Dock Installation

Confirming the Installation Orientation
Make sure to consider the below factors before installing the dock:

• If there is frequently ocurring strong wind in one direction at the installation site, make sure to avoid the wind speed gauge module being located downwind, so as to prevent the aircraft from taking off and landing too close to the  wind speed gauge module in a windy environment.
• Make sure the integrated security camera orientation is not facing direct sunlight, otherwise the service life and camera view may be affected due to the environment.
• Make sure there are no obstacles blocking the dock covers.
• To avoid false detection when the aircraft lands, make sure that there are no light-colored objects similar to the shape marks or visual identification marks on the landing pad within 5 m of the dock, such as white rectangles, white  triangles, and H patterns.
• If multiple docks are installed at the same location, the distance between each two docks should be at least 5 m.

Installing the Expansion Bolts

• Wear a dust mask and goggles when drilling holes to prevent dust from entering the throat or falling into the eyes. Pay attention to personal safety when using any electric tools.
  The following installation instructions use a concrete base as an example.
  1. Place the box lid with the installation hole signs facing upward at the location where the dock is installed and adjust the orientation and position accordingly.
  2. Align the hammer drill (drill diameter Ф14 mm) with the installation hole signs, keep the hammer drill vertical to the ground and drill four installation holes with a depth of 55-60 mm. Remove the box cover after drilling, make  sure to clean up the surrounding debris to avoid it from falling into the hole.
  3. Slightly tighten the nuts of the four expansion bolts provided, put them vertically into the installation holes, and tap the bolts with a claw hammer until the expansion tubes are submerged into the installation holes.
  4. After pre-tightening the screw bolt until it does not rotate, unscrew the nut, spring washer, and flat washer.
  

Mounting the Base Brackets

DO NOT put hands under the mounting base bracket during adjustment to avoid injury if it is difficult to align the expansion bolt with the hole of the mounting base bracket, and the position of the dock needs to be adjusted.

1. Use an adjustable wrench to remove the four bolts from the mounting base brackets.
   

Accessories Installation and Dock Connection

• Make sure that the status indicators on the dock covers are off, to ensure that the dock is powered off before mounting and connecting.
Mounting the Wind Speed Gauge Module
