Description
WMD Walker Wand 125/20. A highly mobile, lightweight and small form factor mobile PIT tag scanning wand with extended read ranges.
The ability to be able to detect tags in an active way is extremely useful where fate of lost/missing tags, animals and/or fish are important to be determined. When used in faster rivers and streams in order to reduce operator strain and fatigue we developed the Walker Wand 125/20, and it’s larger cousin the 125/24, for precisely these purposes. The same principle applies to monitoring passive cobble transport in Geomorphological studies and assessments. When used in faster rivers and streams in order to reduce operator strain and fatigue we developed the Walker Wand 125/20 for precisely these purposes. The smaller form factor means easier to use, less operator strain and faster movement when used in water. Walker Wands permit active monitoring of PIT tagged items within both terrestrial and aquatic environments.
Walker Wands comprise a metal and plastic boom construction, extendable and ergonomic, 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 200mm and is fully tuned giving a read range of >580mm and a search radius of 900mm. The search head is waterproof and suitable for scanning in water for fish. The smaller size means they are very easily transported in a small car to site and also suitable for terrestrial monitoring too.
The Walker Wand 125/20 is a headless unit which can be connected to our HDX Field units or via our Mobile reader with integral battery which are usually carried in a backpack. The very low current draw means extended operating run-time on a single battery. Compatible with the HDX PIT tag protocol. The 125/20 Walker Wand is also compatible with both models of on boom clip-on external flasher information modules, the M1 (LEDs [IP67]) or the M2 (LEDs plus buzzer [IP5X]) available separately, for real time information whilst tag searching.
Note: The Walker Wand 125/20 is not length adjustable.
