Paramount ME Assembly and Setup Rough Altitude Adjustment When the boxed Paramount ME arrives, the altitude (which corresponds to your latitude) is set to the lowest possible position of 15 degrees. Before adding any additional weight to the top of the mount, adjust the altitude-positioning device to your approximate latitude. Figure 3 – Altitude divisions. Altitude Divisions The altitude divisions machined into the side of each wedge plate allow estimating the latitude to within a fraction of a degree. These divisions are very accurate if the mount is level, and limited accuracy if not. The larger tics are machined every 10 degrees, the medium tics every 5 degrees and the small every degree. The starting value is 15 degrees so that first large tic is 20 degrees. One full turn of the precision positioning device on the altitude is one degree in the middle of the latitude range (approximately 36 degrees) and slightly different at each of the extremes. Each tic on the knobs of the azimuth adjustment is two arcminutes.
