EQUIPAGE FOALING ALARM
CURRENTLY
UNAVALILABLE
What
is EquiPage?
Most expectant mares will lie completely prone before and during the
foaling process. EquiPage was designed to detect when the mare is
lying in the foaling position, and alert the breeder via a pager (beeper) to help insure that someone is
in attendance during foal delivery.
How
does EquiPage work?
The EquiPage system is composed of a transmitter, a repeater,
and a pocket pager.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 repeater, which in turn sends a signal
to the pocket pager. The pocket pager then beeps to alert the
breeder to the fact that the mare is lying in the foaling position.
Repeater
The repeater is placed in an
indoor area, such as a barn. It is powered by an AC adapter that
plugs into a standard electrical outlet. The repeater uses 2
antennas. One
is
used to receive the signal from the transmitter attached to the horse.
The other antenna attaches to the repeater by a 15 foot coaxial cable, and
is used to transmit the signal to the pocket pager.
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 repeater. The
repeater then
sends a signal to the pocket pager. There is a built in delay of 8 - 10 seconds before the transmitter sends
the signal to the repeater 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 repeater.
Pocket
Pager
The pocket pager is powered
by 2 AAA batteries. When the mare lies in the foaling position,
triggering an alarm signal, the pocket pager reacts with an
audible
beeping sound and the LED light will blink. The pocket pager performs
an automatic battery condition check when on and in the
stand-by-mode. If the batteries are low, the pager will beep twice
every few minutes. There
is no limit to the number of pocket pagers that can be used with one
repeater.

Transmission
Range
The distance for
transmission from the transmitter on the mare, to the repeater, is up to
500 feet. The distance for transmission from the repeater to the
pocket pager is up to 1 mile. Transmission strength is enhanced
by having a clear line of site.
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.
EquiPage
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.
Warranty
