Important: Mount the AAT properly

Mount the AAT as high as possible to allow the GPS antennas on top of the AAT to
have an unrestricted view of the sky.

Remember that user’s hands, head, body, etc. can block GPS signals, as will most

other physical obstructions.

If necessary, refer to the Diagnostic webpage provided by the AAT’s onboard website

for details concerning azimuth/GPS conditions. This webpage will guide the user to
quick and successful resolution of most GPS signal issues.

Under normal conditions azimuth acquisition should take less than 5 minutes. To
learn tips and tricks for obtaining GPS - based azimuth refer to the general training

Getting Started

The AAT is a battery operated tool that measures azimuth, tilt, roll and height.
Typical use of the AAT is for aligning RF cellular panel antennas. The AAT kit comes
with all the basic items needed to perform most antenna alignment tasks.

To begin using the AAT, it is helpful to understand how the AAT functions.

The AAT is operated by accessing the unit using WiFi. The AAT acts as its own WiFi

hotspot.

The AAT can be operated by most any smartphone, tablet or laptop supporting standard Wi-Fi

(802.11b/g/n). See Section 3. for more details.

The AAT can measure and record results in two ways:

1) Quick Capture mode

OR

2) Profile mode

Quick Capture mode allows the user to mount the AAT and capture the actual

measurements with no need for alignment targets. Quick capture reports do not
include the target data that would be in the Profile mode reports.

Profile mode allows the user to preprogram the AAT with target data that is compared to

actual measurements in the field. Resulting reports show both target and measured
data. There are numerous optional data fields available when using the Profile mode.

Reports can be generated for a single alignment record (i.e. a single antenna) or site record

(i.e. where several alignment records create one report). The AAT can create PDF, CSV
and Google Earth files. Reports are downloaded to your handheld device or laptop by
the AAT, from there they can be emailed or printed.
