Performance
The 701 Pendant transmitter is designed to operate over short distances, the actual range
depends on the receiver aerial and the nature of the receiving path. As a reference, the 701
pendant transmitter /7500r receiver gives a range in excess of 300 meters over flat, open
ground: the following multipliers should assist range estimates.
Path Factor
Open, line-of-sight 1
Open, obscured path 0.3-0.9
Built-up area 0.2-0.5
In building (brick) 1.0-0.3
In building (reinforced concrete) 0.05-0.3
In tunnels 0.05-2
Battery Life
The 701Transmitters are powered by lithium-manganese-dioxide batteries, which are
designed to give at least 20,000 operating cycles, or 3 years life if used twice per day.
The battery is permanently soldered to the transmitter and is not designed to be changed by
the user.
