User Tip
Many customers ask about sensor life, routine charging, and what to expect as the sensors age. Equinosis sensors are made with Lithium Polymer batteries currently manufactured by PowerStream. Lithium Polymer is a higher quality subset of a broader class of Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries. The component used has a specified life of 500 cycles - where after 500 cycles, greater than 70% of initial capacity is retained during laboratory testing conditions. However, in the field, “cycle” is an elusive term as it depends on several factors. And 500 is even more elusive as that is a lower specification limit. So, the average...

User Tip
Please be advised that some Generation 5 sensors may turn on differently than your other sensors, depending on the ship date of your original sensors. TO TURN THE SENSOR ON: wave/pass magnet near the Magnetic Switch until the Green LED starts to blink. TO TURN THE SENSOR OFF: HOLD the magnet STEADY in the same area for approximately 6 seconds.

What can be done if the right front pastern is not suitable for attaching the wrap and sensor – for instance on a horse with extremely irritated pastern dermatitis? Can the sensor be worn on a different limb or location on the right forelimb? A: The RF gyro signal indicates the timing of right forelimb stance, which is used as a reference point for all head and pelvic movement asymmetry calculations in the analysis. The gyro measures angular velocity associated with the movement of the pastern. REMINDER: Placement of the sensor in the NORMAL ORIENTATION (dorsal aspect, right side up) on...
