42 Chapter 7   Alignment and Commissioning
Searchline Excel™ Plus / Searchline Excel™ Edge – Technical Manual
Initial coarse mechanical adjustment is first carried out by means of 2 degrees of freedom movement to coaxially align 
the transmitter and receiver pair using the Alignment Scope, followed by hex bolt locking.
Fine adjustment is then achieved by means of the fine adjustment ring on the Universal Mounting Bracket enabling simple 
fine aiming and locking, utilizing the Alignment Scope.
The maximum permissible angle of misalignment between transmitter and receiver is +/- 0.8 deg.
After initial mechanical setup the Searchline Excel Plus or Searchline Excel Edge is powered up. The associated 
Handheld Unit is remotely connected to the receiver. Using the Honeywell Fixed Platform App, the operating range 
(the distance between the front faces of the transmitter and the receiver) is entered. The mechanical alignment is then 
verified electronically.
Searchline Excel Plus & Searchline Excel Edge cannot be put into service unless the alignment has been confirmed 
successfully.
