Faraday Defense designed it to detect E1 and E2 pulses, the kind typically caused by EMPs from military or nuclear sources, and to sound a continuous audible alarm when it does. It's always on, runs on a CR1620 coin cell for years and lives in a water-resistant, shock-proof thermoplastic case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's for preparedness enthusiasts, military personnel, critical system managers and anyone who wants to know right away when an E1 or E2 event happens. Two removable straps, one with an HK clip and one with a key ring, attach it to a backpack, coat or piece of equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qcdQKnPVshI\" title=\"DEFCON Pulse Tag Explanation and Installation\" style=\"max-width: 100%;\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDEFCON Pulse Tag Personal EMP Detection System Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFast E1 and E2 Detection\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pulse Tag monitors the E1 and E2 frequency ranges for pulses with durations of 20 nanoseconds.
