NOTE 
Use the CLOSE command after the configuration and operation check 
is finalized. 
 
Final Alignment 
During the assembly as explained in Chapter 4, Installation on page 67, 
the LT31 receiver and transmitter have already been roughly aligned in 
relation to each other. To optimize this alignment, an acoustically 
supported, menu-guided, automatic fine-alignment is a standard LT31 
procedure. 
CAUTION 
Final alignment must be carried out at this point of the LT31 
installation. 
 
For details on the final alignment, see section Alignment on page 225. 
NOTE 
Always select Raw and Fine Alignment mode for the final alignment 
during installation. 
 
Calibration 
As the achievable measurement signal depends on the individual 
tolerances of the opto-electronic systems and the alignment result itself, 
the measurement signal has to be correlated to the prevailing visibility to 
bring the Transmissometer into a final operational condition. This 
process is carried out in the frame of the LT31 Calibration. The LT31 
Calibration Procedure is menu-guided. 
CAUTION 
Calibration must be carried out at this point of the LT31 installation. A 
sufficient fine-alignment quality is required in any case. 
 
To do the calibration, follow the instructions in section Calibration on 
page 232. 
NOTE 
Always select the Base Calibration mode for the initial calibration 
during installation.
