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.
9.4.2 External Antenna (Model CK2-T1-C)
For deployments in challenging RF environments such as pits and manholes the external
antenna option can be used.
It is important to note there is no internal antenna in this configuration, and the Cockatoo is
fully dependent on the external antenna for all radio transmissions.
The Cockatoo is certified for use with the Taoglas RI.02 3.2dBi
Roadmarker antenna. Use with other antennas is not recommended,
and under no circumstances should the gain of the external antenna
exceed 3dBi.
Use of high gain directional antennas is not permitted.
To retain IP68 protection ensure the external antenna connector is
properly and fully attached to the Cockatoo.
