7. Securing The Load


The trailers use a unique
rail system to secure the
equipment.
This rail system is simple
to use and quickly
attaches and detaches
equipment. All equipment
must be returned to there
location for proper weight
balance.

9. MAST SYSTEM

Each cache trailer contains one mast
system for Public Safety and one for
Amateur Radio. The Amateur Mast
System also contains the antennas and
coax. A video shows how to deploy the
system.

10. Bluesky Mast System

11. Bluesky Mast System

The two mast bags
have wheels for easy
moving and reside in a
dedicated place inside
the trailer for even
weight distribution.
Each bag has a
complete set of
instructions

12. Antennas


Antennas are hung on
the wall by three
hooks.
The Public Safety
cache has one VHF
stick, UHF Yagi, two
50’ rolls of LMR 400
Ultraflex and mast
mounting hardware.

13. Antennas

Amateur Radio antennas
are located above the
Solar Panel bag. Also the
Amateur Radio mast bag
contains wire HF, coax
and VHF/UHF antennas.

14. Power System

The Solar Power box
contains two 200 a/hr
batteries, 1,000 watt
inverter, and solar
controller. This is 12
VDC. There is enough
battery capacity to run
the Daniels radio
equipment and other
small DC power items.

15. Power System

A 1,000 watt inverter
provides 120 VAC to the
covered outlet on the
front of the case. This
is to be used only when
the Generator fails.
The batteries won’t last
long using the inverter.

16. Power System

To use the inverter, a
fuse must be installed
here. Just loosen the
small screws and
insert the fuse. The
fuse holder will move
a bit so the fuse will
fit.

17. Power System

This fuse applies power
to the solar controller.
When solar power isn’t
being used, disconnect
this fuse so the
controller doesn’t run
down the batteries.

18. Power System


The controller not only
charges the batteries, but
also monitors the charge
current and voltage.
On the front of the case
there are connections for
an AC charger, solar
panels, 12 VDC high and
low current and inverter
120 VAC

19. Power System

A Honda 5,000 watt
generator, 50’ power cord
and a 5 gallon safety gas
can are provided. This can
be used at night to run
lights, radios and charge the
solar batteries. DO NOT
CARRY GASOLINE IN THE
GENERATOR OR GAS CAN!

20. Power System

21. Power System

The solar panels are
inside a bag that
hangs with the
antennas. Open the
bag and unfold the
array. The assembly
is very easy and
should take only 5
minutes to put into
operation.

22. Power System

23. Power System


The power cable has
polarized connectors
and can plug into the
solar power box one
way.
When finished using
the solar array, it
folds up neatly into
it’s bag.

24. Satellite System
