FLiteTraX BioLoc - GPS ARGOS and UHF Tag 21g
The FLiteTraX BioLoc GPS ARGOS and UHF Tag is a sophisticated tracking solution for researchers and scientists. Weighing just 21 grams with dimensions of 45x29x18mm, it includes GPS, programmable 3D accelerometers, temperature sensors, and a UHF communication link. The tags are solar-powered and provide geofencing capabilities through ARGOS link. They boast programmable GPS accuracy down to 2 meters in open sky conditions, functioning optimally in a temperature range of -20°C to +60°C. The radio link allows remote access to data from up to 136 kilometers. Up to 240 tags can be managed simultaneously using the BioLoc base station, and scientists can program or reprogram tags via the BioLoc USB Performance tool. Memory is virtually unlimited, and battery life varies depending on usage patterns, with solar tags offering indefinite service. These tags are available as collars, ear-tags, backpacks, or glue-on formats. Parameters such as GPS acquisition time, HDOP, and the number of satellites can be adjusted through the USB Performance.
Tags include GPS, memory, programmable 3D accelerometers (on collars and Argos tag), temperature and UHF link. Solar tags with Argos link with a Geofencing option. 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.
Available as tags, back-pack, collar, ear-tag, tape or "glue-on's". Tags can be made into a collar as well.
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.
