Head install angle

**WDG** · 11-22-2014, 11:09 PM

I noticed this on the ALP: "holds the widest protection angle (up to ±15°H ±15°V)"
And it made me wonder if there might be any advantage to a slight upward tilt (maybe 2-3°) when mounting the heads, to better target lidar shot from overpasses?

You should still mount them straight and level. The ALP is EXTREMELY sensitive, so I personally don't see an advantage to tilting the heads up.

I did this with my rear single head since i put it strategically and specifically for on ramp from over pass shots.
