3.3 Distance measurement


Because the units were designed, and calibrated for certain distance operations the
higher distance will decrease the availability. GeoDesy FSO pre-calibrates and pre-
tests every unit shipped to the customer. To ensure that the unit you are about to buy

fits to the needs, the first step is to
measure the distance. The best
way to measure it is by GPS
(Global

Positioning

System), these units
are accurate enough to
determine the distance
between two points.
For

more

details

please refer to the
GPS

manufacturer

handbook. Also there are several
other ways to measure the
distance. If you know the exact

address you can use mapping software like MapPoint or Auto route.

3.4 Direct sunshine


To prevent the sun shining directly
into the receiver optics, first one
has to determine the orientation of
the link. Try to avoid East-West
orientation wherever it is possible.
Examine both sides of the link at
sunset and sunrise and find a
position where the sun cannot get
behind any of the heads. Be aware
that the path of the sun is changing
throughout the year.
