RI-2C |
This transmitter was designed for tail mount attachment on raptors and other birds with robust tails. It can also be configured for backpack attachment to birds, herptiles and small mammals.
Frequency Range: 138 to 235 MHz.
Transmitter: Crystal controlled two-stage design, pulsed by a CMOS multivibrator.
Pulse Width & Rate: 20 to 24 ms, nominal 0.6 p/s (36 p/m).
Specifications: (* = model shown above)| Model | Weight | Nominal Life | Lifespan range | Dimensions: L x Diameter (mm) |
| RI-2C | 5.6g | 6 months | 3-6 months | 25 x 12 |
| RI-2C* | 6.0g | 12 months | 6-18 months | 32 x 10 |
| RI-2C | 7.5g | 18 months | 12-18 months | 39 x 10 |
| RI-2C | 9.0g | 24 months | 12-24 months | 49 x 10 |
| RI-2C | 12g | 24 months | 12-30 months | 38 x 14 |
| RI-2C | 15g | 30 months | 18-36 months | 43 x 14 |
| RI-2C | 18g | 36 months | 24-42 months | 44 x 16 |
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.
Attachment: Small tubes are incorporated for passage of material to tie the unit to one or two tail feathers. Larger tubes are used for backpack attachment.
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.
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.
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.
