Page 37: Chapter 12 - Manual Alignment Via Inclinometer
CHAPTER 12 Manual Alignment via Inclinometer The UMRR-0C Type 42 radar model 0406 will not have an accelerometer. This means that the TMConfigurator software cannot provide the tilt and roll angle. A digital incli- nometer, bevel box, or level with degree reading may need to be procured and used when installing the radars, to set the correct roll and tilt angle. -
Page 38: Measuring Angles Manually
CHAPTER 12 – Aligning the Radar with a Digital Bevel Box/Inclinometer Measuring Angles Manually The housing and brackets are aluminum, so magnets won’t help hold the digital bev- el boxes to the unit. The top edge of the radar is not completely flat. The radome material (black) on the front of the radar creates a lip along the edges of the unit. - Page 39 CHAPTER 12 – Aligning the Radar with a Digital Bevel Box/Inclinometer Fig. 61 Roll set to 0.00 degrees 2. Alternatively, if a flat object is available (ruler or small piece of wood), it can be placed over the back of the mounting bracket for a larger surface for the digital bevel box to rest on.
