3 Sites of installation
3.1 Key factors of operation
There are four key issues that the site survey has to shed light on. Proper system
operation cannot be guaranteed without satisfying all of the four requirements.
Clear line of sight - The entire optical path between the two ends must be free
of any obstacles. It not only means that one has to see the other side, but other
possible sources of disturbance should also be taken into consideration. For
example there might be turbulence above the roofs and other constructions, and this
can cause fraction or scattering of th

3.2 Preferred installation sites
All buildings and constructions have a certain movement of their own. It’s
determined by the structure and material of the building. Metal structures can shift or
twist due to temperature changes. Wooden construction can expand or sh
any changes in humidity. Give preference to concrete or brick buildings. On the
other hand high structures like towers, skyscrapers or poles are always subject to
movement. Mount the support frame to walls of the building or near corners, as they
are the most stable spots. Use appropriate consoles for wall mounting. If a stand is
used on the top of
building, secure it directly to the ceiling or to the concrete cornice wherever is
possible. Do not fix stands to insulating materials as they can sl
