Just wow a cellphone, heh. Looks like a nice set. I bought just the run of the mill collar when I was doing some training to prevent some problems(car chasing).
How fast does the collar recharge(capacitor charge time)?
I thought I'd try out the collar myself and put the setting on 4, big mistake... anyway I tested the collar on 1, and the charge time was about 10-20 seconds for a decent shock, more if I wanted a full shock. Inside the units is a large capacitor which is why I'm asking.
Yes, I'm one of those people who try everything on myself first. You can go ahead and picture a short guy going "*ow* 10 seconds pass *ow* *repeat*
David..... What the heck are you talking about? 10 seconds before a correction is administered? Are you talking about a BARK collar? Your post makes no sense.
I understand you want to test a collar on yourself, but if you bought one that doesn't respond for 10 seconds, then you got ripped off. Go to Tri-Tronics or Dogtra and get a reliable collar. Anyway, let us know what the heck you're talking about.
Most collars get charged and hold that charge for some time. You shouldn't have to hold a button to charge the collar for a correction on your dog. Any way I will wait til you respond, cause your post is very confusing.
batt--->couple resistors and stuff --->capacitor which holds charge-->circuit board---->contacts
capacitors gradually charge, they don't instantly charge. Esp when using some funky battery or any standard battery. It hurts less unless I wait for the capacitors to charge. It still hurts, just not as much. I cranked it to 4 only because I didn't feel anything. I thought maybe 1 was just to the point I couldn't feel anything.. *wrong* :P I only know how the collar works because I took it apart.
I'm sure there are different designed collars, which have less of a charge time. I just don't like the collar I currently own since it seems the charge time is rather longer than I expected.
I don't know what kind of collar you have, but any decent collar will deliver corrections as fast as you can press the button. For example, the Dogtra I have will give a 0.5 second momentary correction pretty much every 0.6 seconds. There is lockout on most collars that prevent an accidental correction lasting longer than 10-12 seconds.
Modern units are not capacitively discharged. I'd be surprised if any units were ever built that are capacitively discharged. They are high frequency/high voltage generators. They do not require any capacitor charging to operate.
well I've been looking for a better collar anyway. I wouldn't be surprised if the collar I have is cheaply made. I don't know which would be the best to get for a highly active dog with tons of fur though, has to be a collar with long posts.
The Dogtra's all come with 5/8" contacts. I just ordered a set of 1" contacts (the only intermediate choice is 3/4", i.e. 6/8"). I suspect I've got the furry dog problem and will let you know how I make out with the 1" contacts when I get them (probably in about a week or so).
