C) Installation of the TAON-X:
The TAON-X needs to be installed in the direct vicinity of the resting and/or feeding places of the animals on sand or at
wall or pole. Horses are especially curious animals and may want to nibble at the plastic hood. This needs to be avoided
at all times. If required protect the TAON-X to avoid this from happening. The numbers in the text below refer to the
numbers used in the exploded view drawings, which are placed in the back of this installation manual.
