(Fig. 1) Elevation The built-in level vial helps you to precesily set the elevation of the antenna. (Fig. 2) 1. Adjust to required elevation angle on the graduated arc. 2. Place the CELaligner® on the rear side of the antenna. 3. Tilt the antenna until the vial is in level. Azimuth Having found a reference point on a map and hereafter determinated the offset from the reference point to the decided direction, you adjust the angle on the fraduated arc located on the CELaligner®.(Fig. 3) When having fastened the CELaligner® to the panel antenna, it is time for adjusting the direction of the antenna by using the tracking sight. (Fig. 4) Adjustment Guideline 1. Find reference point on map in horizon (e.g. church tower). 2. Determine offset (degrees) from reference point to required beam direction. 3. Adjust the angle on graduated arc on the CELaligner® (offset). 4. Mount the CELaligner® on the panel antenna. Adjust the antenna by using the tracking sight.

Step 3: The scale should now be pointing at zero degrees. Horizontal Calibration Step 4: Place the aligning rod (A) against a perfectly horizontal plane. Step 5: Follow normal aligning procedure until the bubble of the spirit level (B) is centred. Step 6: The scale (C) should now be pointing at 90 degrees. Step 7: If the statements in step 3 and 6 are not true then the CELaligner® is out of order and should not be used. The CELaligner® should be calibrated once every 12 months. A B C A B C
