Features:
- Optical activity detection for small animals
- Uses invisible infrared light
- Highly sensitive
- Fixed or moveable detector and emitter
- Voltage output for easy data acquisition
- Very low power consumption
The AD-2 activity detector uses a diffuseinfrared beam to monitor changes in postion. It is available with a fixed, reflective detector (model AD-2) or with a probe pair that can be placed in any orientation, for either direct or reflected infrared light. This versatile optically based motion detector is ideal for creating and index of activity or for monitoring specific areas for activity.Features:
- Non-invasive activity detection
- Compatible with most chambers or cages
- Use for animals from 10g to 2000gr
- Voltage output equals objective activity index
The MAD-1 activity detector is a versatile motion detector designed for mouse to squirrel sized animals in chambers and cages. Any movement by the animal in the cage or chamber placed on the MAD-1 causes a shift in the balance between sensitive force transducers, creating a signal that is a non-invasive index of activity.
