Telonics - Model IMPTAV Series - Argos Implantable Avian Transmitters
FromTelonics, Inc.
Estimates of battery life are based on 250mW, 4-byte Argos transmissions with a 60-second repetition rate at 25°C. Argos transmissions are typically duty-cycled for an average of closer to the 4-hours/day example. Dimensions are exclusive of the antenna.

- These models are designed to be implanted in the body cavity of birds with the antenna extending out of the bird. They operate through the Argos System, which is a satellite-based system providing global coverage and particularly good performance in the polar regions. Animal locations are calculated using the Doppler-shift in frequency of the transmitter’s uplink transmission. (These units do not use GPS for location determination.)
- Mortality, activity, temperature, and low-voltage sensors are available with all these models. Data can be collected according to user-defined parameters and schedules and transmitted through Argos.
- Argos transmissions can be duty-cycled to extend battery life, and to schedule transmissions when the best overpasses are predicted. A real-time clock/calendar controls all timing functions.
- Data retrieved through Argos are processed using the Telonics Data Converter (TDC). TDC provides complete data decoding of Argos DS files, including location and sensor data, and provides for plotting of locations in Google Earth.
- Units are powered by primary battery. They are turned on or off using a magnetic switch. When turned off, these ST-26 based units consume less than 5.3µA.
- Units can be refurbished to their original condition by Telonics.
