Modes of Operation

Each mode on the Resonance EM is designed to create a different effect within the electromagnetic spectrum. In the settings mode you can turn toggle the lights/audio and with audio off and lights off the EM Resonance will silently continue to create the magnetic effects without contaminating your audio or video recordings.

The Resonance EM is very simple to use even in the dark. There is a power switch on the top next to the Mini-USB charging port.  There is a mode selection button on the front allowing you to cycle between the modes. Long press the mode button to enter settings, the settings screen allows you to toggle audio and the upper light array.

EM Pump:

Overview:

Creates a rising pulse from .2 Hz to 500 Hz then repeated. Designed to attract attention like a beacon in the EM spectrum.

How the EM Pump Works & What it Does:

The EM Pump creates an EMF Siren by oscillating electromagnetic fields. Just as a police siren is easy for the human ears to detect, the EM Pump will act as a beacon in the Electromagnetic Fields. The EM Pump starts producing a .2Hz pulse* and increases to 500 Hz pulse*.   *Calculated frequencies based on operational rates of the on-board microprocessor. While the device is ON the EM Pump indicator light will illuminate and flash slightly. This version will also allow the user to lock the pump at a frequency to experiment with a set pulse rate by double-clicking the mode button.  You will notice the LED light becomes brighter as the pulse frequency increases. Since the frequency and duration changes, it is thought of as a beacon or trigger device.  The Ghost Adventure Crew found this happens on film! The EM Pumps were used by Ghost Adventures on several episodes in 2009. The original EM Pump was created by Digital Dowsing in 2008. Do not be fooled by imitations!

Where to Use:

Set the device in an area where you are trying to capture EVP or photographic evidence. Simply set the device down, turn it on and let it run. Bring an EMF meter close to the device; you will see the field change.  DO NOT set an EMF meter directly on the Resonance EM! The field strength that close could damage your EMF meter. EMF emission at 4” inches from the device is reasonably low. As a safety precaution set the unit down, turn it on and stand at least 12” inches away. Try setting a fixed frequency using the unit to “SYNC”  yourself to the environment or the energy of an area.

EM White Noise Mode:

Overview

The white noise is created as a multi-tone, complex white noise that sweeps. Designed to help boost EVP when used with a recording device.

What the EM White Noise Mode Does

The EM White Noise mode creates a multi-tone, complex sweeping electromagnetic white noise. Without the audio on you will not hear the white noise as the noise is created as an electromagnetic field. In order to listen to the white noise generated you can turn on the audio or use an an inductive microphone such as the EVP Mic.  The EVP Mic could safely be placed within a few inches of the Resonance EM.

How the Mode Works:

Based on the principles of wave propagation, the White Noise EM was created to boost EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomenon) without interfering with the normal audio. Learn more on the principles of wave propagation used in the White Noise EM. Conventional methods of creating white noise commonly generate audible sweeping static. The White Noise EM differs by creating white noise as an electromagnetic signal rather and an audible signal. Why would this be important? It is important as EVP is thought to be a non-auditory event. Thus adding audible white noise is potentially masking the non-audible event. EVP’s are not necessarily a constant event, however the White Noise EM will give you the best chance for a more audible class A EVP recording. Bill Chappell used this with Zak Bagans in the Poker room of St. James Hotel.  During the EVP session Bill asked “what do you do for fun? I mean, it can’t be fun just sitting in this place.” They received a clear EVP saying “SMOKE.”  We invite you to watch the White Noise EM in action below. Near 31’30” there is brief explanation of the device and a short session follows. The EVP of ‘smoke‘ was captured near 39’30”. The episode also features an early iteration of the Xcam SLS. To experiment with the device we recommend setting the device at varying distances from your EVP Recorder.

EM Wave Mode:

Overview

The EM Wave Mode creates a pulsing wave as a magnetic field, think of it as an oscillating fan effect.

Uses

During an EVP session try asking if the EM Wave can be heard, felt, seen etc. Use the EM wave as a trigger to draw attention to an item or area.

EM Siren Mode:

Overview

Creates a rise and fall siren as a magnetic field, this mode works just like a siren breaking through background noise by continually changing the frequency. The Change in Frequency is much faster than the EM Pump mode and the frequencies are much higher.

