How do I Calculate the Inclinometer Elevation Angle?




 

 

To calculate the inclinometer elevation angle, position the inclinometer on the metal surface that attaches the antenna to the mount. You will need to take into account that the inclinometer will be positioned vertically at 90 degrees to the ground. With this in mind, it is important to understand the following example:

 

If your true elevation is 50 degrees and your offset is 20 degrees, subtract your offset from your true

elevation, which will give you the total value of 30 degrees. Now, subtract your new elevation value of

30 degrees from the inclinometer’s starting value of 90 degrees. 60 degrees will be your desired

inclinometer elevation angle.
