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 should be between 0°C
and +60
°
C (+32°F and +140°F) and for the lazer loft antennae (PLB) -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 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 lazer loft antennae 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 PLB connection cable will be connected to one lazer loft antenna
(PLB) and then the remaining lazer loft antennae will be connected (see figure 3.1). Next
the power supply unit is connected to the corresponding jack at the connection cable. This
jack is located on the back of the connection cable’s DB-9 antenna plug (see also chapter
2.5 - Connection Cable for Lazer Loft Antennae (PLB)” This will supply the antennae with voltage.
At last the BENZING M1 can be connected by plugging-in the connection cable at the BENZING M1.
It is of utmost importance that you observe the instructions on the package
leaflet when installing the lazer loft antennae (PLB).
The build-up of a fancier system with the BENZING M1 and lazer loft antennae (PLB) can be
seen in figure 3.1.
