Laying Out the Equipment

5 Attach the antenna to the WRU or BSU. Ensure that the antenna connection is

clean, and the antenna is snug and does not wobble.

2.5.3 Placing the WRU in the Field

This section describes the process to ready the ground equipment for interaction

with the central recording system (deployment).

To deploy the WRU:

1 Prerequisites:

TIP

When determining which antenna to use (5 dBi, 7 dBi, 9dBi), consider

the distance between WRUs, and how much vegetation is in the area.

For distances of 10 m to 30 m, use a 5 dBi antenna.

Distances of 30 m or greater, use a 7 dBi antenna.

For sudden elevation changes, such as cliffs, use a 2 dBi or 5 dBi

antenna.

In special situations such as tall grass and dense vegetation, or

distances of 55 m or greater, use a 9 dBi antenna.
