HIKOB AZURE LION Mounting procedure
The HIKOB AZURE LION is delivered ready to be installed, batteries are charged, so it is use-
able right away. As its emplacement is already determined by the site pre-study, the following
sections explain the mounting procedure itself, and recommendations for final adjustments.

the
HIKOB AZURE LION: use an elevating work platform, and appropri-
ate PPE. Once installed at heights, the HIKOB AZURE LION remains in
place, and is not reachable by unqualified staff.
4.2.1
Radio and exposure considerations: orienting well the router
From your elevated spot, you position the HIKOB AZURE LION to have a good radio cover-
age and enough radiation on its solar pannel:
– the radio antenna is located right behind the brand sign HIKOB engraved on the top
transparent lid. The radiation pattern are 2 flattened lobes in the direction of the solar
pannel plane: this determines the zone where emissions and receptions will be the most
effective, see figure.
– the best orientation for the solar pannel is where solar radiation is the most powerful,
and you have best results the whole year with a southern exposure and a 60° slant to
the horizontal line.
Figure 2: Orientation
For the best compromise, choose a good radio coverage rather than the best exposure for
the solar pannel: the HIKOB AZURE LION is designed to run with 1 hour of sunshine a day,
and is autonomous 2 mounths in total darkness.
