'''Scanners''' (or '''multi-scanners''', or '''Auspexes''') are [[Imperial]] short-ranged devices used to detect motion, invisible gases and energy emissions throughout a wide spectrum, such as heat, radiation and most forms of energy given off by vehicles and living troops.{{Fn|1}}

==Overview==

Their main tactical use is to reveal otherwise hidden troops and allow them to be fired on. The standard range of a handheld scanner is fifty,{{Fn|1}} five hundred,{{Fn|8}} or fifteen hundred metres,{{Fn|9}} although walls more than fifty centimetres thick as well as certain shielding materials are able to block them.{{Fn|1}} Longer-range, bulky, auspexes have, depending on craftmanship, a range of five or ten kilometres and can penetrate walls up to a metre thick.{{Fn|6a}} Ground vehicle-mounted auspexes can have a range of fifty kilometres.{{Fn|6b}} Aircraft-mounted auspexes can have a range of a hundred kilometres.{{Fn|11}}

*'''Divinator Class''' - Used by [[Incursor]] [[Space Marine]]s{{Fn|2}}

*'''Lodestar Class''' - Used by [[Phobos Strike Team]]s. This ancient and little-seen model provides exceptional strategic inloads, almost the equal of having a spaceship scanning the region from on high.{{Fn|3}}
