Set Up
There are two ways to run a Event Kit with the Multi Sensor and the RF-100 - autonomously
with battery or with LAN connection. In this chapter you can read, what to consider for the
positioning of the Dedrone sensors and how to setup the Event Kit for both scenarios.
4.1
Choose the Position of the RF-100
The position of the RF-100 has strong impacts to the detection range. For an ideal result the
location should fulfil the following conditions:
□
clear view over the area
□
elevated position (minimum 3 m)
Select a secure installation location and mounting position for the device. Ideally, this is a
location where the device cannot be interfered with, either intentionally or accidentally.
Ensure that the location has the appropriate clearance from power and lightning conductors,
in accordance with NEC725 and NEC800 (CEC Rule 16-224 and CEC Section 60). Do not install
the device near the following object:
•
Any excessive heat sources
•
Any overhead power lines, power circuits, or electrical lights, or where there is a chance
of electrical discharge.
•
Behind metal surfaces or vaporized glass, this could have negative affects to the range
Orientation
The orientation of the device itself does not have any effect for the performance. Important
for a good result is the orientation of the antenna. Both antenna should be orientated
skywards.
