Safety during installation work
Warning:
When carrying out installation work in locations where there is a risk of falling, take appropriate safety precautions,
e.g. use of a working platform. Make sure that the vehicle roof is sufficiently strong and stable to carry out the in-
stallation work (risk of damage or collapsing of roof).
In case of doubt, contact a qualified specialist dealer or the manufacturer of your vehicle to find an appropriate
installation location.
Make sure that:
-
All connected units are disconnected from the power supply
-
The person carrying out the installation or repair does not suffer from vertigo and can move around safely on the roof of the ca-
ravan or motor home
-
The person carrying out the installation or repair is wearing sturdy and non-slip shoes
-
The person carrying out the installation or repair has a secure position to stand and hold on while working
-
The roof and the climbing equipment used (e.g. ladder) are dry, clean and non-slip
-
The roof can withstand the weight of the person carrying out the repairs
Caution! Risk of death or injury due to falling or the roof collapsing!
-
Nobody should be inside the caravan/motor home underneath the antenna during dismantling/installation
Caution! Risk of death or injury due to possible roof collapse and falling parts!
• If you tied the cables together with wire or similar materials, remove this to prevent the risk of fire!
• Lay all cables such that nobody can tread on them or trip over them.
• To prevent parasitic induction or interference emissions, when extending the antenna cable use 75 Ω coaxial cable with a scree-
ning factor of at least 75 dB.
• Modifications to the electrical installations in the vehicle should only be carried out by a specialist in vehicle electrics.
Additional safety precautions
• Before commencing a journey, the antenna must always be lowered into horizontal position
(park position). The jointed mast must be lowered as far as it will go (the swivel head will then-
rest upon the sealing collar). As a reminder, attach the sticker shown on the right where it can
easily be seen by the person operating the ignition switch.
• Exceeding the normal vehicle height by failing to lower the antenna increases the risk of ac-
cidents! The driver is responsible for the condition of the superstructure and external fittings!
• If the antenna has collided with a fixed or movable object, check that it is still securely attached.
• As the antenna is subjected to vibration loads during driving, you should check at regular in-
tervals, depending on the frequency of driving, that the system is still securely attached and
tighten any parts that have worked loose.
• The maximum permissible speed for vehicles with an anten-
na unit mounted on the roof and the antenna lowered is 130
km/h.
• Lower the antenna if it will not be used for a long period.
This makes the securing bolts more difficult to access (pro-
tection against theft).
In addition the instructions in the installation and operating
manuals for these devices and for the attachments and su-
perstructures must be complied with at all times!
• The safety provisions for the currently applicable laws and
standards specific to the country of use must be complied
with.
• The antenna and its accessories are not toys for children to
play with! Keep any spare installation accessory items away
from children (danger of choking on small parts).
