The VHF transmitter can be programmed to stay off for up to 23 hours each day in order to
extend G2110E2 life. The VHF transmitter also has some obligatory beep patterns which you
will hear regardless of whether the transmitter was scheduled to be active.
The different operating modes of the collar and the associated
VHF
patterns are as follows:
Normal operation
(with unsuccessful last fix) = 48 ppm single, duty cycle applies
Normal operation
(with successful last fix) = 48 ppm single with double every 6
th
, duty cycle
applies
Mortality mode
with slow rate enabled
= 30 ppm, duty cycle override
Mortality mode with fast rate enabled
= 80 ppm, duty cycle override
Collar released successfully =
Mortality VHF, if enabled. If mortality is not enabled, 30 ppm.
Duty cycle override.
Low Battery =
Mortality VHF, if enabled. If mortality not enabled, 30 ppm. Duty cycle
override.
After erasing program and data
= no VHF.
After removing magnet
= After a silent period of up to 30 seconds, VHF pattern will be pattern
that was emitted prior to magnet going on to the collar UNLESS the collar was not programmed
prior to placement of magnet. The VHF will stay on until the collar next checks it schedule to
determine if VHF should be on, which is the beginning of the next hour.
IF COLLAR WAS NOT PROGRAMMED WITH A SCHEDULE PRIOR TO
PLACEMENT OF MAGNET, THE
VHF
UPON REMOVAL OF MAGNET WILL
BE ‘NORMAL OPERATION (WITH UNSUCCESSFUL LAST FIX)’. SINCE THE
COLLAR WAS NOT PROGRAMMED WITH A SPECIFIC
VHF
SCHEDULE, IT
WILL CONTINOUSLY EMIT THIS
VHF
PATTERN. NOTE THAT THIS
VHF
PATTERN ALONE SHOULD NOT BE USED TO DETERMINE IF A COLLAR
IS PROGRAMMED OR NOT.
If there is any concern whether or not a collar is programmed, you can use ATS
Fixes
to
determine if a collar is programmed or not. See section 10 Diagnostics for details.
VIT
not synced
(if applicable) – triple pulse within 10 secs. The triple pulse will be emitted in
between single pulses.
