Ferret Finder

AN UNDERGROUND LOCATION SYSTEM DESIGNED FOR FERRETS

 

Rapid Location

 

The upgraded Ferret Finder 3 kit features a low profile transmitting collar and a receiver with a ‘search’ and ‘locate’ LED display and varying pitch sounder. The 10 LED display indicates distance from the ferret and a varying pitch sounder increases in pitch, as the receiver approaches the collar.

 

A range of 16 feet coupled with improved extra sensitive close-up accuracy means the new Ferret Finder 3 is more flexible than ever. In search mode the working range is up to 16ft (5m) and in the locate mode the working range is reduced to 8ft (2.5m) for ultra-accurate, ‘close-in’ location.

 

Improved Performance - Improved Reliability

 

The unique receiver circuit is designed both to detect the signal transmitted by the collar and to reject interference from elsewhere. The receiver has magnetic reed switches (no moving parts for improved reliability) which operate the on/off facility and a search/locate facility. Ultra-Efficient Electronic Circuitry means improved collar battery life of over 300 hours.

 

Ferret Finder 3 can be used to locate more than one ferret - simply purchase additional collars.

 

The receiver can be purchased in Graphite/Grey or High Visibility Orange/Graphite

TT - Technical Specifications

Bellman and Flint have combined the knowledge gained from years of experience with world leaders in location transmitter electronics. This has enabled us to produce a product which incorporates revolutionary, state of the art features specifically for location.

 

Range: Maximum depth - Approximately 15m ( 50' ). Depending on soil conditions. Maximum Distance - Approximately 60m ( 198' ).Example: Transmitter is 3m ( 9 feet ) to ground and the receiver is approximately 50m ( 165 foot) from the mark. Screen will show 50m and a directional arrow.

 

 

 

Transmit field: The signal can be received from any direction. Ie: Above, below or from the side. Transmit field strength is constant over the entire battery lifetime.

 

 

 

Specification: Frequency: 457khz. To +20 degrees centigrade Transmit power:1.8 mA / m.

 

 

 

Battery Type: CR2 3V Lithium photo battery. High performance in extreme temperatures: - 20 degrees Celsius to +60 degrees Celsius. Readily available.

 

 

 

Battery life: 90 hours on constantly. Over 90 hours when used in intervals of 2 û6 hours. Times are approximate and may vary depending on battery manufacturer.

 

 

 

Switch: Internal magnetic On / Off switch. Allows the transmitter collar to be turned on and off without removing the battery. Hand held swipe magnet supplied. The battery will not discharge when the transmitter is turned off.

 

 

 

Battery change: Four screws open the casing to allow access to the battery.

 

 

 

LED: 2 LED Lights ( green and red ). Visible through the casing. Flashing Green light indicates that the collar is on and transmitting. Red and Green together indicates 20 hours of battery life remaining. Red alone indicates approximately 10 hours remaining. ( Change battery ).

 

 

 

Casing: Industrial Polycarbonate. Ergonomically designed to minimise snagging and holding. Shockproof and waterproof. With integral loop. Size at largest points: 3" x 1.5" x 1.5". This is slightly larger than older systems, but has huge benefits in terms of signal strength and distance, as well as vastly increased battery life.

 

 

 

The Pieps DSP receiver has been recently developed using state of the art technology for the location and rescue of avalanche and landslide victims. The design of the receiver, its ease of use in stressful conditions, and the manufacturing quality are of the highest standards because it is a life saving device. Bellman and Flint have chosen the Pieps DSP to use with our specially designed transmitter due to its revolutionary specifications. The device is enhanced with the latest DSP technology ( = signal processing with a digital signal processor ). It is the only unit currently available which incorporates three antennas, enabling triangulation of the transmitter collar signal. This gives incredible accuracy of distance and depth.

 

 

 

Maximum Range: 60 metres, 195 feet ( digital evaluation ).

 

 

 

Transmission Frequency: 457 khz ( international standard frequency ).

 

 

 

Power Supply: 3 batteries, alkaline ( AAA ). IEC-LR03, 1.5 volt. Readily available.

 

 

 

Battery lifetime: Minimum 200 hours in Send mode. Screen shows remaining battery life percentage.

 

 

 

Temperature Range: - 20 degrees Celsius to + 45 degrees. Weight: 198g ( including batteries ).

 

 

 

Dimensions ( LxWxH ): 116 x 75 x 27mm

 

 

 

Battery change: One screw opens battery housing.

 

 

 

Screen: Shows distance in digital figures from 60m to 10cm. Only available in metric. To convert to feet multiply by 3 or read as yards. eg: 3m = 9' or 3 yards. Five arrows indicate the direction of the transmitter. ( Straight on, Left & Right ). Automatic backlighting in poor light conditions.

 

 

 

Acoustic beeper which changes frequency between 2m and 10cm. Symbol on screen indicates if more than one transmitter is activated.

 

 

 

Casing: Brightly coloured for visibility. Shockproof and waterproof. Supplied with a nylon case and belt loop. 5 year guarantee.

 

 

The TT system - A revolutionary new development

 

 

 

The Locator Box has a fully digital screen with arrows to show the direction of the transmitter and numbers which indicate the distance in metres. You do not have to be above the transmitter to get a signal. Simply turn it on and follow the arrows: move in the indicated direction, as the numbers decrease – you are getting closer.

 

 

 

¨ Extremely accurate ¨ Range from 60 metres to 10cm ( 195 feet to 4 inches ) ¨ Waterproof ¨ 5 year guarantee ¨ 200 hour battery life ¨ Batteries readily available ¨ Automatically backlit screen ¨ Full after sales service ¨ Integral transmitter enables the box to be found if lost

 

 

 

Simply turn the transmitter on with the supplied magnet, and it is ready to go. During over 150 tests bales, drains and earths, performance and reliability have been outstanding.

 

 

 

¨ 60 metre to 20cm range ( 195 feet to 4 inches ) ¨ 100 hour battery life ¨ Magnetic On / Off switch ¨ Waterproof – no need for tape ¨ LED lights indicate On / Off and remaining battery life ¨ Industrial polycarbonate casing ¨ Simple battery change ¨ One year guarantee ¨ Batteries readily available ¨ All parts can be bought separately ¨ Full after sales and advice service

No competition here B&F no question

[Guest DeeD]

i know the mk3 has come in for a bit of stick but ive used it for the terriers and its worked ok, ive a mate and hes been using the mk2 since oct and hes hasent failed to locate the dog yet with it, only prob he has with it is the collar batterys dont last long

 

Everybody i've talked to about it doesn't like it

 

We've had no problems with the MK3 either.

 

We used the MK2 last season and to the middle of this season and the only problem we had with it was the battery life.

 

The only thing i don't like about it is the collar, Deben should have made it out of stronger plastic.

i have for couple days my new locator, tt transmiter by ortovox + mammut analogue/digital barryobox and it s work superbly, batt. 300hrs, range 80m to 30cm, price less than 200pounds. same as B&F but for less money.

[rob reynolds uk 3]

ater seeing the b&f in action i think i will stick with the old style box as i can pin point my dog no probs
