3.6 Drop Off
Drop Offs allow retrieving the collar without having to recapture the animal.
There are two optional Drop Offs available:
-
Timer-controlled Drop Off: The collar is released after a pre-defined period of time
(relative mode, e.g. 100 weeks) or at a pre-defined date and time (absolute mode, e.g.
01 April 2017). The lifetime of the Drop Off is up to five years after production. The
countdown in relative mode starts after removing the Drop Off magnet.
- Radio-and-timer-controlled Drop Off: The collar is released on demand by UHF
radio signal. For the release an UHF Handheld Terminal Version 5 or higher or a Drop
Off Release Transmitter is needed. The maximum distance is about 500 m (For more
information please refer to the Drop Off Release Transmitter manual). Additional timer
control (relative or absolute mode) functions as backup. The lifetime of this Drop Off is
up to 4 years after production.
