POWER
The Long Range Active Marker is delivered with a battery pack, which
contains a rechargeable LI-ION battery. When the POWER/BATT LOW
LED flashes red, it is time to charge the battery. The charging time for an
empty battery is about 3 hours and 30 minutes. The control box can also
be powered by any 12VDC power supply.
PERFORMANCE
• The Long Range Active Marker can be used with frequencies from 1 to
200Hz. The marker will not work correctly above 200 Hz.
• The maximum triggering distance for the IR eye is at least 100 m.
• When the control box is operated on battery power, it will enter standby
mode after 30 seconds (power LED flashes green) and shut itself down
automatically after 6 hours to save battery.
• The continuous operation with 4 markers at 100 Hz is 9 hours with the
supplied battery pack. Other operation times can be calculated from
frequency and the number of markers connected to the control box.
