1. Scope This installation guide provides step-by-step descriptions for field emplacement of the Coyote UGS nodes. The Coyote UGS node is a multi-modality (seismic, magnetic, passive infrared) unattended ground sensor and is the core component of the Coyote Sensor System as shown in Figure 1. Individual installation guides provide instruction for the gateway and server equipment. Operational use of the sensor is found in the Coyote Sensor System User’s Guide.
2. Unpacking and Battery Installation 2.1. Unpacking Coyote UGS Node and Accessories Open the shipping box and unpack its contents: Coyote UGS Node, Antenna, Umbilical Cord, and Batteries (if purchased). See Figure 2. CoyoteUGS Node: FAP4100-001 Umbilical Cable: RCL4200-010 Antenna: RAT1000-006 Battery: FAA9000-539 Figure 2 – Coyote UGS components 2.2.
A solid green indicates that the device is active and the radio is enabled and will actively seek a mesh network (higher power drain condition). e) Verify the environmental seal track is free of dirt and debris. If necessary, use compressed air to clean out the track. f) Insert the environmental seal in the seal track or re-insert it as necessary if it has popped out of the track at any point. g) Arrange the cables such that they do not impede lid closure.
3. Activation Procedure The Coyote UGS node is now ready for activation. The activation procedure should be performed in the field at the physical location of the placed sensor node. Once the node has been activated, it will begin actively searching for a GPS lock and record this position as its buried location. 3.1. Activation Steps The activation steps require no additional equipment or tooling. 1) The first step is to hold the Coyote UGS node flat and hold this position for 3 seconds.
3.2. LED Status Indicator When the activation process has been successfully completed, the tri-color LED on top of the Coyote UGS node will start blinking RED. This confirms that the node has been activated and is beginning a self-test. If the selftest fails, the LED will turn solid RED. If this occurs, the Coyote UGS node will need to be deactivated by following the Deactivation procedure.
Figure 6 – Coyote UGS LED Status Indicator Field Guide 4. Deactivation Procedure A Coyote UGS node can be deactivated after it has been activated by following a simple procedure that turns it off. This procedure is virtually identical to the activation procedure. 4.1. Deactivation Steps The deactivation steps require no additional equipment or tooling. 5) The first step is to hold the Coyote UGS node flat and hold this position for 3 seconds.
Figure 7 – Coyote UGS Deactivation Field Guide 4.2. LED Status Indicator When the deactivation procedure has been successfully completed, the tri-color LED on top of the Coyote UGS node will begin blinking RED for 10 seconds. After the LED blinks RED for 10 seconds, it will turn solid RED for another 10 seconds before shutting off. Once the LED has turned off, the Coyote UGS is deactivated.
5. Emplacement Procedure Once the Coyote UGS node has been sucessfully activated, it is ready for emplacement. The high level steps for emplacing a Coyote UGS node after it has been activated are: 1) Connect any Sensor Accessories 2) Dig the Hole and Emplace the Coyote UGS node 3) Bury the Node and Camouflage it 5.1.
5.2. Digging the Hole and Emplacing the Coyote UGS Node The first step is to dig a hole to bury the Coyote UGS node. General guidelines for digging holes: a) Select a suitable location for node emplacement b) Dig a hole 12” (depth may be approximated ±1”) deep and twice the size of the Coyote UGS sensor c) The base of the hole should be flat Figure 9 – Coyote UGS node being emplaced in hole 5.3.
c) Conceal the exposed components of the sensor with natural vegetation d) The antenna is flexible and can be mildly bent to shape it into the natural surroundings. Figure 11 - Sensor camouflage using natural vegetation 6. Extraction Procedure In the event a Coyote UGS node needs to be moved to a new location, the following steps should be taken to successfully extract the node. 1) The first thing to do is locate and dig up the node.
