Accessories: 

Your Python detectors can be upgraded with a number of accessories to improve the detection range such as our Power Booster Module and Higher Gain RF Antenna which allows you to mount your detector or upgraded antenna in a different location.

For our Python P3 Detector we also have our Python Remote Display Header that allows you to mount our small Visual Display in a different location than the main Python Detector Unit. This allows the main detector unit to be mounted more discreetly e.g. in the glove box or under a seat.

The following table gives a quick guide to the recommend accessories:


 Windscreen Mounted Higher RF Gain Antenna: 

You can increase the detection range of your detector by fitting a Higher RF Gain windscreen mounted antenna.

A Higher RF Gain windscreen mounted antenna this would increase the detection range by approximately 50%. The detection range will depend on a number of factors such as:

  • The strength of the transmitted signal
  • The distance from the transmitted signal
  • The surrounding terrain

You can easily upgrade to the Higher RF Gain windscreen mounted antenna without the need for any special tools.

Specification:

  • Type: Higher RF Gain Antenna Glass Mount Strip Antenna
  • Frequency: 380-385MHz
  • Gain: 2 dBi
  • VSWR: 1.5 To 1

  • Connector: Straight SMA Male
  • Impedance: 50 Ohms
  • Antenna Height: 115mm
  • Antenna Width: 22mm
  • Cable Length: 3 meters
  • Fixing: Glass Mount Strip Antenna (Double sided sticky pad)

Note: Using another manufactures Antenna could cause the sensitivity and detection range of the detector to be compromised.


 Remote Display Header for Python 3825/P3: 

The Python Remote Display Header that allows you to mount our small Visual Display in a different location than the main Python Detector Unit. This allows the main detector unit to be mounted more discreetly e.g. in the glove box or under a seat. The detector must be used with the high gain windscreen antenna or external antenna for best detection

Specification:

  • Type: P3 Remote Display Header
  • Connector Type: USB (Mini-B) Plug
  • ON/OFF illuminated Red LED
  • 5 varaible brightness Blue LEDs for each detection level
  • Fits and works with Python: Model No. 3825/P3
  • Size: 45 x 17 x 8.5mm (L x W x D)

Note:

  • Not compatible with the Python P1, P2, P2/IB detectors

 Python P2 Power Booster Module: 

You can increase the detection range of your Python P2 detector by fitting a Power Booster Module. The Power Booster Module will increase the sensitivity of your detector by approximately 25%.

The detection range will depend on a number of factors such as:

  • The strength of the transmitted signal
  • The distance from the transmitted signal
  • The surrounding terrain

You can easily upgrade your Python P2 to the Power Booster Module without the need for any special tools.

Specification:

  • Type: P2 Power Booster Module
  • Connector Type: USB (Mini-B) Plug
  • ON/OFF illuminated LED
  • Fits and works with Python: Model No. 3825/P2
  • Size: 21.5 x 17 x 8.5mm (L x W x D)

Note:

  • Not compatible with the Python P1, P2/IB and P3 detector

Installation: Make sure you fit the Power Booster Module in the correct orientation as the connector will only fit in one position. Once the Power Booster Module is fitted the green BST LED will be illuminated on the visual display and the green LED will be illuminated on the Power Booster Module showing that the power booster is active.

Once active the Power Booster Module will set your detector sensitivity level automatically to boost sensitivity level 6.


 Magnetic Dash Mount: 

If you want to mount the detector in another location in your vehicle you can use the self-adhesive magnetic dash mount that will allow you to position your detector on the dash or center console.

You can easily upgrade to the Magnetic Dash Mount without the need for any special tools.

Specification:

  • Type: Magnetic Dash Mount
  • Mount Height (without detector): 31.5mm
  • Mounting Base Width: 53.5mm

Note: If are using the Python with the standard antenna, ensure that you can mount the detector as high as possible on the vehicles dashboard to ensure the best detection.

If you mount the optional magnetic dash mount on a lower position in your vehicle (for example under neither your dashboard), we recommend that you upgrade to a Higher Gain RF antenna.
