The
MCFT Series
Coded Radio Transmitters
|
|
| |
|
|
MCFT radio
transmitters are designed for operation in Lotek digitally
encoded telemetry systems. Based upon a proprietary coding
scheme, these systems allow up
to 521 transmitters on a single 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 is enhanced
accordingly. |

Physical dimensions
and weights are typically within +/- +3% of listed specification.
Periodic design modifications to individual transmitter
models may alter specifications. Selection of external
attachment design, sensor option or antenna may further
affect stated specifications. It is recommended that specifications
be confirmed when placing an order. Transmitter operational
life may vary, dependent in part upon the conditions to
which they are subjected. For this reason, calculated
operational life values are specified, based on component
specifications and transmitter measurements. Warranty
life isdefined as 80% of the calculated value effective
from date of shipment. Limited warranty applies to transmitter
models when operational life exceeds three years. Any Lotek
transmitter found to be defective with respect to material,
workmanship or warranty life, will be repaired or replaced
subject to Lotek product warranty conditions and limitations. |
