Key Features
    

Some of the key features and benefits of the SMRC Series:

  • Operational field life is performance guaranteed. Will vary depending upon pulse rate, pulse width and battery selected.

  • All transmitters, sensors, and batteries are hermetically sealed and are encapsulated in water-tight, physiologically inert, electrical resin.

  • All units are designed to conform to the contours of the attachment site so as to provide an optimal combination of package weight, volume, durability and component protection and, to minimize their impact on the animal's behavior.

  • All transmitters are turned on and off with a magnet.

  • All collars include belting, braided stainless-steel whip antennas, (protruding or enclosed format), and self-locking brass and stainless-steel fasteners required for attachment to animals.

  • All transmitters are waterproof and shockproof.
