3.1. Standard transmitters Lotek’s Ultimate Lite transmitters are our lightweight option for radio tracking small animals. The life and weight of the final package is determined by the cell, the type and length of antenna and its final design as either a Collar, Harness, Implant, Leg-Band or Glue-On package. -

142MHz to 174MHz. Special frequencies are available on request. 3.3. Temperature Variants There are two variants of Ultimate Lite transmitter with a temperature sensor to measure body or ambient temperatures. The temperature sensor does not increase the weight of the transmitter. The pulse rate and therefore the operational life of the transmitter varies with the temperature. - Page 7 10.0 Degrees Centigrade Graph showing the typical temperature versus pulse rates for the two versions of Ultimate Lite temperature transmitters. NOTE: The above graph is indicative only and MUST NOT be used for your deployments. For accurate results each transmitter must be individually calibrated with its own temperature vs pulse rate graph prior to deployment.
