Honeywell Analytics or an authorised Honeywell Analytics trainer.
Detailed information concerning installation, alignment and commissioning is provided in this manual.

7.1General
To ensure optimum performance the transmitter and receiver must be accurately coaxially aligned with a clear line of sight
between them.
The transmitter and receiver must be installed in horizontal level (+/- 45 degrees tilt).
The transmitter is first aligned with the receiver using a Searchline Excel Alignment Scope attached to the body of
the transmitter.
This Searchline Excel Alignment Scope is then fitted to the receiver and the alignment procedure repeated.
The IS Handheld Unit is connected to the receiver via Bluetooth and runs the Honeywell Fixed Platform App to finally
commission the equipment and is used to optimally set-up the instrument. All settings are stored along with a maintenance
report.
This procedure can be performed by a single capable and trained technician.
Each Searchline Excel Plus & Searchline Excel Edge transmitter and receiver features a Universal Mounting Bracket that
allows both course and fine mechanical adjustment to simply adjust the horizontal and vertical aim as shown below.
