-
User-selectable pulse rate
- Allows you to identify different animals, to extend life with a lower pulse rate, and to choose a higher pulse rate, which makes it easier to hear/track the animal.
- User-selectable mortality rate
- Allows you to set mortality rate depending on the study objectives and the type of animal (e.g., bear vs. elk).
-
User-selectable mortality delay time
- The delay can be set anywhere from 5 seconds to 24 hours of inactivity.
Can set delay so as to optimize battery life when studying some types
of animals (e.g., bear). Can also be used as an activity sensor at
low delay time (e.g., 5 seconds).
- Mortality Sensor
- Allows you to know when the animal/collar has been inactive after a specified period of time. Helpful for mortality studies. Allows you to recover collar and investigate cause of death quickly.
-
Injected Pulse Activity Sensor
- Allows you to determine the degree of animal activity (manual tracking only).
- Head-up/Head-down Activity Sensor
- Allows you to determine when the animal is grazing vs. other activities.
Can datalog this information if desired for future analysis.
-
Double/Triple Beep Pulse Rate
- Can audibly distinguish between three different collars on the same frequency. This is helpful in areas where many frequencies are already in use.
- Frequency stability - minimal drift with temperature
- These is less chance for interference with other collars in close frequency range. Easier to track animal - less worry that drift has gone past the point of audibility during tracking.
-
Waterproof and shockproof
- Improves reliability and durability of the collar.
- Operating
frequency 140-180 MHz
- Provides you with more flexibility to meet your requirements for frequencies in other countries (e.g., Japan, USA, Canada, etc.)
-
Three different collar types
- Allows you to select the most appropriate collar type for the animal being studied.
- Strain relief built into antennas
- Minimizes the chance of the antenna breaking over lifespan of the collar.
-
User-definable belt length and adjustment
- Allows you to choose the best belt length and adjustment for the animal being studied.
- Belting with finished edges and smooth inner surface
- Decreases risk of abrasions, and allows for a comfortable fit. Therefore decreases the influence of the collar on the behaviour of the animal.
-
Solid brass and stainless steel clamps
- Offers durability and will not rust.
- Choice of protruding or embedded antenna
- The protruding antenna offers more range. The embedded version offers no visible antenna for the animal to chew on, thereby extending the life of the collar.
-
Ability to shut the collar off with a magnet
- Helps to conserve battery life.
- Choice of two different epoxy types
- Depending on the species requirements, you can select collars with either the black epoxy, which is more durable for carnivores, or the clear epoxy, which is lighter and better for herbivores.
