Preventing the unauthorised use of wireless communica-tion is an essential part of security.The
ORBIS 5 hand held jammer provides protection against un-known use of the 2.4 – 2.5 GHz and 5 -
6 GHz bands using three independent jamming transmitters that can be con gured to ensure that
the wireless signals are jammed only on the frequency bands used in the country selected.
The 5 – 6 GHz band includes sub-bands which can be jammed using the two independent trans-
mitters dedicated to the 5 – 6 GHz band.This capability reduces the jamming power required and
improves the jamming range by con-centrating the jamming power over a narrower band width. In
addition, a global setting option enables band selection outside the country-speci c regulatory band
limits.
The ORBIS 5 is easy to con gure for country spe-ci c or for global frequency bands and for output
power.Where 2 or 3 of the jammer transmitters are required to be active at the same time, they
can be linked using the JAM + feature to enable easier and faster operation.

01/ CASE CONTENTS, CONTROLS & CONNECTIONS
The Orbis 5 is designed to disrupt wireless communications in the 2.4...2.5GHz and
5...6GHz bands. Commercial equipment using these bands include wireless LAN,
industrial, medical and radar equipment.
As devices in the 2.4GHz band can mitigate interference by changing frequency, the
ORBIS 5 jams the entire 2.4GHz band continuously with one transmitter.

In the 5...6GHz band the ORBIS 5 has two transmitters which can individually be
congured to jam sub-bands or groups of sub-bands for different types of licence free
and licensed communications.The capability to selectively jam sub-bands can reduce
collateral jamming or improve the range by concentrating the radiated power where it
is required.
Each of the transmitters, 2.4GHz and 2 x 5GHz) can be either independently
controlled from the front panel or linked together for simultaneous operation.
Precise band limits are region dependent. A country selection menu allows rapid
conguration for different regions.
3.1 / POWER SUPPLY
3.1.1
Internal battery pack
The unit includes a high-capacity Lithium
ion battery pack and built-in intelligent
battery charger.
3.2
Using the mains power supply
The 100- unit is switched off
Note 1: charge times may be longer if
the unit is in use.
Note 2: The battery is protected against
overcharge and over-discharge.
Note 3: Battery life is 2 hours with
continuous transmission on all bands at
maximum power.The actual battery life
depends on the bands enabled and the
transmission power.
3.2.1
When the battery is almost exhausted
a “Battery Low” warning will
intermittently ash on the screen.
3.2.2
Connect an external power source to
continue operating without interruption.
The Orbis 5 is designed to disrupt wireless communications in the 2.4...2.5GHz and
5...6GHz bands. Commercial equipment using these bands include wireless LAN,
industrial, medical and radar equipment.
As devices in the 2.4GHz band can mitigate interference by changing frequency, the
ORBIS 5 jams the entire 2.4GHz band continuously with one transmitter.
03/ GETTING STARTED WITH THE ORBIS 5

3.2.3
When the battery is exhausted a
continuous “Recharge Battery, switch
off  rst” message will appear.
3.2.4
Switch off the unit and connect the
charger.
Once the charger is connected the unit
may be switched on and used while the
battery is charging, however this will
increase the battery charge time from
the normal 2 to 3 hours.
Note: When the charger is connected
a glow can be seen in the F1 key,
indicating the approximate state of
charge:
Green: Fully charged
Orange: Partly charged
Red: Low charge level
Important: due to the 3A current
requirement standard USB chargers
should not be used. Always use the
provided mains charger. Do not use any
voltage other than 5V.
3.3 / SWITCHING ON
Important: before switching on connect
both antennas to the coaxial (SMA)
connectors. If alternative antennas are
used for specialist applications, please
ask the manufacturer for advice.
3.3.1
Slide the power switch on the side of
the unit to “ON”.
Note: The product
name,  rmware versions
and geographic region
are shown sequentially in
the alphanumeric display.
3.3.2
To skip the “sign-on” information oper-
ation press the F3 key before switching
on, and release the key immediately
after switching on.
When the Orbis 5 is ready for use, the
three keys F1 to F3 are labelled with the
corresponding bands (2.4 GHz, 5GHz
sub-band, second 5GHz sub-band) and
the current jamming status.
The top line of the display indicates the
band, and the bottom line shows the
current status of that band.The status of
this band can be:
•Off disabled via the band’s
con guration menution menu
• jam“jam” in lower-case means jamming
is available but not currently active
ORBIS 5 USER GUIDE
05

