Follow instructions below (from n°1 to n°34) to install the unit on the site; It
is always better prepare the first installation on site with the help of a laptop
or a tablet.
1) Install the Support base on the site to be monitored.
In the northern (boreal) hemisphere, the AMS-8061 should be installed
with the solar cells facing south, in order to take the best advantage of
the solar radiation for continuous recharging of the internal batteries.
An angle of 35° with respect to vertical is the ideal position for the solar
cells to optimize solar radiation in the European latitudes, specially in
winter when the light levels are generally lower than in summer.
To ensure maximum efficiency in recharging the battery and to take
advantage of the maximum operating autonomy, make sure the
position in which the unit is installed receives sunlight all the day long
and is not shaded by buildings or other screening objects.
Correct readings may be conditioned by the nature of the places in
which the field monitoring system is installed.
The field sensor is affected by huge metallic masses or other objects
that may reflect the signal, if located in the vicinity of the unit.
Whenever possible, it is a good rule to install the unit at some
distance from walls, high voltage pylons, buildings and other
obstacles that could affect the signals reaching the sensor.
