G13H5R VB
Our absolute lightweight
The G13H5R VB is an ultra-light, rechargeable transmitter for tracking insects and was developed specifically for the Asian hornet (Vespa Velutina Nigrithorax). It transmits in the 148 and 150 MHz frequency range approved by the Network Agency, which enables long reception distances thanks to the comparatively low frequency. The transmitter has an eyelet for attachment, but can also be glued in place. It is currently the lightest rechargeable transmitter available from a European manufacturer.
The transmitter offers an operating time of at least five hours, enabling targeted tracking of insects. Its low weight ensures good flight performance, particularly for Vespa Velutina, as it is less affected by the transmitter. The transmitter is activated when it is removed from the charging station.
| Weight | Lifetime | Power | BpM | Pulse length |
| ≤ 0,13 g | ≥ 5 Stunden | ~ 100 µW | ~ 60 bpm | ~ 20 ms |
Charging Station
The charging station allows up to five transmitters to be charged simultaneously. The charging time is approx. 24 hours for an operating time of at least five hours. The transmitter battery is charged with low current to increase the battery life. The transmitters are deactivated in the charging station when the charging voltage is applied. The battery of the charging station can be easily replaced by the user.

Shipping time
The delivery time depends on when the order is placed. Early orders in the winter months are prioritised. Short-term orders in the summer half-year, during the season, usually meet with high demand while production capacities remain the same. Please contact us and we will find a solution.
Storage
Dry, dark and cool are the best storage conditions for our transmitters. The transmitters can easily last a year in the refrigerator. Please ensure that the environment is dry. Please do not store the transmitters in the freezer compartment, as freezing temperatures will damage the batteries.
Duration of storage
Our transmitters can be stored for up to one year under the right conditions (cool and dark). Exceptions to this are the G17D3 and the G19D4. Their recommended storage period is 6 months. These can be stored, but will lose their service life.
Autom. Telemetry
Our transmitters are suitable for a wide range of applications in the 150 MHz band. If the receiving systems record in the 150 MHz band, they should be compatible in principle. In individual cases, compatibility must be clarified with the manufacturer of the receiving system.
