Jammer Detector
Models JA-2030
OVERVIEW
The J-Alert is multi-band receiver capable of detecting
Radio Frequency Jamming. The J-Alert uses signal
analysis to identify valid communications and
differentiate them from malicious Radio Frequency
Jamming signals.
When Jamming is detected, visual alerting of the
jammed radio spectrum is identified on the front of the
unit and the RSSI (received signal strength indication)
LED’s on the front display are activated as well as an
audible beep will also be heard. The LED activity will
indicate target vehicle position relative to the J-Alert
equipped vehicle.

Theory of Operation
The J-Alert contains a number of sensitive radio frequency
receivers tuned to specific radio bands.
Model JA-2030 (Europe & Brazil)
GPS – L1
GSM /900 – GSM/1800 MHz
UMTS
These radio receivers are tuned to the Downlink (Site)
frequencies of their respective cellular bands. Very fast scanning
within the bands is used with an adaptive signal analysis to
identify jamming signals from legitimate radio signals. When
jamming is detected the receiver identifying the jammed signal
will indicate band jamming on the front panel illuminating the
respective led’s.

(BAND JAMMING LED INDICATORS)
Cell Jamming
When cellular jamming is detected on any of the cellular bands,
the Cell LED will illuminate. RSSI LED indication will be displayed
indicating the strength of the Cellular Jammer received signal.
GPS Jamming
When jamming of the GPS L-1 frequency is detected, the GPS
LED will illuminate and tracking using the RSSI LED display is
active.

Installation and Operation
Package Contains
1- J-Alert Model JA2030 (EU & BR)
1- DC to DC convertor 12/24 to 5 v dc.
1- 220v AC to 5 v dc adaptor
1- Whip antenna
4- Pieces of 3M Dual Lock adhesive strips for unit mounting
1) Install J-Alert Model JA-2030 in a dry location either at a fixed
location or inside a vehicle to suit the requirements of your
operation. Antenna location should be at a line of level to
intercept signals from the suspect vehicle either at Dashboard or
Sun Visor level. Numerous configurations of equipment in
vehicles pre-exist therefore ensure antennas are located above
dashboard height and the device is secured to the vehicle in a
manner to prevent movement during driving maneuvers 4 strips
of 3M Dual Lock recloseable tape are provided, 2 for the J-Alert
and 2 for the surface to be attached to in the vehicle. The JA-
2030 is a small and light weight device allowing for the
application of double sided tape or Velcro for the purpose of
mounting the unit within the vehicle and this method also

allows for the JA-2030 unit to removed from the vehicle for the
purposes of taking on foot to confirm location of a jammer.
2) Insert the in-car power adapter or ac power adapter to
provide power via the rear USB charging port.
3) Turn on the J-Alert by switching the power switch to Ext for
use in a fixed location or in a vehicle where an external power
source is available or to Bat if taking the unit on foot using the
internal battery. (When powered the LED’s will all illuminate on
the face of the J-Alert and then after 2 sec. only the power LED
will be illuminated.
The device is now operational.
When a jamming device is detected operating in a Radio
Frequency band monitored by the J-Alert, the Led corresponding
to the band being jammed will illuminate on the front of the
device.

Jammer locating
(Mobile)
When jamming is detected, the Cell and GPS LED illuminates, an
audible alert will be heard and the received signal strength from
the jammer will be displayed. The received signal strength will
vary according to the proximity of the offender to the J-Alert.
When maximum Received Signal Strength is indicated on the
RSSI display, you can confirm the location of the jammer by
removing the J-Alert from the vehicle, switching the power to
battery and walk towards the offending vehicle or location.
Walk in the direction which indicates maximum signal.
(Fixed)
When jamming is detected using a J-Alert operating at a fixed
location (pinch point). Insert a 2.5 mm stereo plug into the rear
of the J-Alert relay out. Using the N/O (normally open) or the
N/C (normally closed) dry contacts you can trigger an external
device such as an alarm or a video camera to record the
offending vehicle or person.
•Using a transmitting cellphone within 24” of a J-Alert can
cause false sensing.
