Transponder T3
The T3 transponder is an ultrasonic transmitter/receiver that communicates
with the Vertex III instrument. The T3 transponder can be used both for direct
measuring (60º), and in 360º when used with the “360 adapter” – for example
when working in circular sample plots.
The T3 is equipped with an audible signal that tells if the transponder is
activated or not.
The T3 has no switch and the Vertex and/or DME is used as a remote
control to turn off and on. When turned on, the T3 Transponder stays
activated for app. 20 minutes.
T3 uses 1 alkaline 1,5 voltage AA battery placed under the battery lid.
To measure in a 360
circle with the transponder, the T3 is
attached to the adapter. The adapter spreads and receives the
ultrasound in a full circle. The adapter can be mounted onto the
custom plot center staff.
