1.2 Safety recommendations
Please note that the maximum power voltage for the antenna unit
must be between 11.5 and 36 volts DC, and the overload protection
should be rated min. 5 amp. and max. 7.5 amp.
When mounting the antenna, the distance from the antenna unit
to other radiation sources e.g. radar equipment or other antennas
(mobile communication antennas) should be min. 2.5 m (8 ft).
Simultaneous operation of radar and satellite antenna may damage
the satellite antenna if not installed directly above the radar antenna.
Do not use the control unit outdoors.
During a thunderstorm, we recommend that the connection cables
are disconnected.
If the negative side of the antenna unit’s supply voltage has no con-
nection to ship’s ground (earth), then the antenna unit’s ground point
should be connected directly to ship’s ground (earth).
After the installation is completed, all other electronic systems i.e.
GPS, Radar, VHF, FM, AM etc. should be tested for full functional-
ity, while the antenna is turned on.
Do not test or turn on the antenna before the radome is fitted cor-
rectly. If the sun reflects into the dish, the electronics can be dam-
aged.
Do not touch the rotary joint.
Do not attempt to open the sealed electronics, as this will void the
warranty.
