| > Model 490LP Acoustic Tag Programmer |
 |
|
| |
The Model 490 Acoustic Tag Programmer permits the user to program the Model 795 Acoustic Tag in the field. To activate, the tag is placed within the programmer’s magnetic coil. The programmer then sets an internal "switch" inside the tag allowing it to receive settings and begin transmission of the tag's signal. The tag requires TagProgrammer software to be running on a Windows™-based computer.
We also recommend using an oscilloscope (oscope). The oscope makes it easy to verify the tag has been successfully programmed. All acoustic tag settings are easily managed within the TagProgrammer software.

> Model 491 In-Fish Acoustic Tag Programmer |
|
| |
HTI's Model 491 In-Fish Acoustic Tag Programmer activates and programs HTI Model 795 Acoustic Tags after surgical implantation (or gastrical insertion) into the fish. This programmer is used in conjunction with HTI's standard Model 490LP Acoustic Tag Programmer and a laptop computer. After a fish is tagged, it is allowed to recover from handling and surgery. It is then placed inside the clear acrylic tube filled with ambient water and passed through a magnetic coil to activate the tag immediately prior to release. This extends the life of the acoustic tag battery (compared to the usual activation of a transmitter at time of implantation), providing greater flexibility for field studies. |

> Model 492 Acoustic Tag Detector |
|
|
|
| |
The Model 492 Acoustic Tag Detector is used to verify at close ranges that a tag (alone or in a fish) is successfully transmitting. The unit verifies a tag’s pulse repetition interval (i.e. rep rate) by observing an LED light which flashes at the same interval as the pulse interval programmed for that tag. It’s powered by an internal
9 volt battery and signals when the battery reaches a low charge condition. A small probe at the end of a cable is placed in the water to detect the tag's transmit signal. |
