What is EquiFone?
Most expectant mares will lie completely prone before and during the
foaling process. EquiFone was designed to detect when the mare
is lying in the foaling position, and alert the breeder via
telephone to help insure that someone is in attendance during foal
delivery.
How does EquiFone work?
The
EquiFone system is composed of a transmitter and a receiver/dialer.
The transmitter is placed in a small pouch, which is then attached
to the mares halter. When the mare lies in the foaling
position for over 10 seconds, the transmitter sends a signal to the
receiver/dialer. The receiver/dialer is a microcomputer telephone
dialing system that calls 1 - 4 pre-stored telephone numbers and
transmits a pre-recorded message to alert the breeder to the fact
that the mare is lying in the foaling position
Receiver/Dialer
The receiver/dialer receives the signal from the transmitter
on the mare when she lies in the foaling position. It then
dials all of the pre-stored telephone numbers and plays a
pre-recorded message to each as they are
answered.
The receiver/dialer is
placed in an indoor area, and connects to a standard phone jack or
the Wireless Terminal. It is powered by an AC
adapter that plugs into a standard electrical outlet. The membrane
keypad on the receiver/dialer is dustproof.
Transmitter
The
ttransmitter is powered by a 9 volt battery. It is inserted into an
adjustable pouch that is attached to the rings on the sides of
the mares halter, and it hangs under the head just forward of the
throatlatch area.
When the mare lies flat out in the
foaling position the transmitter sends a signal to the
receiver/dialer.. There is a built in delay of 10 - 12 seconds
before the transmitter sends the signal to the receiver/dialer
to prevent false alarms in the event the mare just lies down and
gets up again. The mare (including miniature horses)
does not realize she has the transmitter on.Our transmitter
mounts on the mare in the throatlatch area. Mounting it in
this manner prevents it from getting wet when the mare drinks and
from getting hung up on water buckets and feeders which can result
in false alarms.
There is no limit to
the number of transmitters that can be used simultaneously with one
receiver/dialer.
Wireless Terminal
The Wireless Teminal is a base station mobile phone.
It enables connection of land line devfices such as the
EquiFone system, a telephone handset, fax machines, etc.
It transmits using the mobile phone networks. Being completely
wireless, the Wireless Terminal is used in those sutiations where a
land line is not available. It requires an AT&T
compatible SIM
card. We provide a SIM card from H2O Wireless to
USA
purchasers. It can be activated with a "pay as you go'"
option.
Transmitter Range
The distance for transmission from
the transmitter on the mare, to the receiver/dialer is up to 500
feet. Transmission strength is enhanced by having a clear line
of site between the transmitter and the receiver/dialer.
Additional features
EquiFone
will work for any size/type horse. The only difference between
horse sizes is the length of the straps that connect the transmitter
pouch to the mares halter.
