Example permissible site installation:
obscured sky view below 30° of device
horizon line
Example improved site installation: use of
elevation for an improved sky view
Example poor site installation: obscured sky
view and restricted transmission
Satellite passes below a 30° angle to
the horizon have a lower probability of
transmission, therefore obstacles within this
angle of the device are not preferred but are
permissable (see the diagram).
The mounting pole has been used to raise
the device above the obstructions around
the tank and enable an uninterrupted
view of the sky above 30° degrees in all
directions. This will maximise transmission
opportunities for the device.
Placing the device in any of the above situations may restrict or prohibit successful transmissions.
Avoid placing the device in the
following locations:
⚫
Under or near tall trees or dense foliage
⚫
Close to buildings
⚫
Near metal or concrete structures
⚫
At the bottom of deep canyons or valleys
⚫
In close proximity to buildings, fences,
poles or other structures
⚫
In a mounted position that is at risk of
flooding or submersion
⚫
In close proximity to sources of RF
interference such as high voltage power
lines, mobile phone towers or radio towers
⚫
Underneath or in close proximity to solar
panels, weather stations or any other type
of equipment that may share a mounting
post/mast with the device.
