Ciel CDB305 Bat Detector
The CDB305 is the the dual-detector for the beginner. In FD mode you can easily check if there are any bats around by observing the whole frequency range from 20 to 120kHz, whilst in HD mode, you can
then attempt to identify the species by tuning in the frequency on the printed scale. You can easily switch between both modes, and the internal speaker allows the whole family to enjoy the bat sounds.
It also comes packaged with headphones, which can be connected via the 3.5mm jack. Please note that, when listening on the headphones, the internal speaker is automatically shut off.
Requires a 9v battery which is sent separately.

Ciel CDB301 Bat Detector
The CDB301 was the first unit in the CDB series to combine both a heterodyne detector with a frequency division detector. It has recently been updated with the revision 3 of this best selling unit.
Each function has a separate microphone to gain the highest sensitivity. In HD-mode, you can tune the observed frequency, which is shown on a 2x8 digit backlit LCD-display, helping you to identify
the bat by sound and frequency. In FD-mode (including amplitude recovery), you observe the whole band at once, and so can easily identify if there are bats around. It has the additional option of
switching channels to left/right, enabling you to observe the full frequency in FD-mode on the left channel, whilst tuning the right channel in HD-mode. The R3 now includes an integrated commentary
button, enabling you to take notes. The headphones are connected via a 3,5 mm jack, and are included with the detector. Requires a 9v battery which is sent separately.

Ciel CDP102 Bat Detector
The CDP 102 R3 has been specifically designed for long-term surveys. It features brilliant HD-Sound, external microphones and the stereo/dual option. It has a 2x8 digit LCD display and volume control. With the extended frequency range from 15 to 130 kHz you are able to record all bat sounds in clear audio, via any suitable device (not included). The external microphones are in an aluminium-housing with 8 inch cables allowing them to be placed where they are needed and are not depending on how the detector is installed. The detector can be switched from standard stereo mode for recording of flight direction to dual mode, where left and right channel can be set to different HD-bands. As a result, you are able to observe two different frequencies at the same time. In dual-mode both frequencies will be shown on the display, and for long-term surveys the display can be switched off to conserve battery life. Headphone and line out sockets for connection to recording devices are integrated. The detector has to be supplied by an external 9-12Volt DC source. It can be clipped externally to a standard 9v battery, or the lead can be used to connect to a custom power supply, like for example a 12v lead-gel rechargeable battery.
The package includes: Detector, 2 microphones, Power-cables 2,1mm plug to 9V clip, 2,1mm plug for building own power supply.

Ciel BM1 stereo bat monitor
The brand new Stereo Bat Monitor has been designed for bat counts and has just arrived in the UK. With all the functions of the CDB101 stereo heterodyne detector, this detector also includes additional
features which makes it easier to gather all relevant data. It has a 24h clock, temperature and humidity sensor. This data is displayed at ten second intervals. The BM1 includes a bat counter allowing
you to choose an interval of 2, 4 or 10 minutes, every time you click the red counter button a hit will be saved in the detector memory. You can divide the Frequency range into 3 different ranges
(for different species), and every time you hit the button the detector will sort the hit using the set up frequency. At the beginning of the interval, the detector will also save: time, temperature
and humidity. Requires a 9v battery which is sent separately.
