WARNING!
Ensure that no one stands directly in front of either SONAbeam terminal while
aligning them! To do so may interfere with the optical communications between
the two terminals…
Alignment Adjustments
The Mounting Plate is equipped with both coarse and precise tuning controls for
elevation and azimuth alignment for adjusting the combined transmit and receive axis of
the mounted optical head. This section describes these controls…
Coarse Azimuth Adjustment
Coarse azimuth adjustment is achieved by loosening the nut that secures the terminal’s
mounting plate to the Mount and then rotating the mounting plate (and optical head) as it
sits on the Mount, as shown in
Figure 24
