MAP Series

The MAP Series
Coded Acoustic Transmitters
for MAP Systems

     


MAP acoustic transmitters are designed for operation with Lotek's unique MAP digital encoded telemetry systems. Based upon proprietary coding schemes, these systems allow up to 80,000 unique codes on a single acoustic frequency*, while retaining the ability to identify individual animals.

This capability significantly reduces the need for additional frequencies, with a corresponding reduction in total scan time over conventional pulsed systems. Spatial and temporal resolution are enhanced accordingly.

* Actual number of codes is application specific - please consult with your Lotek representative for details.

Key Features
    MAP Series transmitters offer:
  • MAP compatible coding for improved signal performance
  • crystal stabilized signal to prevent frequency drift
  • components hermetically sealed to prevent water intrusion
  • fully assembled tag with an easy to use on/off activation switch
  • a variety of sizes and specifications to suit individual application
    requirements
  • support for robust sensor data transmission
 
         
Applications
   
Examples of real-time and/or datalogging applications for which MAP coded transmitters are ideally suited include:
  • migration / passage studies
  • 2D and 3D habitat utilization
  • environmental assessment
  • aquaculture research including in-cage monitoring

Please note:

  • All dimensions are for internal attachment with the exception of the MAP32_ ls.
  • Longevities vary, based in part upon environmental conditions to which they are subjected. For this reason, warranted longevity is defined as 80% of the specified value at time of order. Calculations are based on the battery manufacturer's specifications at a code burst interval of 5 seconds.
  • All tags are guaranteed to meet stated specifications upon shipment. Any Lotek tags found to be defective, with respect to material, workmanship or guaranteed longevity, effective from date of receipt, will be repaired or replaced.
  • Periodic design modifications to individual models may alter specifications. Selection of external attachment design or other options may further affect stated specifications. It is recommended that specifications be confirmed when placing an order.
