3. Activation Procedure
The Coyote UGS node is now ready for activation. The activation procedure should be performed in the field at
the physical location of the placed sensor node. Once the node has been activated, it will begin actively
searching for a GPS lock and record this position as its buried location.
3.1. Activation Steps
The activation steps require no additional equipment or tooling.
1) The first step is to hold the Coyote UGS node flat and hold this position for 3 seconds.
2) The second step is to rotate the Coyote UGS node 90 degrees to the NORTH* and hold this position for
3 seconds.
3) The third step is to rotate the Coyote UGS node 180 degrees to the SOUTH and hold this position for 3
seconds.
4) The last step is to return the Coyote UGS node to a flat position and hold this for 3 seconds.
* Note – The NORTH bearing is relative to the “N” arrow on top of Coyote UGS housing
The Coyote Activation Field Guide lists these steps and is accompanied by images of the Coyote UGS nodes
for ease of use in the field. This can be seen in Figure 4.

3.2. LED Status Indicator
When the activation process has been successfully completed, the tri-color LED on top of the Coyote UGS node
will start blinking RED. This confirms that the node has been activated and is beginning a self-test. If the self-
test fails, the LED will turn solid RED. If this occurs, the Coyote UGS node will need to be deactivated by
following the Deactivation procedure.
RED Blinking – Confirms successful activation and indicates self-test is in progress
RED Solid – Indicates the self-test failed. The LED will remain on until the node is deactivated
If the self-test passes, the LED will begin blinking ORANGE. During this time, it will begin searching for a GPS
lock and checking for communication with the Coyote network. The node may be buried at this time, but it is
advised to wait until a GPS lock and RF communication has been.
ORANGE Blinking – Indicates self-test has passed; node is searching for comms and GPS
Once the node has passed self-test and has established RF communications, the LED will begin blinking
GREEN. Once the node passes self-test, establishes RF communications, and obtains a GPS lock, the LED
will remain solid GREEN. At this time the node it is recommended to bury the Coyote UGS node.
GREEN Blinking – Indicates self-test has passed and the node has established RF comms
GREEN Solid – This confirms successful self-test, RF communication, and GPS lock
The nodes will attempt the self-test process and search for RF communication and GPS lock for a total of 10
minutes once the node has been activated. After 10 minutes from activation, the LED will go off and the node
will begin reporting alarms. After 30 minutes from activation, the node will begin reporting tamper alarms.

A summary of the LED Status Indicators can be found on the Coyote LED Status Indicator Field Guide. This
can be seen in Figure 6.

4. Deactivation Procedure
A Coyote UGS node can be deactivated after it has been activated by following a simple procedure that turns it
off. This procedure is virtually identical to the activation procedure.
4.1. Deactivation Steps
The deactivation steps require no additional equipment or tooling.
5) The first step is to hold the Coyote UGS node flat and hold this position for 3 seconds.
6) The second step is to rotate the Coyote UGS node 90 degrees to the EAST* and hold this position for 3
seconds.
7) The third step is to rotate the Coyote UGS node 180 degrees to the WEST and hold this position for 3
seconds.
8) The last step is to return the Coyote UGS node to a flat position and hold this for 3 seconds.
* Note – The NORTH bearing is relative to the “N” arrow on top of Coyote UGS housing
The Coyote Deactivation Field Guide lists these steps and is accompanied by images of the Coyote UGS nodes
for ease of use in the field. This can be seen in Figure 7.

4.2. LED Status Indicator
When the deactivation procedure has been successfully completed, the tri-color LED on top of the Coyote UGS
node will begin blinking RED for 10 seconds. After the LED blinks RED for 10 seconds, it will turn solid RED for
another 10 seconds before shutting off. Once the LED has turned off, the Coyote UGS is deactivated.
RED Blinking – Indicates that deactivation is now in progress (Blinks for 10 seconds)
RED Solid – Indicates that the deactivation process is complete (Turns off after 10 seconds)

5. Emplacement Procedure
Once the Coyote UGS node has been sucessfully activated, it is ready for emplacement. The high level steps
for emplacing a Coyote UGS node after it has been activated are:
1) Connect any Sensor Accessories
2) Dig the Hole and Emplace the Coyote UGS node
3) Bury the Node and Camouflage it
5.1. Connecting Sensor Accessories and RF Antenna
To connect any external sensor accessories to the Coyote UGS node:
a) Connect the male end of the umbilical cable to port J1 on the Coyot eUGS node
b) Connect the female end of the umbilical cable to a MIDs Accessory
c) Connect the RF antenna to port A1 of the Coyote UGS node
Plug pin end into J1 receptacle on UGS

5.2. Digging the Hole and Emplacing the Coyote UGS Node
The first step is to dig a hole to bury the Coyote UGS node. General guidelines for digging holes:
a) Select a suitable location for node emplacement
b) Dig a hole 12” (depth may be approximated ±1”) deep and twice the size of the Coyote UGS sensor
c) The base of the hole should be flat
Figure 9 – Coyote UGS node being emplaced in hole
5.3. Bury and Camouflage the Coyote UGS Node
Now that the CoyoteUGS node has been successfully activated and emplaced in a hole, it is ready to be buried
and camouflaged. Good seismic coupling is a key to optimal performance; therefore, care should be taken in
this step to ensure this. General guidelines for burying and camouflaging:
a) Ensure the base of the hole is flat and the base of the sensor is flat against the bottom of the 12” deep
hole. Note: As a quick field measurement guide, the UGS enclosure is ~6” high and it is approximately
another 6” to the base of the thicker part of the antenna
b) Repeatedly pack the dirt around the sensor as the hole is being filled. This will remove air pockets
around the sensor and enhance coupling of the earth to the enclosure

FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY 12
c) Conceal the exposed components of the sensor with natural vegetation
d) The antenna is flexible and can be mildly bent to shape it into the natural surroundings.

6. Extraction Procedure
In the event a Coyote UGS node needs to be moved to a new location, the following steps should be taken to
successfully extract the node.
1) The first thing to do is locate and dig up the node. Special care is necessary when using a shovel or
other field implement to prevent accidental damage to the connectors on top of the Coyote UGS node.
2) Grasp and pull on the cloth strap on the top of the unit to aid in extraction. DO NOT use the antenna as
a handle.
3) Once the Coyote UGS node has been moved, a tamper alarm will be triggered.
4) Brush off any dirt that is covering the LED and execute the Coyote UGS Deactivation Procedure*.
* Note – The deactivation procedure must be completed within 5 minutes of removing
the node or else a tamper action will occur
