BatCounter Powerkit
BatCounter PowerkitIn principle, the eight AA batteries in the BatCounter are only used to test the device or to count over very short periods of time (e.g. a few nights). If you wish to use the BatCounter over longer periods, it is recommended that you connect to a 12-volt battery or the 1110/ 220-volt electricity network. The kit contains the following parts: – 110/ 220V BatCounter External Power Adapter – BatCounter External Power Cable.

BatLure Powerkit
BatLure PowerkitThe adapter makes it possible to connect the BatLure to the electricity network (110/ 220 volts). The constant power supply enables the BatLure to transmit for extended periods. In situations in which the BatLure is used to support the mitigation to new accommodation, this is a valuable addition. Consider, for example, mitigating measures where bats need to migrate from a building that’s about to be demolished. Even when the BatLure is being used to give indoor bat detector training, it’s useful when it can be connected to the electricity network. The kit contains the following parts: – 110/ 220V BatLure External Power Adapter – BatLure External Power Cable

BatLure Spinner
BatLure SpinnerUsing the BatLure Spinner in combination with the BatLure increases your chances of successfully capturing bats as they move about their habitat.
The BatLure Spinner consists of two ultrasonic loudspeakers with a mirror mounted between them. This mirror turns – spins – on an axis. Sound emanating from the speakers is reflected off the rotating mirror, causing it to scatter.
Scattering the sound results in greater variation in the signal. This creates the illusion that the source of the sound is moving, which has been shown by empirical research to result in a higher rate of capture.
The BatLure Spinner is an accessory intended for use with the BatLure, available from Apodemus. Please note that you must be in possession of a BatLure in order to use the BatLure Spinner.
BatLure Timerbox
BatLure TimerboxThe BatLure Timerbox allows you to set specific times of operation for your BatLure. An ideal compagnion when attracting bats to new roosts or when catching bats using nets within specific timeframes.
