3.2.4 Supporting Structure

The Transmitter and Receiver units should be fixed to a

stable

supporting structure using the

mounting plates supplied.

Note: The maximum movement of the supporting structure under all anticipated operating

conditions must be

0.5

If either unit is to be free standing and not mounted to existing supports or structures, and the
height above the ground is no more than 3m, the supporting structure shown is recommended:

!5 +/5

3(15

Up to

nominal 6mm wall thickness

Excel mounting

plate

U-bolts,

8mm dia.

166mm

centres

Note: The pipe can be filled with concrete to provide extra robustness if necessary.

3.2.5 Orientation

Searchline Excel is solar immune and therefore there is no need to take account of the sun s
movement when considering orientation.

When positioning the units do not install them with the optical axis at an angle greater than 45

to the horizontal. This is to avoid dirt/water buildup on the windows.
