Abstract:
1. A remote control system for animal training including a remote controller configured for use by a user and a training device worn by an animal to be trained, the remote controller and the training device configured to communicate with each other by radio frequency (RF) communication, the remote controller comprising: a stimulation mode selection button configured for selecting a kind and mode of stimuli to be applied to the animal, the stimuli including at least an electrical impulse stimulation; a volume control configured to set the level of electrical impulse stimulation to be applied to the animal, the volume control including a three-terminal potentiometer; a voltage-to-frequency converter configured to convert a voltage level set by the volume control to a corresponding frequency signal proportional to the voltage level; a RF communication circuitry configured to transmit signals including the kind and mode of stimuli and the level of electrical impulse stimulation to the training device through a transmitting antenna; and a microprocessor configured to receive and process inputs from the stimulation mode selection button and the voltage-to-frequency converter to produce the signals to be transmitted by the RF communication circuitry and control the RF communication circuitry.
