Safety Instructions

Make sure that you read and observe the instructions in this manual before you install, connect or use the parabolic antenna!
If you disregard these instructions,
● malfunctions may arise, creating risks to your life and health,
● defects in the installation or the connection may cause damage to the antenna or to the attachment point,
● the manufacturer will not accept liability for malfunctions and damage arising!
DANGER
Danger to life caused by electric shock when touching electrical installations!
► Do not install antennas in the vicinity of overhead power cables.
► Maintain a minimum clearance of 1 m from all electrical devices.
► Never work on antenna systems during a thunderstorm or when a thunderstorm is approaching.
WARNING
Risk of severe injury during installation on the roof!
► Wear stable shoes with non-slip soles.
► Do not go on to roofs or other high places without a correctly attached safety harness that is in good condition. Other-
wise use a work platform.
► Make sure that the roof and climbing aid are dry, clean and non-slip.
► Make sure that the person carrying out the installation or repair has a secure position to stand and hold on whilst working. If
necessary, wear a roof safety harness.
► Make sure that the person carrying out the installation or repair work does not suffer from vertigo and can move
around on the roof safely.
► Make sure that the roof is able to bear your weight. Never walk on fragile or unstable surfaces! In case of doubt,
contact a qualified specialist dealer or specialist roofing contractor to find an appropriate installation location.
► Make sure that there is nobody underneath the antenna during installation, repairs or dismantling.
► Make sure to comply with the respective national safety regulations and current standards such as DIN EN 60728-11.
WARNING
Risk of fire with risk of severe injury due to atmospheric over-voltages (static charges) or lightning discharges
(e.g. during thunderstorms)!
► Never install antennas on buildings with easily flammable roof coverings such as straw or thatched roofs.

Selecting the Installation Site

It is essential to select the correct installation site. This determines whether the parabolic antenna can be erected safely and perform
to its optimum capabilities. When selecting the installation site, take account of the following:
● The special features of the structure of the building. If the installation is at the edge of the roof or the building or on a cylindrical
structure, DIN EN 1991-1-4 and DIN 4131 specify the increased wind and vibration loadings that should be allowed for.
● The dynamic properties of the antenna and the structure can interact and cause detrimental changes.
● Failure to comply with the afore mentioned may lead to the maximum load or vibration fatigue stress listed in the Technical Data
being exceeded.
Tip
The parabolic antenna need not necessarily be mounted on the roof, since the requirement is not height as such but an
unobstructed "view" of the satellite. For this reason, an appropriate installation site might also be found for instance in
the garden, on the terrace, on the face of the building or on a garage.
If you have other alternatives, do not install the antenna on a roof. Installation at alternative sites will be much easier and
faster and reduce the hazards associated with installation work on the roof!
