DEFCON™ Pulse Tag – Personal EMP Detection System – NEW

From Original price was: $79.99.Current price is: $63.99.

Compact and wearable, the DEFCON™ Pulse Tag detects dangerous E1 and E2 EMP pulses from nuclear or military sources. Built with a shockproof, water-resistant case, it features an audible alarm, multiple mounting options, and a 3-year battery life. Ideal for preppers, military, and critical systems managers who need real-time threat awareness.

Description

The DEFCON™ Pulse Tag is a personal, wearable device designed to detect and alert you to EMP (Electromagnetic Pulse) frequencies. Housed in a water-resistant, shock-proof thermoplastic protective case, this small and compact tag is optimized for E1 & E2 protection, making it essential for preparedness enthusiasts, military personnel, critical system managers, and anyone monitoring for E1 & E2 signals from potential EMP events.

Key Features

Reliable Detection: Alerts to the presence of EMP frequencies that could damage equipment or electrical systems.
Durable Construction: Water-resistant and shock-proof thermoplastic case ensures long-lasting protection (do not submerge in water).
User-Friendly: Features a reset button for silencing the audible alarm when triggered.
Versatile Attachment: Easily attaches to backpacks, coats, or equipment with two strong removable Velcro straps—one with an HK clip and the other with a key ring.
Comprehensive Mounting System: Includes a mounting system for secure attachment.
Battery Operated: Runs on a CR1620 battery, providing up to 3 years of operation; batteries are easy to change.
Specific Monitoring: Designed to monitor E1 & E2 frequency ranges with pulse durations of 20 nanoseconds, typically caused by EMPs from military or nuclear attacks (not optimized for CME).

Users

Preparedness Enthusiasts: Stay alert and ready for potential EMP threats.
Military Personnel: Ensure the safety of critical equipment and systems.
Critical System Managers: Monitor and protect vital infrastructure from EMP disruptions.
EMP Monitoring: Detect E1 & E2 signals and take necessary precautions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the DEFCON™ Pulse Tag and how does it work?

The DEFCON™ Pulse Tag is a unique device specifically designed to detect when an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) or other powerful electromagnetic event occurs. Onboard circuitry detects the E1 and E2 disturbances resulting from an EMP. Once a detection occurs, the DEFCON™ Pulse Tag sounds a continuous alarm.

Will the DEFCON™ Pulse Tag detect a solar coronal mass ejection (CME)?

No, the DEFCON™ Pulse Tag will not detect a CME. CMEs are very low-frequency events that do not couple energy into small-scale electronics.

Does the DEFCON™ Pulse Tag have an ON/OFF switch?

No, the DEFCON™ Pulse Tag does not have an ON/OFF switch. Rather, it is ALWAYS ON.

Does the DEFCON™ Pulse Tag use batteries?

Yes, the DEFCON™ Pulse Tag uses a CR1620 button-cell battery.

How long does the battery last?

The DEFCON™ Pulse Tag battery typically lasts at least 3 years.

How can the DEFCON™ Pulse Tag operate so long on a single button-cell battery?

The DEFCON™ Pulse Tag has patented ultra-low-power detection circuitry that uses less than 1 uA of current.

How do I replace the battery?

To replace the battery, remove the four screws on the top side of the unit, gently lift out the circuit board, use a small flathead screwdriver to push out the battery, install the new battery into the battery holder in the same orientation as the original battery. The correct orientation is for the small side of the battery (the – terminal) to go up against the circuit board, and the large flat side of the battery (the + terminal) to go up against the metal battery holder.

How do I silence the alarm?

The alarm is silenced by pressing the small RESET button on the bottom of the DEFCON™ Pulse Tag. If the button fails to silence the alarm, the unit can be opened and the battery removed.

How do I know if the DEFCON™ Pulse Tag is working?

Without a powerful pulse generator, it is difficult to verify that the DEFCON™ Pulse Tag is operational. It is therefore recommended that the battery be replaced every 3 years.

When replacing the battery, should the DEFCON™ Pulse Tag alarm sound?

Yes, sometimes when a fresh battery is inserted, the unit will begin to sound. Simply press the RESET button to silence the alarm.

What is the expected lifetime of the DEFCON™ Pulse Tag?

The DEFCON™ Pulse Tag should last for at least 3-5 years, and likely much longer.

Is there a risk of the DEFCON™ Pulse Tag experiencing a false alarm?

The DEFCON™ Pulse Tag is designed to sound an audible alarm when exposed to a powerful electromagnetic disturbance. Such disturbances might be due to an EMP, nearby lightning strike, or other powerful electromagnetic disturbance. Therefore, if the alarm begins to sound, the user should consider their environment for possible causes of the detection.

How quickly does the DEFCON™ Pulse Tag detect an EMP?

The DEFCON™ Pulse Tag detects an electromagnetic disturbance in less than 1 millisecond and sounds the alarm within 100 milliseconds.

Is the DEFCON™ Pulse Tag waterproof?

The DEFCON™ Pulse Tag is weather-resistant, but it should never be submerged in water. If accidental immersion occurs, open the unit, remove the battery, and allow all internal components to dry completely before reinstalling a fresh battery.

Over what temperature range can the DEFCON™ Pulse Tag operate?

The DEFCON™ Pulse Tag is designed to operate from -20 to 110 degrees Fahrenheit.
