9 Connector Jacks The Cockatoo has up to three connector jacks on the base of unit, depending on the configuration. The connector jacks are – • • • 9.
9.2 Connectors All Cockatoo’s are supplied with a male Sensor plug which mates with the female Sensor jack on the base of the Cockatoo. External power and dual float switch variants of Cockatoo have second male Power jacks fitted and are supplied with a matching female Power plug. Figure 3 – Sensor Connector Plug Figure 4 – Power Connector Plug Figure 5 - Side profile view of the complete connector Figure 6 - Explode view of connector 9.2.
9.3 Jacks The connector jacks on the base on the Cockatoo will vary based on the model and its specifications. The provided connectors are different for each connector jack to aid correct assembly. Bracket mounting lug Jack Location Mating Plug Power Jack (P) Sensor Jack S (refer to diagram) Male Plug Power Jack P (refer to diagram) Female Plug External Antenna A (refer to diagram) 9.3.
9.3.2 Main Sensor Connector Wiring Instructions The tables below describe the wiring configuration of the main sensor connector, shown in location S (described earlier in this section) on the base of the Cockatoo and using the male connector (below).
9.3.3 Float Switches It is important to follow the instructions for wiring of float switches, as incorrect wiring or swaping connectors will create invalid alarms. Wiring Float Switches To ensure the correct behaviour of the float switch Cockatoo, it is important that correct connector is wired to the nominated top or bottom float. The top and bottom float use different connectors and have different wiring configurations.
9.4 Antenna 9.4.1 Internal Antenna (Model CK2-T1-I) Most Cockatoo devices ship with an internal antenna and it is important ensure the top of the device is positioned correctly to maximise the radio transmission. The antenna propagation image highlights how the radio waves propagate from the top half of the Cockatoo. Figure 5 - Internal antenna propagation pattern 9.4.
10 Mounting bracket Each Cockatoo ships with a stainless-steel mounting bracket, which attaches to the rear of the Çockatoo and locks into the base. Bracket Anatomy The mounting bracket has been engineered to securely lock onto the body of the Cockatoo with two teeth at the top and two teeth at the base. Two slits on the side of the bracket are for a stainless-steel hose clamp to firming hold the body of the Cockatoo onto the bracket.
Attaching the Bracket to the Cockatoo There are two sets of referencing lugs to aid proper attachment of the bracket to the Cockatoo. One pair at the top, and one pair at the bottom which lock into the plastic protrusion from the base of the Cockatoo, as showing the image Figure 10 - Bottom referencing lugs marrying into the base of the Cockatoo. Figure 11 - Top referencing lugs connecting to Cockatoo.

11 Locating, Mounting and Activation Steps Locating and mounting of the Cockatoo is important to ensure maximised radio transmission performance, reduced stress on the connector jacks, reduced likelihood of the device being covered by debris. Steps - Summary 1. Locate - Identify the mounting location, and if necessary, the external antenna. 2. Test Location – Test that the proposed location is suitable for radio transmissions 3.
11.1 Step 1 – Determining the optimal mounting location Purpose To maximise the radio performance of the Cockatoo it is important to ensure the location, position and likely changes in the physical environment are considered prior to installation. 11.1.1 Cockatoo with internal antenna 11.1.1.
11.1.1.3 Byron Radio – Below Ground When installing below ground, first confirm the Cockatoo radio transmission can penetrate the intended pit lid or covering. This can be achieved by positioning a Taggle High Power Survey tag temporarily in the desired location whilst it is transmitting. Positioning of antenna to influence signal strength The examples below are in meter pits with the top row being a side view and bottom row of image being a top-down view.
11.1.1.4 Myriota Radio The Cockatoo – Satellite devices should be deployed with a full and unobstructed view of the sky in all directions to maximise transmission success on every satellite pass. Physical obstacles including trees, buildings, and poles will block signals and may degrade system performance. The internal antenna variant should be mounted externally with suitable clearance where the Cockatoo is housed within, or near to, metal or concrete structures.
11.1.2 Cockatoo with external antenna 11.1.2.1 Byron Radio (Model CK2-T1-C) Pit installation: It is preferred that the Radio Endpoint is mounted under a non-metal pit lid, however if the radio transmission cannot penetrate the lid after testing with a Taggle High Power Survey Device an external antenna may be needed. The recommended external antenna is the Taoglas RI.02.01.3000W ISM band Roadmarker antenna. https://www.taoglas.
If requiring an external antenna, it is advisable, if feasible, to mount the Cockatoo outside with broad visibility of the sky as described in the earlier section. 11.2 Step 2 – Radio Test the proposed mounting location Purpose Prior to permanently installing the Cockatoo, it is advisable to confirm the proposed location has acceptable radio coverage. 11.2.

11.3 Step 3 - Fix the Cockatoo bracket Purpose Securely mount the bracket to a solid structure or location to ensure no movement. Requirement Items • • • 4 x M5 bolts or screws Cockatoo bracket Other mounting accessories (as required for location) Action 1. Practice sliding the Cockatoo into the bracket before fixing the bracket to the wall/mounting location, as aligning the bottom teeth of the bracket to the Cockatoo can be tricky. 2.

11.5 Step 5 - Attach the sensors and connectors Purpose Ensure proper and water-resistant seal between connector and Cockatoo Jack Action It is important for proper seal to be achieved between the sensor connector and the jack for the connector to be fully tightened.
11.8 Step 8 - Restrain excess cable coil. Purpose Environmental conditions can change after installation, and it’s important to ensure that there will not be undue stress placed on the connector when fastened to the Cockatoo. Action 1. Coil and fasten separately from the Cockatoo any excess cable to a solid mounting point. • 11.
FAQ and Trouble Shooting Page 39 of 54
12 FAQ Can the Cockatoo batteries be increased or replaced? • • The Cockatoo can hold 1 to 4 non -rechargeable batteries (19Ahr to 76Ahr). The number of batteries in the device can be determined from the product code. Examining the product code, the characters after the 3rd hyphen represent the power configuration: 1B= 1 battery, up to 4B = 4 batteries, and EXT meaning externally powered. The batteries used in the Cockatoo are a non-rechargeable lithium metal battery. Contact Taggle to know more.
13 Trouble Shooting Confirming Cockatoo is in OPERATIONAL mode If unsure if the Cockatoo is in FLIGHT mode or OPERATIONAL mode, use an NFC enabled app to read the operational status of the Cockatoo.
Appendices Appendix – NFC Application Cockatoo will not exit FLIGHT mode To exit FLIGHT mode the Cockatoo must have a sensor connected. Provided the Cockatoo has sufficient internal or external power, once a Cockatoo has been placed in OPERATIONAL mode, it will stay in this mode (even if the sensor connector is disconnected.) Confirming the GPS Lock on the Cockatoo Satellite With the NFC Tool app open on the phone select READ again and tap the “a” location on the Taggle logo.

14 Appendix – NFC Application The Cockatoo is shipped in a low power stand-by mode, known as FLIGHT mode. In this mode the satellite radio is disabled to conserve battery and render the device safe for transport in air cargo. To activate the Cockatoo an NFC enabled smartphone running a free NFC App is required. Prior to arriving at site please install an NFC reader App such as one below or similar.
