Fundamental information
A crucial safety factor is proper performance of installation and
electrical connection work, and the speci
fi
ed alignment of the turntable
in the direction of travel (park position), see also installation and
connection.
Heed as precisely as possible the installation conditions and steps
described.
Modi
fi
cations to the electrical installations in the vehicle should only be
carried out by a specialist in vehicle electrics.
Do not make any individual changes to the turntable.
Sealing glue
The turntable is mounted on the roof of the vehicle by glueing and is
secured by additional screws.
Note that the setting of the sealing glue depends on the temperature.
It reaches its
fi
nal strength after approximately
fi
ve days. During
installation work, follow the processing and safety instructions listed in
the Sika
fl
ex® 291 data sheet.
Road Traf
fi
c Licensing Regulations (StVZO)
The applicable regulations of the StVZO must be heeded with
fi
xed
installation of the turntable on a vehicle which drives on public
highways.
In particular, this applies to §§ 19/2; 30 C; 32 (2) and the EC directive
74/483 EEC.
Brie
fl
y, they state that an entry in the vehicle documentation is not
necessary if the antenna unit is not at a height of more than 2 m when
the vehicle is laden and the antenna unit does not protrude outside
the outer lateral outline of the vehicle. The maximum permissible
height of 4 m (vehicle and antenna unit) may not be exceeded.
There is an increased risk of accidents if the normal vehicle height is
increased by an extended antenna. The driver bears sole responsibility
for the condition of the superstructure and external
fi
ttings!
Cable
Lay all cables such that nobody can tread on them or trip over them.
To prevent parasitic induction or interference emissions, when
extending the antenna cable use 75
Ω
coaxial cable with a screening
factor of at least 75 dB.
If you have tied the cables with wire or something similar, disentangle
this in order to prevent smouldering!
