Quantum 4000 - Wildlife tracking GPS collars and GPS backpacks utilizing basic and reliable store-on-board technology.

Our Quantum 4000 may be your choice when you need a store-on-board GPS collar or backpack and only require basic GPS location data, a VHF transmitter for tracking and temperature data. This store-on-board only device has very flexible user programming and is available in standard or custom designs. It may be configured as either a backpack or a collar. The entire electronic device without the battery is 25 mm. x 25 mm. x 10 mm and weighs a mere 9 grams. Our lightest Quantum 4000 is 20 grams total weight and we offer several models under 100 grams. We also have large Quantum 4000 collars available.

The GPS data logger is user programmable and programming features include your choice of interval or template programming. This means that you can either simply set an interval at which the GPS will turn on/off or you can create up to 26 different daily program scenarios whereby the GPS will turn on/off at different times in the day. You then program the days in the year with your different templates. Another programming feature is the GPS additional time feature whereby you may program the GPS data logger to remain on after a location is acquired. By forcing the GPS to remain on after a location is acquired the accuracy of the position will be increased. You also set the limit for this GPS additional time so that battery life is not adversely affected.

The Quantum 4000 also includes a temperature sensor. A drop off mechanism is optional for most applications. Standard Quantum 4000 models are equipped with a mortality sensor.

Although a VHF transmitter is included in The Quantum 4000, the GPS device is made independently of the VHF transmitter. The VHF transmitter has its own power source and is always on, there is no need for you to program the VHF transmitter. And the transmitter will always have a longer battery life than the GPS.

For some of the larger battery choices the 6100 position memory may be a limitation. If you already have a VHF receiver and antenna there is nothing else to purchase other than the Quantum 4000. Programming software is provided at no charge.
