SiteSurvey

The first step before every installation is to visit the sites to be linked. This in order to make sure that the connection is feasible, to find out potential obstacles or difficulties and to decide on the locationandmountingpointsofthetransceivers

Line of Sight

An imperative condition for linking two distant buildings is that the two mounting sites must be within a clear sight of each other.

Pay attention to:

Growing vegetation and increasing

 

foliage during spring

 

Building sites (cranes movements, ...)

 

Chimneys (drained away smokes could

 

block the beam from time to time).

Orientation

As direct sunlight could overload the airlink receiver and generate its saturation, avoid as far as possible the East to West path link.

Note

In case this is not possible the surrounding buildings could shield the transceiver from the direct sunlight otherwise outages lasting several minutes (depending on the time of the year and the angle of the sun) could occur. The system will fully recover once the sun is out of the receiver field of view.

Location & Range

1.The mounting of the transceiver must be extremely rigid (preventing the installation from twists of 1 mrad). The key to the required rigidity is to attach the mounting accessories on strong mounting points such as:

-Stiff building structures

-Concrete or reinforced concrete surfaces
