Important for a Successful Permanent Installation

For permanently installed systems to be successful, loudspeaker layout, direction and positioning has to be designed for the individual site, considering such following factors, but without limitation –

1. Geographic location

2. Position relative to areas of population, beaches, the sea, industry etc.

3. Prevailing wind direction

4. Where, relative to the location, the sun rises and sets

5. Where, within the site, birds most frequently gather

6. North/South positioning

7. Main bird species present, including any seasonal changes, if known

8. Areas surrounding the site which may influence the presence of birds at the site e.g. beaches, landfill, food processing or handling, sanctuaries or other types of locations which birds may populate

9. Architectural features of the subject structure/building /site that might encourage birds to visit, nest or roost.

THE PROVISION OF A SCALED SITE PLAN TO SCARECROW PLANNING ENGINEERS IS ESSENTIAL TO THE SUCCESS OF ANY SYSTEM DESIGN AND FUNCTION.

The site plan should include identification of the main office/administration area, a possible location for the central system electronics, and information about overhead lighting, lamp or cable ‘stringing’ posts for consideration as cost effective loudspeaker mounting positions if required. Our Scarecrow website includes a QUESTIONNAIRE to be downloaded, completed and returned with your site plan.

Total system support

For landfill and other similar applications, SCARECROW engineers prefer to have full knowledge of the site including geographical and local data, the extent of the bird control needs etc. and will always freely advise on all aspects of use of SCARECROW equipment to comply with Legislated demands.

In all cases SCARECROW is able to assist and co-ordinate the collection of all this data, including by site assessment visits.

On system delivery, SCARECROW engineers will provide an Installation Manual and identify the location of each loudspeaker specified and include a cabling specification so that a local competent electrician can complete system wiring, using SCARECROW further advice if required.
