MicroTraX BioLoc GPS and UHF tag 10g & 26g
Tags include GPS, memory, programmable 3D accelerometers, temperature and UHF link. See table below for the full availabiliyt. GPS accuracy is also programmable and 2m is acheivable in open sky area. Transmitters operate from -20°C to +60°C.
Radio link has been field tested to remotely connect with transmitters from 1 km to 136 kms to program, to reprogram or to download data with the BioLoc base station. Up to 240 tags can communcate simultanesouly through the radio link.
Each tag/collar is fully programmable at production or by the scientist. Communication with tags can be done with our "USB Performance" which plugs directly into a laptop by using our software BioLoc Tx. All the software is included for the scientist to easily programme and download data.

Retrieving data via the Radio Link: The tags send their data via the radio link every 30 minutes. Up to 240 tags can be listened to simultaneously.
Immersion tested to 2m and is currently being tested to 5m.
Tags deliverd "On". This can be changed by the USB Performance.
Parameters such as GPS Time to aquisition, HDOP, Timeout, Number of Satellites can be changed by the USB Performance.
Battery life: For the 10g tag with a memory of 600 locations, it will last 60 days with 10 locations per day. It will last 200 days if 3 locations are taken each day. The 26g tag with a memory of 3000 locaions will last 300 days if 10 locations are taken each day and 600 days if 5 locaions are taken each day. And so on.... The only exception is with the solar tag where the life is unlimiited. All calculations assume that the time to aquire a location will take 60 seconds. In an environment with a good view to the sky this time wil be less but by contrast in an environment where the view to the sky is compromised this can be more time. Time between fixes uses virtualy no power.
Refurb: Unfortunately these tags cannot be returned for refurbishment - once used, that is the end of their life.
Availability: Now.
Delivery: 6-8 weeks.
Payment: On order.
Payment: By wire or bank transfer.
Currency: Norwegian Kroner, US Dollars or Euros.
