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

4. Attach - Fasten the Cockatoo to the bracket and tighten the supplied hose clamp.
5. Connect – Attach the senor connector/s, and if required external power & external antenna
6. Cockatoo Test radio – Swipe the Cockatoo and confirm receipt of data transmission
7. Install – mount the sensor to the target equipment or mounting location
8. Restrain – Coil excess sensor cable ensuring no undue pressure of connectors on the
jacks.
9. Test Sensor – change the state of the sensor and then swipe the Cockatoo to initiate a
transmission (Byron radio only)
10. Validate - Confirm receipt of radio transmissions in the sensor visualisation platform.
