BENZING M1 – Fancier
INSTALLATION AND INITIAL OPERATION
3.
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
3.1
Conditions of Use
The BENZING M1 is an electronic device running at low voltage. It should only be used
inside. Direct contact with water (drops or splashes of water, stagnant water etc), dirt, or
when in operation with direct sunlight should be avoided.
During operation the surrounding temperature for the BENZING M1 must be between 0°C
and +60°C (+32°F and +140°F) and for the loft antennas (PLB, G2, EFA) -10°C and +70°C
(+14°F and +158°F). If the temperature drops to less than 0°C (+32°F) (which means that
possibly condensed water is formed) the equipment has to be dried for approx 1 hour at a
room temperature of approx +20°C (+68°F). Afterwards all devices can be used again
without further problems. The storage temperature for the BENZING M1 ranges between
-25°C and +70°C (-13°F and +158°F).
If the BENZING M1 and the loft antennas are operated near a power line, the registration of
the arriving pigeons and in general the operation of the BENZING M1 can be susceptible to
interference.
3.2
Installation of the Fancier System
In a loft first the provided M1 Fancier Cable will be connected to one loft antenna (PLB or
G2 Antenna) and then the remaining loft antennas will be connected (see figures 3.1 to
3.3). Another possibility is to connect the cable to a BENZING Antenna Controller where EFA
loft antennas are then connected to.
Next the power supply unit is connected to the corresponding jack at the M1 Fancier Cable.
This jack is located on the back of the connection cable's DB-9 antenna plug (see also
chapter "2.8 - M1 Fancier Cable for Loft Antenna Connection"). This will supply the antennas
with voltage. At last the BENZING M1 can be connected by plugging-in the M1 Fancier Cable at the
BENZING M1.
It is of utmost importance that you observe the instructions on the leaflets
!
inside the antenna packages (PLB, G2, EFA) when installing the loft antennas.
The build-up of a fancier system with the BENZING M1 and loft antennas can be seen in the
following figures.
