WMD Walker Wand 125/24MPGPS Multi-Protocol GPS

Description

WMD Walker Wand 125/24MPGPS. A highly mobile, lightweight and small form factor, mobile Multi-Protocol PIT tag scanning wand. Extra versatility when using different tag types and protocols. Automatically reads both FDX and HDX protocol tags without the need to pre configure.

The ability to be able to detect tags from different protocols in an active way is extremely useful where fate of lost/missing tags, animals and/or fish are important to be determined. The same principle applies to monitoring passive cobble transport in Geomorphological studies, terrestrial monitoring and assessments. When used in faster rivers and streams, in order to reduce operator strain and fatigue, we developed the Walker Wand 125/24MPGPS for precisely these purposes, but with extended versatility reading the most commonly used tag protocols. The small form factor means ease of use, reduced operator strain and faster operation when in water. Walker Wands permit active monitoring of PIT tagged items within both terrestrial and aquatic environments. This Walker Wand even monitors water/air temperature during surveys!

Walker Wands comprise a metal and plastic ergonomic boom construction, with a PE custom build articulated search head. The top of the operator boom has a rubber hand grip and arm support to reduce fatigue during use and is operated single handed. The search head is 240mm and is fully tuned giving a read range of >300mm. The search head is waterproof and suitable for scanning in water for fish as well as use in terrestrial environments. The smaller size means the Walker Wand is very easily transported in a small car to site.

The Walker Wand 125/24MPGPS is a complete with a detachable head unit which can be connected to our HDX and FDX antennae. The head unit is powered by external battery source and features a large OLED screen for ease of reading,  providing information on location, GPS, time and date, as well as tag ID and tag protocol. Both the Walker Wand antennae and the power source are connected via IP69 cable plugs which also allow other antenna to be used in a passive monitoring situation. The power is via our WMD battery system or you can use your own. The very low current draw means extended operating run-time on a single battery and smart technology turns off features during remote passive monitoring to further reduce power consumption. Compatible with the HDX and FDX PIT tag protocol. Note, the 125/24MPGPS is fully telescopic.
