8. Installation

8.5 Control Unit

Mount the control unit by means of the fittings provided below the information board and connect the
antenna cable.

8.6 Burying the Transmitters

Lay down the prepared transmitters in the search area.
Make a functional check (see section 6).
Bury all transmitters in horizontal position. The burial depth should be 0.5 to 1.5 meters. This is the
mean burial depth for avalanche victims in Europe. It also provides good chances of success when
probing. The positioning and the burial depth may need to be adapted during the winter season.
From time to time, you will need to clean traces from earlier exercises on the surface.
We do recommend to document the placing of transmitters within the search area, including their
individual number.
