Proper Installation and Safety
The system should only be installed by qualifi ed specialist personnel!
►
To prevent hazards during installation, operation or when driving on public highways, the instructions
and information in this manual must be strictly adhered to. Proper installation and connection of the
turntable are prerequisites for conformity with the corresponding standards.
►
This is documented in advance by the CE mark and the declaration of conformity in the appendix to this
manual.
Essential information
A crucial safety factor is proper performance of installation and electrical connection work, and the specifi ed alignment
of the turntable in the direction of travel (parking position).
►
Comply as precisely as possible with the installation conditions and steps described.
Sealing adhesive
The turntable is attached to the vehicle roof by adhesive and is secured by additional screws. The adhesive is not
included. Use a sealing adhesive for automotive applications with a tensile strength (DIN 53505) = 1.8 MPa and a shear
strength (DIN 53283) = 2.5 MPa. We recommend
Dekasyl MS-5 Kraftkleber
(manufacturer: Deka Kleben & Dichten
GmbH, 63691 Ranstadt, Germany) or Sikafl ex-291i (manufacturer: Sika AG, 6341 Baar, Switzerland).
Please refer to the manufacturer‘s safety data sheet and technical data sheet for information on the use of the adhesive.
Risk of material damage due to improper use of the sealing adhesive!
►
During installation work, follow the processing and safety instructions of the manufacturer of the sealing
adhesive.
Road Traffi c Licensing Regulations (StVZO)
The applicable regulations of the German StVZO must be observed in respect of fi xed installation of the turntable on a
vehicle which is driven on public highways. In particular, Articles 19/2; 30 C; 32 (2) and EC directive 74/483 EEC are appli-
cable.
Briefl y, they state that an entry in the vehicle documents is not required provided that the turntable is at a height of more
than 2 m when the vehicle is loaded and the antenna unit does not protrude beyond the lateral, outer vehicle outline.
The maximum permissible height of 4 m (vehicle and antenna unit) must not be exceeded.
Risk of smouldering fi re!
Tying the cables up with a wire or the like could cause a smouldering fi re.
►
Disentangle and remove any wire or the like. Disconnect the turntable and all the units connected to it
from the power supply during installation/repairs/dismantling.
Trip hazard due to cables!
Crushing or excessively stretching cables can cause a smouldering fi re
►
Lay cables in such a way that no one can tread on them or trip over them.
Laying and Connecting the Cables
Parasitic induction or interference emissions!
An inappropriate cable or extension cable may cause parasitic induction or interference emissions degra-
ding image quality and interfering with communication with the turntable.
►
When extending the antenna cable, use a 75 Ω coaxial cable with a screening factor of at least 75 dB.
►
We recommend an extension cable that has at least the electrical characteristics of the Kathrein cable
LCD 89!
