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
11.1.1.1 Byron Radio – Above Ground
For best results are achieve by having the Cockatoo
above ground, positioned vertically and away from
any close objects which may block the
transmission, such as wall, metal
equipment/building.
In the case of enclosed spaces, first test the radio
performance of the Cockatoo, and if challenged for
radio transmissions, consider using an external
antenna. Try ensure the area is not fully enclosed to
allow the radio signal the best opportuity to reach
the Receiver.
Alterative solutions
In the example below, mounting a Cockatoo inside this water meter cabinet and relying on the
internal antenna will have impaired results. In such
an instance, it is best to use a Cockatoo with
external antenna, with the Cockatoo mounted
inside the cabinet and a small mushroom antenna
place outside the enclosure.
