Exact distance measurement - because the unit was designed for 400
meter operation the higher distance will decrease the availability
dramatically. If the distance is too small contact your distributor or
LaserBit support for information of the special installation!

East-West orientation - although the receiver optics is equipped with
optical filters to protect the receiver diode from the effect of undesired
light sources, the direct sunshine can cause saturation of the diode. This
prevents the system from working properly for several minutes a day in a
certain time of the year. In most of cases this effect can be avoided by
careful selection of the mounting spot.
In order to comply with the requirements of the successful installation -
including the discussed four key factors and other criteria - the following matters
should be taken into consideration.
3.1.1.2
Preferred installation sites
All buildings and constructions have a certain movement of their own. It’s
determined by the structure and material of the building. Metal structures can
shift or twist due to temperature changes. Wooden construction can expand or
shrink with the changing of humidity. Give preference to concrete or brick
buildings. On the other hand high structures like towers, skyscrapers or poles
always subject to great movement. Mount the support frame to basic holders of
the building or near corners, as they are the most stable spots. Use appropriate
consoles for wall mounting. If stand is used on the top of building, secure it
directly to the ceiling or to the concrete cornice wherever is possible. Do not fix
stands to insulating materials as they can slowly sink under the weight of the
unit and with temperature changing. Big chimneys and smokestacks may look
stable, but as their inner temperature varies they can also move. Vibration
caused by heavy traffic, trains, elevators, etc. may slowly move the system out
of its specified direction. Another important consideration is to provide enough
space for alignment and to have the potential for future maintenance. Consider
that the support frame is usually heavy, so the selected spot should be easily
accessible.
