YAWL

Debut YAWL is a customizable series engineered to accommodate diverse transmission types, batteries, solarunits, wet/dry switch options, and deployment methods, tailored to meet the unique needs of your species andprojects. Originally crafted with penguins and other sea birds in mind, it is with a flat-shape to facilitate diving
behaviors.
Debut YAWL series includes dozens of sub-models which are customized by our users. You can choose fromthem, or customize new sub-models to suit your project.

HOW IS A YAWL DEVICE BUILT?
A YAWL sub-model mainly consists of six parts: PCBA, battery, solar unit, housing, wet/dry switch, andattachment style. Below table lists the components available currently:

Component

Available Options

PCBA [1]NANO, MINI 2G, MINI 4G, MINI 5G, MINI LoRa, MINI Argos

Battery [2]40 mAh, 210 mAh, 400 mAh, 550 mAh

Solar Unit [3]1pcs, 2pc

Wet/Dry Switch [4]YES, NO

Attachment Style [5]Harness, Tesa-tape

Housing [6]C2, C2 Max, C2 Max E, C3 Max E, C4 Max, C5 Max[1]

The core electronic component, known as the Printed Circuit Board Assembly (PCBA), serves as thecentral nervous system of the device, dictating its primary functionalities. For instance, a YAWL sub-model
equipped with a NANO PCBA shares identical functionalities with the NANO model. However, it offers
flexibility in battery selection, solar options, housing variations, and the addition of supplementary features
such as a wet/dry switch or depth sensor.

[2]

Our standard battery options are all lithium polymer rechargeable battery, and users have the option tocustomize with alternative batteries based on their specific requirements.

[3]

YAWL series devices incorporate Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) solar units with a remarkable 30% efficiency,

ensuring optimal performance even in low-light conditions. Currently, we utilize the 17mm*16mm variant,with the option to include one or two units as per preference.

[4]

The optional "Wet/Dry Switch" enhances the functionality of YAWL sub-models, enabling the device to track

diving behaviors. Furthermore, devices equipped with this switch can be configured to conserve energy byhalting GPS signal transmission when submerged, thus avoiding unnecessary power consumption. Submodels lacking this feature are denoted with an "S".

[5]

Our attachment options consist of two types: harness and Tesa-tape. The harness type incorporates

specifically designed holes for threading, while the Tesa-tape attachment method includes a provided platefor ease of application, as illustrated in the end of this document.

[6]

The housing of our devices is tailored to accommodate various species. The "Max" designation indicates

ample space to house a MINI series PCBA and a battery exceeding 210mAh capacity. Conversely, the "E"
designation signifies a housing featuring an elevated solar panel, catering to larger birds with dense feathers
that may obstruct solar charging. Below are a few illustrative examples:2 / 6

OTHER SPECIFICATIONS
Item
Antenna Material

Description
Type A: 7*7 titanium alloy wires braided, with plastic tubing for protection(0.8mm diameter)

Type B: 7*7 steel wire braided, with plastic tubing for protection (1mmdiameter)(Select antennas materials based on animal behavioral characteristics. Type Afeatures better metal fatigue resistance so it suits for birds that will has thelong antenna dangling and swaying all the time, and type B is stronger against
cutting by sharp beak.)
Housing Material

3D printed housing, with multiple harness threading holes

Housing Color

White by default (other colors are available)

Waterproof

IP 68 (tested as being sub-merged 20cm underwater for 7 days)(For deep diving species, we can inject epoxy into the housing for furtherstrengthening.)

Working Temperature-20°C~60°C

ACCESSORIESYAWL series can be used for back-mount using harness, or with a plate to facilitate Tesa-tape attachment
which is typical for penguin, cormorant, and gannet, etc.

BACK-MOUNT
Each device will be provided along with 2 meters of 3.5mm or 5mm wide UHMWPE tape (for harness use)and 6 aluminum rings (for binding the harness) for free.

TESA-TAPE
If you choose the Tesa-tape type, a matching 3D-printed
plate will be provided. You can use Tesa-tape to fix the baseon animal body, and then push the main device into the slot
to complete the installation. The main device can be easily
removed and reused, as in this way it is not easily damaged
by Tesa-tape.
