Tips to help establish a connection
•
Try attaching the Yagi to a 3.5 meter pole. Field tests show that the stability of the
Yagi mounted on the pole plus the added elevation help achieve a connection at a
greater distance. The added elevation allows for the Yagi to gain a better line of
sight by being above common obstacles.
•
Once you have located your GPS, if possible, try and move around the GPS until
you gain a line of sight.
•
The higher the elevation, in comparison to your GPS, the easier it will be to
establish a line of sight in many cases.
•
Try a few different attempts in the same spot before moving on. Sometimes you
need to cancel and attempt and start over in order to achieve the connection.
Possible causes for failed connection when conditions are ideal
•
The Base Station does need to be charged regularly. After enough use the base
station will appear to have a charge, but would not have enough power to handle
the range needed to make a reasonable wireless connection. A base station under
3.8V will begin to be a lot less likely to make a remote connection. Always fully
charge the Base Station before entering the field.
•
If the GPS has no battery remaining then it will not be able to send out a wireless
signal. If you are close to the scheduled end of your deployment this may be the
case.
•
Double check that you are using the correct collar address. You may find the
complete list of your GPS units and addresses on the packing list that was shipped
with your order. If you are in need of a replacement list, email
.
•
If the animal is lying on the UHF antenna it may be absorbing most of the signal,
preventing you from achieving a connection.
•
If the unit or antennas have been damaged by the animal or the environment, it
may be difficult or even impossible to remote connect to the unit.
