3.4.1 Transmitter Installation
This paragraph provides installation instructions for all transmitter types. To install a
transmitter, perform the steps as follows:
a. Choose a site for installation (see Chapter 5).
b. Put the transmitter on the ground and perform a transmission test using the magnet
(according to the procedure specified in Chapter 2). During nighttime or rainy weather
there may occur transmission interference.
c. Insert a pole into the conical slot at the back of the transmitter. Pole diameter may be 8
– 13 mm (5/16 – 1/2 inches). Alternatively, insert a plastic strap or a T-wrap into the
loops on the sides of the transmitter or alternatively use screws or nails, and attach to a
pole.
d. Screw the transmitter antenna (either directly on the transmitter or use a 6 m/20 ft
extender cable).
e. Roll the remaining cable and attach it to the pole.
f. Install the antenna above foliage height, at least 1 m (3 ft) above the spot where the
transmission test was performed.
The transmitter must be firmly attached to a pole and positioned at a height of 1 meter or
higher, depending on crop height (above foliage height).
