Where should the Zap machine be located?
Boltage will provide a detailed guide to locating the Zap unit, but in general, there are two main considerations in placing the Zap: The unit needs direct southern exposure (no shade) for the solar panel to operate at full capacity. The unit needs to be placed where it is relatively easy for kids to go past, but not where it will accidentally read the tags of kids who have not walked or biked. Usually a central location is best, but with the unit pointed in such a way that kids need to make a deliberate effort to go past the unit’s “field of vision” – which can be adjusted.
