LB-2X

Our new LB-2X is the smallest and lightest 2-stage transmitter currently commercially available. It is designed for glue-on attachment to small bats, small birds and large insects. The lighter weight of this transmitter now permits the radiotracking of smaller species than previously possible. The quoted weight is the total weight of the finished encapsulated transmitter, antenna and battery, ready to use in the field.

Frequency Range: Limited quantities within 148, 149, 150, 151, 164, 165 & 172 MHz only.

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

Pulse Width & Rate: Pulse width 20 ms ą 10%; pulse rate nominal 0.67 p/s (40 p/m).

Specifications:

Model	Weight	Nominal Life	Lifespan range	Dimensions LxWxH (mm)
LB-2X	0.26g	7 days	4-8 days	10 x 5.3 x 2.8
LB-2X	0.31g	12 days	8-15 days	10 x 5.3 x 2.8
LB-2X	0.36g	21 days	13-22 days	10 x 5.3 x 2.8

Housing: The transmitter and battery are encapsulated in an inert waterproof epoxy. Although the unit is usually glued to the animal (click here for gluing instructions), one tube can be attached for the passage of harness material or a suture. A tube will increase the total weight by ~0.05g.

Antenna: Single stainless steel wire, 0.007" (0.18mm) in diameter, 12-14cm in length.

Activation: Soldering two wires starts the transmitter. Activation Instructions

OPTIONS
Temperature (suffix "T"): An increase or decrease in temperature results in a corresponding increase or decrease in pulse rate. At the standard settings, the pulse rate changes from ~30 p/m at 0°C to ~50 p/m at 40°C. Each transmitter is supplied with a plotted calibration curve. This option adds ~0.05 g to the finished weight of the transmitter.