Settings Mode:

To make it all a bit easier the Resonance EM has a built-in digital display and LEDs to allow you to understand the current function in real time. Sound is also built it so you can “hear” approximately what is being sent as a magnetic field.

Settings allow you to turn the audio on/off, the light on/off.

Case Options Available

Optional Mini Weatherproof Case

Charging the Resonance EM

Charge the Resonance EM with the provided USB to USB Mini cable.  The USB Mini side of the cable will plug into the bottom of the unit. Plug the standard sized end of the USB cable into any USB port on a computer or spare cell phone charger.  Charging may vary from 30 minutes to 2.5 hours. During charging a small light on the face plate up from the USB port will be illuminated, when charging is complete the color will change. Run time on a fully charged unit ranges from 6-7 hours. For best results we recommend charging prior to each investigation.

Please note that the cable provided with the unit is a USB to USB Mini and many cell phone charging cables will not work as most phones come with a USB Micro.  Depicted is a the slightly larger USB Mini end on the left versus the smaller USB Micro on the right.

Like the Original Paranormal Puck, the Paranormal Puck 2 is designed to connected to a control device. In the Paranormal Puck 2 there are 6 additional standalone options. The standalone options enable the device to be used with a controlling app/software or autonomously. The Rev B of the Paranormal Puck 2 provides a more compact simplified design with increased airflow to the sensors.

The Paranormal Puck 2, is a leap forward monitoring EMF, temperature, humidity, light levels, barometric pressure, movement, ionization / static levels and produce the legendary ITC sessions the original Paranormal Puck was known for. Instead of needing a PC the Paranormal Puck 2 will work with smart phones and tablets (iOS and Android).

The Paranormal Puck 2 is the most advanced gear we have ever built, the wireless connection will allow for remote IT sessions and the app will allow all data to be seen, visualized and shared directly from your smart phone or tablet compatible with iOS and Android.

Same size as a hockey puck!…Although, we do not recommend using it as such!

Case Options

Optional Mini Weatherproof Case

Standalone Modes

There are 6 different autonomous modes available on the Paranormal Puck 2. These are modes available when not connected to a control device such as a smart phone or tablet.

1. Temperature / Humidity Mode
   • The puck will play a rising or falling tone to indicate a change in temperature or humidity.
2. Ion Mode
   • This mode will set the base lights and change the colors. Brighter and more intense light reflect stronger levels of static electricity or ionization.
3. Light Mode
   • If the ambient light level in the location changes the Puck will play an alarm signal to indicate the light level change.
4. PSI Mode
   • In this mode the Puck will sound the alarm tone if the barometric pressure changes.
5. Motion / Magnetism Mode
   • This mode will run the alarm tones if the Puck senses vibration or a change in the magnetic field.
6. All Mode
   • As it sounds the puck will cycle through all modes continually.

Suggested Usage of the Puck 2

As a data tool the Puck can be monitored remotely. In most conditions this ranges from several feet away up to 15 meters.  In ideal conditions this range may extend to 45 meters depending on the environment.

Visualization of data feeds

Since the Puck’s whole mission is data the user can see a record of what is happening around the Puck without having to try and read a screen in the dark or write down what the readings are.  This is because all readings are captured in the data logs. Even when the Puck is in standalone mode it will still monitor the sensor being used and the Minimum and Maximum values can be retrieved from the puck at a later time.

ITC Usage

The ITC mode on the Puck is our favorite feature allowing voice responses based on the energy levels the puck is reading. The user can ask questions or type them in and have them saved in the log if so desired.

Note there are no random functions; when the Puck speaks it is doing so because something has changed in the environment causing it to react.

There is a pervading idea at the heart of all the devices we have built for ITC. Simply if we believe that something can change the energy around the device it can use that energy to pick different words. If you were going up to a wall where there are 100’s of buttons. Each time you press a button it says the same thing. However every button says a different word. As you press the buttons you learn the words and soon you have a simple level of communications. Will the Puck say things that do not make sense? Yes! it is reading energy and our environment is full of EMF, static electricity and ionization.

When using the Puck for ITC experiments keep and open mind and always apply common sense.

