3.2 SITE REQUIREMENTS
When deciding on a location to install your device it is important to understand how it operates.
The system uses electromagnetic radio waves to communicate with the individual satellites
that are part of a nano-satellite constellation. The device antenna facilitates the transmission
and reception of these radio waves. The device calculates when these orbiting satellites will be
transmitting through the section of sky visible to the device antenna and transmits the messages
accordingly.
The system is not in contact with the satellites at all times; data is transmitted when the
satellites are in view of the device. Therefore, the device must have a clear line of sight to as
much sky as possible, in all directions, to maximise transmission opportunities.

3.1 TOOLS REQUIRED
Before you head out to site, ensure you have the following tools which are not supplied with
the product.
Your phone with the app installed. The
app can add a device without relying on
Wi-Fi or cellular coverage. It has an ‘Offline
mode’ and will automatically establish a
connection once coverage is restored.
4 x 12 or 14 gauge tech screws, or the
screws that are appropriate for the
material you are mounting to.
A drill with a 25mm (1 inch) hole saw or
drill bit.
Measuring tape (to measure your tank)
Ladder
Zip ties (optional)
**Additional tools may be required which are specific to the installation site**
The device must have a clear line of
sight to as much of the sky as possible
with no obstructions in all directions,
this will maximise satellite transmission
opportunities.
