3.3 General preparations

CAUTION: Water filled holes in the

lawn can cause damage to the

installation.

Make a blueprint of the work area and

include all obstacles. This makes it easier to

examine where to put the charging station,

the

product has operated for some time.

3.4 To examine where to put the

reference station

CAUTION: If there is a lightening rod

near by, do not install the reference

station higher than the lightening rod.

Install the reference station in a high open

position with free view to the sky to receive

sufficient satellite signals. Install the

reference station at minimum 1.5 m / 5 ft.

height. Recommended height is 2.5 m / 8 ft.

Note: On the northern hemisphere there are

more satellites in a southerly direction.

Install the reference station on a post or a

wall. It is recommended to install the

reference station on a post that is attached

on a roof top or similar. The post must be

3.5-5.5 cm / 1.4-2.2 in. in diameter to fit the

attachments on the reference station.

Note: If the reference station is installed on a

wall the top of the reference station must be

above the wall. There must be no metal in

the wall.