• JAM “JAM” in upper-case means the
unit is currently ja is band.
Note: “JAM” and “jam” will be followed
by a “+” if the band is linked. All linked
bands switch between jamming and
inactive states simultaneously.
(See below for a detailed explanation of
linked bands.)
Bands currently jamming are also indicated by red illumination of the corresponding
key, unless the key illumination has been disabled via the conguration menu.
When there is a requirement to jam wireless communication using 2.4GHz and/or
5GHz frequencies the ORBIS 5 jamming signal will disrupt the communication.

05/ SETTING UP THE ORBIS 5 FOR JAMMING
5.1 / CONFIGURATION
There are two types of conguration
menu: the MAIN MENU and the INDI-
VIDUAL BAND CONFIGURATION
SHORTCUTS.The SORTCUTS menu
bypasses the MAIN MENU to rapidly
enable, disable or link bands.
5.2 / MAIN CONFIGURATION
Conguration options affecting 2.4GHz,
and 2 x 5GHz are selected via the main
conguration menu.
5.2.1
To congure the unit press the F1, F2
and F3 keys simultaneously to enter the
Conguration Menu.
The top line of the relevant display
shows Cfg:
followed by the item to be congured.

ORBIS 5 USER GUIDE
5.2.2
Repeatedly press the F1 key to cycle
through the list
of con gurable items until the required
item is visible
in the top line.
Example: Cfg: Power allows the output
power to be adjusted.
5.2.3
To con gure a displayed item press F2
key (OK) to enter the con guration
menu for that item.
The con guration details depend on the
item being con gured. The main items to
be con gured are:
5.2.4
Press F1 key to select Country con gu-
ration
Use the F1 and F2 keys to select the
country or region of operation.This will
set the band limits for that region.
5.2.4.1
Select Global to cover the widest band
limits and reduce the risk of illegally
imported equipment intended for other
regions not being effectively jammed.
5.2.4.2
Press F3 - Done when  nished.
5.2.5 Press F1 key to show Power
con guration
The power is adjustable between
23dBm and 33dBm (200mW to 2W
assuming all channels are jamming)
in1dB steps, indicated by a bar-graph
to the right of the Pwr: label. Higher
power levels improve jamming
effectiveness but reduce battery life.
If in doubt, use maximum power to
increase the probability of effective
jamming.
5.2.5.1
Select required power level.
5.2.5.2
Press F3 - Done when  nished.
5.2.6 Display Con guration

5.2.7 5GHz Sub-band Conguration
The 5GHz band is shared and is divid-
ed into sub-bands
Active sub-bands are each indicated on
the display by a one letter abbreviation
for each band. Eg: in the UK if the F2
key is labelled “5BC” then 5GHz bands B
and C are selected. During conguration,
the frequency limits in MHz are shown
for each band the menu entry for band
B plus band C will show B+C: 5470-
5875. (see table of bands for UK).
The available sub-bands may vary with
region, so always congure the Country
before the 5GHz sub-bands.
To cover the whole 5..6GHz band for
the region without any gaps, select MAX
5.2.7.1

5.3 / BAND CONFIGURATION
The top display row labels each band:
eg 2.4 5A 5BC
5.3.1
Con gure each band to be AVAILABLE,
DISABLED or LINKED
5.3.2
Hold the key for the band to be
con gured for at least one second to
enter band con guration mode for
that band only.
Note: The relevant key illuminates
green to indicate that the band is
being con gured.
5.3.3
Cycle through band con guration
options with short (less than 0.5s)
presses.
The state of the band (Off, On, Link)
will be modi ed and displayed each
time the key is released:
On indicates that the band is active.
On returning to the main screen the
key will be labelled “----” to indicate
that jamming is not available.This
function might be used to conserve
battery life by disabling a band known
to be unused or required to be left
unjammed.
Link adds the band to the list of linked
bands (indicated in the Home screen
by jam+ or JAM+) which jam simulta-
neously when any linked key is
pressed.
5.3.4
Exit a band’s con guration mode and
return to the Home Screen by a long
