Outdoor Installation Warnings
WARNING
LIVES MAY BE AT RISK!
Carefully observe these instructions and any special instructions included with the equipment being installed.
WARNING
CONTACTING POWER LINES CAN BE LETHAL
Look over the site before beginning any installation and anticipate possible hazards, especially these:
•
Make sure no power lines are near where possible contact can be made. Antennas, masts, towers, guy
wires, or cables may lean or fall and contact these lines. People may be injured or killed if they are
touching or holding any part of equipment when it contacts electric lines. Make sure there is NO
possibility that equipment or personnel can come in contact directly or indirectly with power lines.
•
Assume all overhead lines are power lines.
•
The horizontal distance from a tower, mast, or antenna to the nearest power line should be at least twice
the total length of the mast/antenna combination. This will ensure that the mast will not contact power if it
falls during either installation or later.
WARNING
TO AVOID FALLING, USE SAFE PROCEDURES WHEN WORKING AT HEIGHTS ABOVE GROUND
•
Select equipment locations that will allow safe, simple equipment installation
•
Don’t work alone. A friend or co-worker can save a life if an accident happens.
•
Use approved, non-conducting ladders and other safety equipment. Make sure all equipment is in good
repair.
•
If a tower or mast begins falling, don’t attempt to catch it. Stand back and let it fall.
•
If anything such as a wire or mast does come in contact with a power line, DON’T TOUCH IT OR
ATTEMPT TO MOVE IT. Instead, save a life by calling the power company.
•
Don’t attempt to erect antennas or towers on windy days.
WARNING
MAKE SURE ALL TOWERS AND MASTS ARE SECURELY GROUNDED, AND ELECTRICAL CABLES
CONNECTED TO ANTENNAS HAVE LIGHTNING ARRESTORS.
This will help prevent fire damage or human injury in case of lightning, static build up, or short circuit within
equipment connected to antenna.
•
The base of the antenna mast or tower must be connected directly to the building protective ground or to
one-or-more approved grounding rods, using 1 AWG ground wire and corrosion-resistant connectors.
•
Refer to the National Electrical Code for grounding details.
•
Lightning arrestors for antenna feed coaxial cables are available from HyperLink Technologies, Inc.
WARNING
If a person comes in contact with electrical power, and cannot move
DO NOT TOUCH THAT PERSON OR RISK ELECTROCUTION
•
Use a non-conductive dry board, stick, or rope to push, pull, or drag them so they no longer are in
contact with electrical power.
•
Once they are no longer contacting electrical power, administer CPR if certified, and make sure
emergency medical aid has been requested.
