BULLETSEEKER

FIRST USE SETUP


1. Start the app
2. Click "Connect" on the HOME screen.
3. Turn on the BULLETSEEKER,
the LED lights up orange until pairing
4. PIN is not needed on newer versions (224466 for pairing older
BULLETSEEKER)
5. After pairing,
the LED will turn green, ready to shoot
6. Shooting:
When a shot is detected, the LED will turn blue while data is
being transferred from the
BULLETSEEKER to the APP,
Light changes back to green - this means you are ready for the
next shot
7. Set the sensitivity to "0" in the settings
For fast data transmission ~ 0.7sec .
For higher sensitivities the transmission time takes longer 1.3
sec + .
Total speed data of each detection will be transmitted.
With every shot you will see the bullet 10 to more than 2000
times. (you can evaluate all this data if you wish)
At ''0'' you get nothing but average speed.
8. Use one of the presets for the speed ranges
BULLETSEEKER

ON / OFF
1. Press the switch for a second
2. LED is flashing for 3x in orange
3. LED flashing is changing to blue search for BLUETOOTH
pairing
4. LED is shining green, BT is established
5. LED is switching between green and blue if target (bullet) is
detected
6. LED is switching to red by charging via USB-C
USB connector is for charging only, no data transfer
7. Press the switch again to turn Off
switching OFF with the timer, set in the APP settings
Battery charging by USB-C connector on battery cover

MOUNTING
The Picatinny rail counterpart is mounted on the
BULLETSEEKER
A universal V-holder is included with your
BULLETSEEKER
A quick click adapter for Picatinny rail is also included in
the delivery or your BULLETSEEKER
it can be attached to the barrel with an elastic band or
stand alone beside the gun

*** If you require more than one v-holder or quick click adapter
to easily switch between firearms, they can be purchase as
accessories ***

POSITIONING

Beware of radar shadow


Closer to the muzzle is better
Find the right position on your gun by testing
Beam forming is set to 22 degrees at mid lens
Do not cover the lens and the aluminium foam filter

BULLETSEEKER

POSITIONING

Explosive ammunition creates a muzzle cloud from hot gases


and metallic abrasion.
This cloud of plasma and metal splinters is electrically
conductive.
It can interfere with the radar waves and wipe out the signal. We
have tested several different muzzle brakes. Each one has it's
own sweet-spot.
Muzzle brakes with a guided gas jet such as star or spiral shape
allow the radar signals to pass through very well.

BEST PRACTISE
Find the right position on your gun by testing.
BULLETSEEKER

POSITIONING

In this case we used a smaller Picanntiny connector -4mm


smaller - and the BULLETSEEKER is closer to the barrel and
detected the shot.
Another possibility is to turn away from the brake openings.

ANOTHER OPTION
Start with a tripod. Mount the BULLETSEEKER on a tripod.
Make a few systematic positioning tests - Find a detection
position and then move the BULLETSEEKER backwards to find
the ideal mounting position

BEST PRACTISE
Find the right position on your gun by testing.
BULLETSEEKER

PARABOLIC
ADAPTER

For unique situations we have developed an attachment


adapter.
The parabolic antenna adapter
With this adapter the BULLETSEEKER also receives signals
from behind the plasma cloud.
Often used in applications where the ammunition rounds are
7mm or larger.
Using the adapter will enable the BULLETSEEKER to see 3
meters in front. This will give you more detections.

DATA PROCESSING
Data processing is fully automatic

1. All of the data transferred can be saved to your mobile phone


and processed by yourself as well.
2. Data is saved in the folder “DOWNLOADS”
file name ‘’BS + time stamp’’ as a .log file, readable with a text
editor
The file name is a proposal only, You can rename it.
3. The angle γ between BULLETSEEKER and muzzle is important
falsifies the results of the first 3-10 detections
(first 10 cm) per shot
The initial speed is measured in the first meter
4. You can evaluate and correct the data.
5. In the app you can manage the data by scrolling with your
finger tip
6. In addition,
All of the data / shots are stored in an internal database
You can call them up again
APPLICATION

1. PIN : 224466, NEWER version no long require a PIN
2. Out of range: shot detected but out of presets in speed and / or
sensitivity
3. Bluetooth connection problems: with Android 12 there is a problem
identified by a few Samsung phones owners
Try this:
a) Switch off / on the Bluetooth on your phone and try to connect again
or
b) Switch on for a minute the airplane mode, switch off and try to connect
again or
c) Connect the BULLETSEEKER with the phone via Settings –
Connections - Bluetooth, pairing and enter PIN 224466, then switch over
to the BULLETSEEKER APP - press connect in the HOME screen.
**Connecting via the phone settings always works**
4. Automatically saved data strings: BULLETSEEKER APP has an
integrated databank and is saved on your phone
5. Data backed up manually: saved in the download folder with the name
‘’BS_time stamp.txt’’
Time stamp format YYYY-MM-DD-HH-MM-SS
6. Detections are displayed without shooting: The battery voltage has
dropped too far - recharge the BULLETSEEKER.

BULLETSEEKER
6. Detections are displayed without shooting: The battery voltage has
dropped too far - recharge the BULLETSEEKER.
7. Partial detection only: This is a positional issue caused by a radar
shadow or cloud of fire. A change in position is required. Good control is
seen in the number of detections. STRINGS screen - Open shots - `open
single shot with finger press - Count # of detections in the lower part of
the graph.
More detections - better position. Another option is to use the parabolic
lens adapter or mounting rails for easy position improvement.
8. No or Partial Detection: Turn off ALL Bluetooth connections except
the BULLETSEEKER connection. Check if other electrical or electronic
devices in the immediate vicinity are interfering with the radar signal.
9. Battery: 4 hours of continuous use. 2 hours charging.
10. BLUETOOTH Connection issue: If you have paired your
BLUETOOTH device with the BULLETSEEKER and it is not working. It
may be in the background and it is important to note that the foreground
APP has the priority. In principle, several BLUETOOTH connections are
possible with one device. However, usually only one is active. If there are
two tools (BULLETSEEEKER and another) connected to your device
through BLUETOOTH, a conflict is identified. Make the BULLETSEEKER
the priority APP.
