Note: Due to the resistance of the cable, the RSL readings might be
impacted. Use the thickest wiring possible. Test the impact of the voltage
reading due to the wiring by comparing a direct measurement at the RSL
test point as opposed to the end of the wiring.
• RF/DC coupler
Install a temporary DC coupling device at the radio antenna port and at the antenna
connector. Connect the RSL test point to the radio antenna port coupler, and the volt
meter to the antenna connector coupler. See DC Coupler for Antenna Alignment on
page 107 for more information
• Verbal relay/walkie-talkie/mobile radio/cell phone
¶ A person located at the radio front panel can use a short-range communication
device or verbal relay to communicate to the antenna installer and read off RSL
voltage measurements
Only use the browser-based GUI for antenna alignment if there is no other means
available. If this method is required, refer to Exalt Graphical User Interface (GUI) on
page 54. The RSL reading can be read on a PC or any handheld computing device that
supports an HTML browser and Ethernet connectivity.
Note: There is a slight delay in RSL readings in the GUI as the RSL
levels change. In this case, fine alignment can be done in small
adjustments allowing a small gap of time so that the impact of the
adjustment on the GUI display catches up to real time.
