3. Activation Procedure
The Coyote UGS node is now ready for activation. The activation procedure should be performed in the field at
the physical location of the placed sensor node. Once the node has been activated, it will begin actively
searching for a GPS lock and record this position as its buried location.
3.1. Activation Steps
The activation steps require no additional equipment or tooling.
1) The first step is to hold the Coyote UGS node flat and hold this position for 3 seconds.
2) The second step is to rotate the Coyote UGS node 90 degrees to the NORTH* and hold this position for
3 seconds.
3) The third step is to rotate the Coyote UGS node 180 degrees to the SOUTH and hold this position for 3
seconds.
4) The last step is to return the Coyote UGS node to a flat position and hold this for 3 seconds.
* Note – The NORTH bearing is relative to the “N” arrow on top of Coyote UGS housing
The Coyote Activation Field Guide lists these steps and is accompanied by images of the Coyote UGS nodes
for ease of use in the field. This can be seen in Figure 4.
