Required deployment tools

Ensure you have the right tools to deploy devices.

Ladder

You need a folding 16-foot (5 meter) ladder. A folding ladder is easy to carry through the uneven ground of a forest.

Waterproof carrying boxes

You may need one or more workboxes for devices and tools, depending on how many devices are planned for a day's deployment.

The following is an example good quality toolbox.

1st box - Silvanet devices

Use one of the toolboxes for carrying sufficient Silvanet sensors for a day's deployment.

2nd box - additional tools

Use the second toolbox to carry the following tools:

• Knife and shears (or snips) for cutting branches and crop wire (if required)

• (optional) Crop wire for temporarily deploying devices

• Compass (analogue or digital)

• Cordless drill (for drilling holes for treenails)

• 10 mm wood drill bit (an optional 6mm wood drill bit to begin drilling into hardwood trees)

• Hammer (for treenails)

• Pencil and notepad

• 17mm wrench (for U-clamps)

• Small Phillips screwdriver (for connecting Ethernet cable on Border Gateway)

• Small axe for removing a small section of bark
