Installation
Mounting
Make sure the LW24/C is functional before installation. You can use LightWare Studio to verify operation. See the quick
start with LightWare Studio for details.
The LW24/C requires a clear line-of-sight to measure distance to a target surface. It can be mounted with a vertical or
horizontal lens orientation.
LW24/C mounting orientations
The LW24/C can be mounted in a downward facing orientation for altimetry, terrain following or precision landing
applications. For terrain following, install the rangefinder at an angle to reduce lag time in reaction. The angle depends
on the speed travelled, and the overall system lag, but should be between 20 and 45 degrees. The LW24/C can be
mounted forward facing orientation for sense-and-avoid or position-hold applications.
