Mark IV Automatic Coded Wire Tag Injector
The Mark IV Automatic Tag Injector (MKIV) was developed to handle millions of cycles
of tag injections. The tags, which come in continuous wire form on a spool, are
automatically cut off, magnetized and injected through a hollow needle. The operator
then verifies that the specimen contains a tag by dropping the specimen through a
Quality Control Device (QCD) where it flows through a tag
detection
tunnel. If a QCD is
not available, the magnetic tag can be verified by using any of the detectors NMT
makes for that purpose.

the MKIV Injector is about 18 pounds (8.2 kg) in weight, 10 inches (25.4 cm) wide,
10 inches (25.4 cm) high and 12 inches (30.5 cm) deep
the Power Supply, Tool Kit, Touch Switch and 3 non-custom Head Molds are
supplied with the unit; a hard transit case and other accessories are available
through NMT
The MKIV Injector is constructed of the highest quality materials; it is easily
programmed from the keyboard and can mark 600-800 fish per hour
the MKIV Injector can inject half length (0.5 mm), standard length (1.1 mm), one
and
a half length (1.65 mm) or double length (2.2 mm) tags
the MKIV Injector can be used with either a Head Mold to position the specimen or
a
needle support tube for freehand tagging
the MKIV Injector operates on 12-28 volts DC (about 50 watts)--the Power Supply
converts 120 volts AC to the appropriate DC voltage; international customers should
request a custom Power Supply
the MKIV Injector carries NMT's standard warranty and can be purchased or
rented
