Antenna installation safety
1039740-0001 Revision B
9
Access to a roof installation in a commercial, industrial, or institutional
environment must be limited by a door or a permanently fastened ladder
that is locked to deny access to the general public.
Fenced or roof installations in commercial, industrial, or institutional
environments must carry a Radiation Hazard Caution sign on the access
door, gate, or permanently mounted access ladder within plain sight of
anyone approaching the antenna from the front or sides of the reflector.
Once the transmitter becomes operational, maintain a safe distance; at
least 3 ft.
Failure to observe these cautions could result in injury to the eyes or other
personal injury.
Observe these precautions to avoid exposure to RF radiation, a potential
safety hazard:
•
Do not remove the yellow caution label on the antenna system. All antennas
of any type or size must carry an industry standard and government
approved Radiation Hazard Caution label on the feed support arm.
•
A fenced or roof installation in a commercial, industrial, or institutional
environment must carry a Radiation Hazard Caution sign on the access door,
gate, or permanently mounted access ladder within plain sight of anyone
approaching the antenna from the front or sides of the reflector.
Failure to observe these cautions could result in injury to eyes or other
personal injury.
If the antenna or mount assembly begins to fall during the installation,
do not
attempt to catch it.
Move away and let it fall.
Antennas that have been improperly installed or attached to an unstable
structure are susceptible to wind damage, which can be very serious or even
life threatening to you and the customer. The installer and the dealer assume
full responsibility that the installation is structurally sound to support all loads
(weight, wind, and ice) and is properly sealed against leaks.
Note:
Some installations may require additional precautions. See the appropriate
site preparation and mount installation guide for more information.
