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, 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.
It is powered by an AC adapter that plugs into a standard
electrical outlet. The membrane keypad on the
receiver/dialer is dustproof.
NOTE:
To use EquiFone, you must have at least 2 telephone numbers
available. One for EquiFone to call out on, and another one for
EquiFone to call to. EquiFone cannot call the same
telephone number that it is connected to.
A typical installation would be:
The receiver/dialer is plugged into a land line phone jack or the
Wireless Terminal , and it
calls a cellular or other phone to alert the breeder, when the
mare lies in the foaling position.
If
you do not have a land line you may be able to use our Wireless
Terminal described below.
Transmitter
 The transmitter 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 8 - 10 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.
The 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 4G base station mobile phone. It enables
connection of landline 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. The Wireless Terminal will operate world
wide. You must provide a SIM card for it.
You can purchase a "pay as you go" SIM card from several
vendors on-line or from your cell phone
provider.
Transmission 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
The appropriate power
adapter/plug (120 - 240 volts - 50 - 60 Hz) will be shipped
at no extra charge for the USA, UK, Australia, and Europe.
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.
