AirWarden™ Installation Guidelines Introduction This document provides guidelines for installing AirWarden Sensors. For detailed sensor specifications and cable requirements, and which installation components need to be supplied by the installer, please see the Sensor Spec Sheet. Installation Locations The installation locations will be provided in the Site Survey. The site survey will contain a description, aerial map, and photos of the installation location for each sensor.
AirWarden™ Installation Guidelines Installation Diagram Antenna All antennas at the site must be mounted within a 10ft height of each other. Lightning Arrester Connects directly to antenna Antenna Cable Pole Max length 45ft. All sensors at the site must have the same length antenna cable. A pole raises the antenna so it is clear of obstructions. Sensor Box Network Cable CAT 5 or CAT 6 (Ethernet) or fiber network infrastructure. Power Cable © 2020 AeroDefense | AeroDefense.
AirWarden™ Installation Guidelines Antennas and Lightning Arresters • • • • • • • • Mount antennas on a pole on a rooftop so they have a free unobstructed line of site to the environment/coverage area in as many directions as possible, including down (fiberglass is not an obstruction, only metal structures). All antennas at the site should be mounted at the same height +/- 5 ft. Antennas can be mounted on poles to achieve this. The maximum cable run between sensor box and antenna is 45ft (LMR-400).
AirWarden™ Installation Guidelines Sensor Boxes • • • Mounting: Sensor Box should be mounted in a secure location, if possible (e.g., in an access controlled area). The mounting flange allows it to be wall mounted on a flat surface or to a metal framing system as shown in Figure 1. Network: Sensor boxes require network connectivity Power: Sensor boxes require a stable source of power (120V or 12-36V DC) plus ground, and a backup power source.
AirWarden™ Installation Guidelines GPS Coordinates AeroDefense will need to know the precise location of each sensor’s antenna to ensure optimal performance of the system. While standing at the sensor, using a handheld GPS device, or Smart Phone (see How to get GPS coordinates on a Smart Phone in this document) record the GPS coordinates on the Installation Form. Spare SDR Card with Velcro SDR cards are located inside the sensor box.
AirWarden™ Installation Guidelines Test Considerations Detection Tests Detection Tests will involve turning on a controller or a drone and controller, depending on the device used. Wi-fi drones are not appropriate to use for this.

AirWarden™ Installation Guidelines iii. Press ‘cnt+x’ iv. Press ‘y’ v. Press enter 4. Enter 'sudo update-grub' 5. Enter 'sudo reboot' 6. After computer responds to ping hard power cut for ≈3 minutes 7. Log into sensor 8. Go back to step 2 9. Start sensor via UI 10. Check UI for sensor error 10 minutes after completing step 9 How to Reconnect an SDR Card If a configuration fails, the installer will need to disconnect and reconnect the USB cables that connect the Computer to each of the SDR cards. 1.
AirWarden™ Installation Guidelines To manually set the IP address of a sensor, an installer will need the following: • • • VGA Monitor with power cord and VGA Cable Wireless USB Keyboard with Touchpad (or USB keyboard and USB mouse) List of IP addresses for each sensor Set IP Address Procedure 1. Log into the User Account (if you log into the temporary guest account all configuration changes will be erased upon logging out). Password will be provided by AeroDefense. 2.
