Kilo User Manual Version 3.0

Deployment of the Kilo
The Kilo is intended for use on marine
flotation devices. It is important that the
top of the Kilo is located as high above the
surface of the water as possible. Both the
Iridium and GPS antennas are located at
the top of the unit. It is recommended
that users install Kilo on a mast or
superstructure at the top of their surface
buoy or flotation device.
Care should be taken when installing to
avoid putting metal bands close to the top
of the unit where the antennas are
located.
Alongside a wall or tall obstruction
will cause coverage to suffer.
Kilo should not be deployed near
(less than 1 metre) other
transmitters.
