SMRC Series : Features and Benefits

 
 
     
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.

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. (Available only on some models).

Injected Pulse Activity Sensor
Allows you to determine the degree of animal activity (manual tracking only).

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.)

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.

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.
