NTI MegaDipol MD300DX Operating Manual

Safety instructions

In case of thunderstorms or overload
Both inputs of the MD 300DX have an input protection circuit against static discharges with ESD protectors up
to 8kV and thus conforming to IEC 61000-4-2 Level 2/max 1ns and an additional 4kV fine protection
Disclaimer - please note
The integrated overvoltage protection circuit will not protect your equipment from a lightning strike in the event
of a direct hit to the house or the vicinity. Irrespective of the radiation element lengths, high voltages can
permanently damage the antenna electronics and/or connected devices. For this reason, liability for these
devices is excluded. Other types of damage caused by overloads or by direct HF-exposure (transmitting
antennas) are also excluded from the warranty.
In case of absence from home, the potential danger of transmitting (ham radio stations), and thunderstorms
etc., can be avoided by disconnecting the antenna cable to avoid any damage.
In the vicinity of strong transmitters, please note also
In the rare case of immediate vicinity (less than 100m) to very strong transmitters, overdrive effects can
occur, which may overload the antenna electronics and/or connected devices. This can happen in the case of
more than -10dBm output level. Weak signals may surpressed and phantom signals can occur.
Since the reception range of the MD 300 X is 300MHz max, signals outside the shortwave spectrum can also
cause such negative effects.
