• Never install antennas on buildings with easily fl ammable roof coverings such as straw, rushes or similar materials!
Otherwise ther
e is a risk of fi re due to atmospheric over-voltages (static charges) or lightning
discharges (e.g. during thunderstorms).
• The i
nstallation operations described here assume good craftsmanship capabilities and knowledge of the behaviour of
materials under the eff ects of wind. Therefore if you do not possess the required skills, have this work performed by a
specialist .
• The person doing the work must wear strong non-slip footwear, must not be liable to dizziness, must be able to move
around safely on the roof and have a secure standing and attachment position. (if necessary, wear a safety harness
when on the roof).
• Make sure that the roof is able to bear your weight. Never walk on fragile or unstable surfaces! In case of doubt, contact
a qualifi ed specialist dealer or specialist roofi ng contractor to fi nd an appropriate installation location.
• Do not go on to roofs or other high places without a correctly attached safety harness that is in good condition. Otherwise
use a work platform.
• Ladders or other means of climbing must be in faultless condition (dry, clean and non-slip). Never build any irresponsible
„scrambling towers“!
• If there is a risk that passers-by may be injured by items falling from above during installation, you must close off the risk
area using barriers! Make sure that no-one is underneath the installation location.
Risk of death
or injury due to falling from the roof, falling through the roof and falling parts, plus the possibility
of damage to the roof.
• The respective national safety r
egulations and current standards such as DIN EN 60728-11 should be
complied with.
• Any other use or failure to comply with these instructions will result in voiding of warranty coverage.
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 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 1055, parts 4 and DIN 4131 specifi es the increased wind and vibration loadings that
should be allowed for. The dynamic properties of the antenna and the structure can interact and cause problems.
Failure to comply can result in excessive susceptibility to vibration.
Basic Safety Precautions
Before you install, connect or use the parabolic antenna, make sure
that you comply with the instructions in this manual
•
If you disregard these instructions,
• malfunctions may arise, creati
ng risks
to your life and health,
• defects in the installation or the connection may cause damage to the antenn
a or to
the attachment point,
• the manufacturer will n
ot acc
ept liability fo
r any
resulting malfunctions or damage!
• Under no circumstances install antennas in the vicinity of overhead power cables, otherwise the absolutely essential
clearance requirements may no longer be satisfi ed. Maintain a clearance of at least 1 m from all other electrical equip-
ment in all directions!
If you or metal parts
of the antenna touch any electrical device there is a serious risk of a fatal electric shock!
•
Never work on antenna systems during a thunderstorm or when a thunderstorm is approaching.
There is a risk of a fata
l electric shock!
Antenna grounding / lightning protection
Because of the serious consequences if the work is not done properly, grounding and lightning protection work may be
performed only by specially trained electricians.
Never perfo
rm grounding and lightning protection work if you are not a specialist with the appropriate skills!
The antenna must be erected
to DIN EN 60728-11 and grounded as specifi ed.
