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.
Pay particular attention to ensure the coiled cable has sufficient excess cable length
from the coil to the Cockatoo to does not place any undue strain in the Cockatoo
jacks as shown below.
11.9 Step 9 - Test Sensor
Purpose
Once mounted and sensors are connected reconfirm that the Cockatoo transmission.
Action
Repeat Step 2 now using the Cockatoo with all sensors connected, along with external power
and antenna as appropriate.
11.10 Step 10 - Validate - Confirm receipt of radio transmissions
Purpose
Validate correct in field readings to those being published on the data feed or presented in the
data visualisation platform.
Action
Capture the real time state /condition of the sensed environment and time of reading and
compare with the data available on the published data feed and presented in the visualisation
platform.
Owing to the use of the satellite enabled Cockatoo in remote locations,
it is strongly advisable to confirm receipt of transmission to before
leaving the commissioning location.
