M Series* - MAP Acoustic Fish Transmitters

MAP Acoustic Transmitters for Fish
Available as ID-only (this page) or ID plus sensors

M-Series acoustic tags are designed for operation with Lotek’s unique MAP digital encoded telemetry systems. These systems allow over 80,000 unique ID’s on a single acoustic frequency, while retaining the ability to identify individual animals.

Both ID-only and ID plus sensors (temperature, pressure/depth or motion) can be simultaneously monitored and recorded.

This page contains specifications for the non-sensor models of the M Series acoustic tags.

Specifications for the sensor models of the M Series can be found here.

*(replaces MA-Series)

• Over 80,000 unique ID’s.
• Allows simultaneous detection/decoding hundreds of co-located transmitters.
• Rapid (1/sec) transmission rates.
• On/off activation by magnet removal.
• Sensor option available (temperature, pressure, motion).
• ID-only and ID plus sensor transmitters can be detected/recorded simultaneously.

Examples of real-time and/or datalogging applications for which M-Series coded transmitters are ideally suited include:

• Species interaction
• Migration / passage studies
• Fine scale 2D and 3D habitat utilization
• Environmental assessment
• Aquaculture research including in-cage monitoring
• Behavior relative to hydro dam operations

Notes on specifications

1. Acoustic frequency 76 or 200 KHz.
2. All dimensions are for internal implantation.
3. External attachment option available, which slightly increases transmitter length and weight.
4. Size/weight specification tolerance typically +/- 2% but periodic design modifications to individual models may result in greater deviation from specified above. It is recommended that specifications be confirmed when placing an order.
5. Warranty life is defined as 80% of the calculated life. Calculations are based on the battery manufacturer’s specifications and tests performed at our factory.
6. Calculated life listed for 76 KHz operation - add 25% for 200 KHz.
7. All tags are guaranteed to meet stated specifications upon shipment. Any Lotek tags found to be defective, with respect to material or work manship, will be repaired or replaced.
