| Recommended Battery |
Energizer Lithium e2, Duracell Ultra or Rechargeable |
| Setup & Data Download |
Using embedded UHF radio modem
Separately scheduled to be on when required
Setup and download over distances up to 1000m |
| Tracking Beacon |
15 separate frequencies available
Separately scheduled to be on when required
Tracking ability over 6000m |
| Battery life and memory capacity |
1MB Flash Memory that can store up to 65,000 positional locations or 4000 RINEX data locations.
The number of locations that can be collected is independent on battery capacity which in itself is dependent on the tracking schedule selected, the configuration of the satellites and their visibility to the collar. In the best case scenario, the GPS receiver determines a location within 4 seconds although the average time taken to obtain a location is 30s. Best and worst case scenarios presented. |
