Pettersson D500X Bat Detector
Code: 001009

The D500X from Pettersson is an ultrasound recording unit intended for long-term, unattended recording of bat calls. Designed to be deployed for two weeks, this device detects full-spectrum ultrasound and records in real time.

The recorder is equipped with four slots for CompactFlash memory cards. A total capacity of 128GB can be obtained if four 32GB CF cards are used.

The triggering system allows the device to start recording as a sound is detected. The recording length can be selected in steps from 0.3 up to 20 seconds. In order not to fill the card too fast at locations with high activity, a minimum time between two recordings can be applied. The recorder is normally operated in a low-power mode with no pre-trigger (ie. the recording starts as the sound exceeds the chosen threshold level), but both pre-and post-trigger functions are available in the standard (not low-power) mode.

Calls recorded are digitally processed for more in-depth sampling of the call. This system records much more data than frequency division or time expansion. User reports suggest the D500X is also very good for detecting Brown Long-eared bats, a species which can be difficult to record due to the softness of its calls.

The D500X bat detector is built specifically for long-term passive monitoring, and simplifies the process for recording bat calls for weeks at a time.