Is the response quick? You always want to consider responses that occur in a minute or less.
Is the response appropriate? If you ask how old are you and the response is soup it is best to ignore the response.

Android App / Apple App

Modes Available on the Ovilus 5:

ICON	MODE	DESCRIPTION	IMAGE
	HOME	The Ovilus V Home Menu will allow you to select the Mode of your choosing.  Return to the main menu from any other screen to select another mode.
	DICTIONARY MODE	Words are voiced from the on-board dictionary based on environmental readings. Words are voiced from the on-board dictionary based on environmental readings. The Ovilus V does not employ any random generation or algorithm to create speech in any sequence or structured form. When energy changes are detected, the magnitude of the change is used to select 1 of 2048 predefined words. During normal operation the Ovilus V will voice many words. This is the environment changes around the Ovilus triggering the voice. It’s widely held that paranormal events create changes in the environment. These events could be detected and used to voice words from the Ovilus V. The Ovilus V will show the last 3 words voiced in Dictionary Mode.  Access the Log from the Home Screen to see a longer list. To change the Voice (Both Gender and Language) return to the Home Screen and go to the Settings Mode.
	DRAW MODE*	Draws blocks across the screen in colors derived from environmental readings.Draws blocks across the screen in colors derived from environmental readings.This mode is a different method of ITC. Draw Mode typically draws static or gray blocks in low energy areas.However,  sometimes the high energy triggers the Ovilus V to draw very interesting screens. To PAUSE Draw Mode tap the screen. Tap again to re-enable readings. *Draw Mode has its own Settings Screen, accessible from the Draw Mode screen in the bottom right hand corner. Settings Draw Mode has its own Settings Screen, accessible from the Draw Mode screen in the bottom right hand corner.

	PHONETIC MODE	Speech is formed using phonemes from environmental readings. In Phonetic Mode there are not even predefined words- just the building blocks of speech themselves. In Phonetic Mode, both Male and Female phonemes are included.
	TRUE / FALSE MODE	Measures energy to provide a true or false reading. True / False Mode is designed to create a green light based on energy readings increasing and a red light based on them decreasing. When the reading is high or low enough, the True or False light will glow. To PAUSE Energy Mode tap the screen. Tap again to re-enable readings.
	PROXIMITY MODE*	Energy levels display in a radial graph.  Proximity mode is similar to energy mode in the data it uses, but it allows for a different view and a proximity trigger. While Proximity Mode may appear to respond to vibration, it is actually responding static and electromagnetic field.  You do not need to touch the device to have a reading, your energy near the device is often enough, though environment conditions very. For example, if you approach a live electrical outlet, you will see a spike in the readings. Proximity Trigger can be turned on in Proximity Mode’s Settings Screen. To PAUSE Energy Mode tap the screen.  Tap again to re-enable readings. *Proximity Mode has its own Settings Screen, accessible from the Proximity Mode screen in the bottom right hand corner. PROXIMITY TRIGGER With Proximity Trigger, the device attempts to determine changes around the device with a sonar-like display. With the Proximity Trigger on, a white circle will be drawn around the radial graph. When the energy level increases, a sound similar to sonar will be heard and the circle will change colors to red. PROXIMITY MODE SETTINGS Proximity Mode has its own Settings Screen, accessible from the Proximity Mode screen in the bottom right hand corner. Enable and disable Proximity Trigger from the settings screen. After you adjust the settings and tap Done, a saving icon will appear in the top left. You cannot change screens or modes while the saving icon is on.
	SETTINGS MODE	Change the  Volume, Mute the speaker, Clear logs and set Dictionary Voice: Gender and Language. You can use the arrows or slide the volume setting. The device does not automatically mute the internal speaker when a pair of headphones or external amplifier is plugged into the headphone jack. This setting will allow you to manual mute the device for your headphones or other device. When the internal speaker is muted, the Modes with audio will display a crossed out speaker and headphone icon in the top left corner. You can also Clear Logs and permanently delete the logs.  A warning will appear to ensure that you are aware of the consequences. After you press the Home Button, a saving icon will appear in the top left corner. You cannot change screens or modes while the saving icon is on.
