BatLure

As an accessory for the BatLure we have developed the BatLure Spinner. Using 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. Please note: In order to use the BatLure Spinner, you must have a BatLure from the series "BL1715001" or later, which runs on firmware “TAG 20190227" or a more recent version.

When on field work we often have no access to power points. Still, in some cases you will need a reliable source of electricity for a long period of time, for example for playing recordings of bat calls in order to lure bats. That is why Apodemus has developed a Solar Powerkit especially for the BatLure. What’s in the box 1 Handy 20W solar panel 1 12V battery 1 Built-in timer The built-in timer allows you to play bat calls at exactly the right time. Cable lengths are custom made.The Solar Power Kit provides on average sufficient power to run the BatLure 4 hours a day. The actual duration depends on the season, sunlight and the type of sounds you play. Technical specifications Dimensions solar panel: 520x350x30 mm Maximum power supply: 20W Battery Box dimensions: 195x240x130 mm Battery: 12V / 8Ah Battery charging time: ~ 6 hours in full sun BatLure playing time: ~ 16 .. 32 hours on a full battery (with standard settings) Do you have any specific requirements for the Solar Powerkit?

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.

The BatLure Timerbox allows you to set specific working times for your BatLure. An ideal companion when luring bats to new roosts or when catching bats with nets within certain time frames. This way you don't always have to be physically present to switch your BatLure on and off. You also save energy from, for example, battery power or solar installations. The timer is programmable with multiple on and off times (per day or per week). There is a button to turn the timer on and off automatically or manually. The timer is housed in a waterproof housing that can be opened without tools. The timer box is fitted with a screw to secure the housing against unauthorized opening. To use the Timerbox, it is important that you remove the internal batteries from the BatLure and that an external power supply (battery or mains adapter) is available.
