RI-2A

This unit is designed for aggressive raptors (such as spotted owls) where a durable back-pack is required. It is designed to present a very low profile and has a very rugged antenna and anchoring system.

RI-2A transmitter

Frequency Range: 138 to 235 MHz.

Transmitter: Crystal controlled two-stage design, pulsed by a CMOS multivibrator.

Pulse Width & Rate: 20 to 30 ms, nominal 0.7 p/s (42 p/m).

Specifications:
Model Weight Nominal Life Lifespan range Dimensions: LxWxH (mm)
RI-2A 8g 6 months 3-9 months 50 x 25 x5
RI-2A 12g 12 months 9-18 months 50 x 25 x 7
RI-2A 17g 24 months 18-30 months 50 x 25 x9
Power Output: Set to use available battery power over the required transmitter life.

Housing: The battery and transmitter are encapsulated in an inert waterproof epoxy.

Antenna: Stranded stainless steel cable covered with a black nylon coating. Two layers of shrinkable tubing reinforce the antenna at its base.

Activation: Removing an external magnet starts the transmitter. Replacing it stops the transmitter.


OPTIONS
Mortality (suffix "M"): After a nominal delay of 12 hours the pulse rate increases from a nominal ~42 p/m to ~75 p/m. After the mortality mode has been triggered, any motion resets the transmitter to the normal pulse rate. This option adds ~0.5g to the finished weight of each transmitter.

Activity (suffix "A"): Every motion event exceeding a preset range of angles generates one extra pulse between the normal pulses. This activity pulse is distinctively shorter (~12 ms) than the normal pulses. This option adds ~0.5g to the finished weight of each transmitter.

Position (suffix "P"): The pulse rate switches from ~24 p/m to ~50 p/m when the animal changes body position, pivoting the transmitter 10° or more from a preset orientation. This option adds ~0.5g to the finished weight of each transmitter.
