TABLE 2-2 GroundAware™ System/Sub-System Block Diagram
Installation
The GroundAware™ system is very easy to install and prepare for configuration and
operation. As illustrated briefly in previous sections, installation falls into three
fundamental phases: mechanical, electrical, and data.
Mechanical installation of the system includes mounting the unit such that it is
horizontally level and perpendicular to the center point of the area to be monitored. The
unit includes carrying handles on each side to aide in the recommended two-person
emplacement of the system.
