For Technicians | AfiPass II Installation Guide
Positioning the Brackets
The parlor setup affects the antenna position and brackets required for installing the antennas.
The examples below provide a range
of bracket design and installation
locations to suit various parlor
setups.
Example 1: Parallel Neck Rail
If installing the antenna in a parlor
that utilizes a neck rail, use the 40 cm
antenna. The brackets must fasten
the antenna using mounting
solutions that accommodate the type
of neck rail and pole profile.
Antenna Location
The top of the antenna should sit 110
– 120 cm (43"-48") above the floor, depending on the cow's height. The top of the antenna should
align 2.5 – 5 cm (1"-2") above the ear height.
