Installation Notes

Problems and Considerations (May 2020)

  • Sensor Height – mount at same height or greater (15.04’).
    • Cantilever arm must be level and static.
    • Mount out over center of ditch if possible.
  • RSSI issues – must be kept at same height for best RSSI.
  • Access issues – field adjacent to ditch is often saturated, access to site by foot.
    • Cannot reach transmitter to change batteries without taking the post down, shouldn't have to take post down to access transmitter.
    • Position of post adjacent to the ditch is awkward and unsafe when using a ladder to try and access sensor.
    • Could move the location closer to 124th St for better vehicle access.
  • Sensing Cone Issues – the cone of detection is very wide at the ground level.
    • Be sure sensor mounted out from the post by at least 24” (radius of cone at ground level).
    • Problems with flood debris getting caught on post and being detected within the cone even after flood waters recede.
