19.9.2 Modules Mounted at Different Elevations
For cases where the other module in the link is mounted at a different elevation, the
assembly hardware allows tilt adjustment. The proper angle of tilt can be calculated as a
factor of both the difference in elevation and the distance that the link spans. Even in this
case, a plumb line and a protractor can be helpful to ensure the proper tilt. This tilt is
typically minimal.
The number of degrees to offset (from vertical) the mounting hardware leg of the support
tube is equal to the angle of elevation from the lower module to the higher module (b in
the example provided in Figure 40 on Page 110).
19.9.3 Mounting Assembly
Both the hardware that Mounting Assembly 27RD provides for adjustment and the
relationship between the offset angle of the module and the direction of the beam are
illustrated in Figure 110.
