts, and other signals are received everywhere. When searching for a tracker in a car, drive to an area where the information number is weaker. It is recommended to carry mobile phones and other wireless transmission signal source equipment with you during shutdown operation.
• ○ If alarm actions occur in a room without suspicious objects, possible reasons include: 1. The body's own communication equipment operating regularly with a base station code. 2. Suspicious activity next door or someone calling nearby. 3. Proximity to a wireless router.

Magnetic Field Signal Detection

• ★ Press the Mode (M) button for 3 seconds to activate the magnetic field (GS) indicator lights, entering magnetic field signal detection standby. When the magnetic field sensor is close to a magnetic field source, the probe's front LED lights will illuminate, and the vibrator or buzzer will activate. Short press the Mode (M) button to select the vibrator or buzzer working state. All signal strength indicators will illuminate, indicating a magnetic field near the probe or suspicious objects.

Camera Detection

• ★ To explore hidden wired or wireless standby camera equipment, press the arrow button. The LED lights will illuminate. Long press to change the flashing frequency of the LED lights, which can be selected according to demand. Utilize the LED laser technology and special filter scanning for invisible cameras, and reflective highlights to determine their location.

Car Strong Magnetic Detection Instructions

• ★ For magnetic positioners or bugging devices used in cars, the adsorption position may not be visible or hidden inside the car due to the installation of magnetic devices away from the metal surface and the body. The car's metal surface and the car itself have a certain space isolation, so it is not recommended to directly detect the magnetic field outside the body.
• ★ It is recommended to use the magnetic probe inside the car, specifically at the bottom of the car or by opening the car's hood or door panels. Explore the district grid closely in these areas to easily find strong magnetic adsorption equipment.

Images illustrating the use of the K18 magnetic probe for detecting devices: one image shows the probe under the car's hood, another shows it along the car's side door, and a third shows it underneath the car chassis, highlighting recommended detection areas.
