c)  Once the bracket is correctly placed over the front rim of the light fitting, twist the screws 

clockwise over the front rim to secure the sighting device on to the light fitting. 

 

 

 

  

4.1 SETTING THE SIGHTING DEVICE  

  

a)

 

The DTS light fitting is Uni-directional and must be set up precisely.  After its installation on the 
Airfield,  please  adjust  the  angle  of  azimuth  and  sight  to  complete  installation  prior  to  any 
operation by Aircraft. 

 

b)

 

When the sighting device is fully secured on the light it is ready to be adjusted.  

 

c)

 

The sighting device can be used in four directions (Front/Rear/Left/Right) for alignment with 
other fittings on the Runway or sighting reference. The telescopic sight rotates 90 degrees at 
a time on the top of the DTS fitting to allow setting. 

 

d)

 

Good practice is to take another fitting in the same direction of the light and use this as a target 
to aim the sighting device at. 

 

e)

 

Check to determine the angle required to local regulations i.e. ICAO, EASA, CAP168 etc 

 

f)

 

The sighting device can be adjusted to a positive or negative toe-in of 1.5
