Serial Numbers

All transmitters are identified by a serial number stamped in the metal battery compartment near the plastic/stainless steel contact.

NOTE: When calling DCI Customer Service be prepared to supply the serial number.

Specifications

The specifications given below assume the use of the latest model (Mark III) of the DigiTrak Receiver. All Mark III Transmitters operate at a frequency of approximately 33 kHz. Pitch updates occur every 2.5 sec- onds, and roll updates occur every 0.25 second. All transmitters revert to sleep mode after 15 minutes except the cabletransmitters, which are turned off by disconnecting the above-ground battery source. All transmitters also transmit information regarding transmitter temperature and estimated battery life remaining.
