Digital Data Information |
|
| Battery ON Time | Track study duration and device use; accurate within ±1.5 days at body temperature (i.e. ~37°C) |
| Animal ID (serial number) | Transmission of ID to assigned receiver prevents wrong data collection |
| Calibrations |
Simplifies configuration and ensures accurate calibration entry |
Specifications, performance and accuracy are valid for the warranted battery life and only when data are recorded using Dataquest™ A.R.T. 4.3, OpenART 4.3 or Ponemah 5.0 with factory-supplied calibration values. Transmitters may work over wider ranges with reduced accuracy.
*An externally worn telemetry repeater is available to allow retransmission of the telemetry signals using multiple frequencies over a long range (3-10m). This also permits the use of smaller transmitter models in large animals. See our website for more details.
