Preconditions for operation

936.4720b

3 Preconditions for operation

●The RCUs and ALDs that are congured with the ALC must be correctly installed and

connected to the AISG bus.

●Each RCU must be calibrated before the initial conguration of the inclination angle, after

each manual adjustment to the inclination angle and each time the RCU is removed.

●Failure to observe the above instructions can result in imprecise conguration of the

inclination angle.

●Correct calibration requires the RCU to be installed at the antenna interface provided.

●The PC/notebook1) must have Microsoft®Windows®2000, XP, Vista (Ultimate/Home

Premium), 7, 8 or 10 installed.

●The USB stick2) must have ≥ 512 MB of storage space and be formatted with FAT 32.

1) The PC/notebook is required only if the ALC is to be operated via web browser.

See Web browser, p. 53 et seqq for more information.

2) The USB stick is required for transferring data to/from the ALC;

see e.g. Software update ALC, p. 46.
