3.10 FINAL INSTALLATION

If the results of the initial tests are within acceptable tolerances, then the Brewer can be moved to
its final location.

1. At the Brewer Main Menu, issue the command, EX, and the Brewer Operating Program will

terminate.

2. Turn OFF all Brewer and Computer equipment and remove all interconnecting cables.
3. Route the Power and Data Cables from the Computer to the Brewer final location.
4. Disassemble the Brewer-Tracker-Tripod setup , and move them to the final location.
5 At the final location, place the Tripod on a flat surface such that one leg points approximately

toward geographic North.

6. Use the Tripod “tie-down kit” to secure the tripod against movement due to accidental

bumping or high winds. See Figure 3.6.
