How to use the sighting tool
Figure 5. Sighting Tool
The sighting tool is included in the basic kit to give you an easy
method of determining 10 degrees over the horizon. To use the
sighting tool:
1. Position the RAU in its desired location.
2. Place the sighting tool over the antenna, allowing it to slide to the
bottom of the antenna.
3. If the antenna is in a vertical position, the flat plate will be at a
10 degree angle. With the lower end of the sighting tool closest
to your eye, sight along the flat plate and note what you see over
the upper end of the plate.
4. Rotate the sighting tool in a full circle to ensure there is a clear
view of the sky in every direction. Anything you see above the
upper end of the plate will be in the way of satellite signals.
5. When finished, remove the sighting tool.
