2.5.1 Mounting/ Installation.
The GS-S-20 is light enough to be carried in a backpack. The
mounting brackets have been designed to tilt the antenna correctly
for a target UAV at a distance of about 5miles or more and flying at
an altitude of > 500 ft. It is designed to be mounted to a pole with a
tripod mount. The user can use other mounting methods to suit their
specific applications.
As a general rule, the GS-S-20 should be placed as high as is
practically possible to maximize the operating range/ distance. The
GS-S-20 should be mounted/ installed with the 2 detachable
antennas upright. Also, ensure that there is a clear radio line-of-sight
between the UAV/ transmitter and the GS-S-20 and that there are no
high power transmitters in close proximity (even though they maybe
known to be on other frequencies/ frequency bands.
As with any portable equipment, please exercise care and ensure
safety of personnel. Do not place the unit at a location where if
accidentally knocked over, it might jeopardize the safety of others.
