BatLure Timerbox

The BatLure is a digital acoustic lure, built to playback sounds of up to 100 KHz. Both time expansion and real time sound recordings can be used. Time expansion recordings are automatically recognized and played back in real time. The robustly constructed device runs using an SD-card and 8 AA batteries. The BatLure is suited for: The luring of bats using recordings of social- and echolocation bat calls in order to catch them for research purposes To draw the attention of bats to a new potential roost to hasten its colonization. For example: bat boxes, newly constructed hibernacula as well as new summer- and maternity-roosts The playback of bat calls during training and bat-detector courses The testing of bat detectors and sound recording devices The localization of mating roosts through playback of male song/vocalizations and observation of responding territorial males What’s in the box 1 Apodemus BatLure 1 Carrying case with sufficient room for accessories 1 External power cable for a 12V power input 8 Rechargeable AA Batteries 1 SD-card with several pre-recorded sounds* 1 Manual *Recordings have been provided by Michel Barataud [http://ecologieacoustique.fr/] and Guido Pfalzer.

The 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.
