Easy to Fasten
The CELaligneris equipped with an elastic belt for
easy fastening on the antenna, and for hands free
operation, thus assuring optimized security when
working up in the mast with panel antennas and
CELaligner. (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 CELaligneron 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 CELalignerto 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 CELaligneron the panel antenna. Adjust the antenna by using the tracking sight.

Vertical Calibration
Step 1: Press the aligning rod (A) against a perfectly vertical wall
Step 2: Follow normal aligning procedure until the bubble of the spirit level is centered.
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 CELaligneris out of order and should not
be used.
The CELalignershould be calibrated once every 12 months.
