9. Information

9.1 Energy Supply

The entire system is fitted with off-the-shelf batteries. The batteries will last for an entire winter
season. There is no need for a mains supply.
When not used, the system will automatically enter a sleep mode. There is no need for manual
switch off.

9.2 Location

The following requirements should be met by a suitable location:
The altitude should be reasonable to provide sufficient and long lasting snow cover.
The size should be about 100 meters by 100 meters, preferably on a slope.
Keep at least 150 meters distance from possible sources of interference to avoid problems. Possible
sources of interference are
power lines above and below ground
any means of transportation
snowmaking equipment
technical buildings such as transformer stations, mobile network antennas
ski runs (interference from transceivers that are carried by skiers)
For reasons of safety, we recommend to fence the search area.
For easy access, we recommend to mark the area by means of signs, banners or beach flags.
