2.4. Installation and Connection for Outdoor Operation
The unit's weight is about 5 kg and is recommended to be mounted by two persons.
For installation and connection for Indoor operation see Section
Connection for Indoor Operation
The wall and tower mounting brackets, provided with your tuner, allow the tuner to be remotely mounted,
reducing losses, installation costs and installation complexity. Remote operation drastically reduces feedline
losses, resulting from operating a mismatched coaxial line, leaving only the inherent losses of the cable,
operated in a source-feedline-load matched mode.
The option for Remote/Outdoor operation (installation on mast or wall) should always be
preferred if applicable.
Installation of the equipment must comply with local and national electrical codes.
The applicable standards and local regulations shall prevail if there is a difference in the
requirements, and if they contain more or stricter requirements than the minimum for
installation stated in our documentation.
To prevent accidents, tuner installation and connection to the grounding and antennas
should only be carried out in clear, quiet, and sunny weather, when there is no danger of
lightning and static discharges.
Life threatening voltages and electrostatic charges may occur in the antenna and the
cables you install, both as a result of a direct lightning strike or by induction after a
lightning strike on adjacent objects, and may also be statically induced by charged clouds
or energized by dust storms!
