2.6 Length of the Dead Zones near the equipment
The length of the Dead Zones near the equipment is based on the distance of the equipment
from ground, on the sensitivity set on the receiver and on the type of antenna used.
With regard to the considerations stated above, and based on plant requirements, the
equipment must be installed at a certain height from ground. In mean plant the height must
be 80 cm. (90cm for 50m barriers), from the ground and the centre of the equipment.
With medium sensitivity setting, the suggested crossing overlap is 5 m., for the 80-120-
200 m. versions and 3,5 m. for the 50 m. version.
