2.3.3
Installing Cables – Safety
Power supply cables should be routed so that they are not likely to be
walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them. Pay particular
attention to cables at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where
they exit from the appliance.
Do not run ac power cables in the same duct as signal leads. Do not move
or install equipment whilst it is still attached to the mains supply. Ensure
that safety and ESD precautions are observed whilst interconnecting
equipment.
WARNING…
WHEN CONNECTING THE F-CONNECTOR CABLE FROM THE ANTENNA TO THE QPSK F-
CONNECTOR INPUT, IT IS IMPORTANT TO MAKE SURE THAT:
- THE UNIT IS PROPERLY GROUNDED.
– THE CABLE SCREEN IS THE FIRST POINT OF CONTACT BETWEEN THE F-CONNECTOR AND
THE CABLE.
THIS IS TO MAKE SURE THAT THE CABLE AND UNIT ARE AT THE SAME ELECTRICAL
POTENTIAL WHEN THE CONNECTION IS MADE, AND TO AVOID DAMAGE TO THE EQUIPMENT.
2.3.4
Outdoor Antenna
Lightning Protection
WARNING…
IF THE RECEIVER HAS BEEN SUBJECT TO A LIGHTNING STRIKE OR POWER SURGE WHICH
HAS STOPPED IT WORKING, DISCONNECT THE POWER IMMEDIATELY. DO NOT REAPPLY
POWER UNTIL IT HAS BEEN CHECKED FOR SAFETY. IF IN DOUBT, CONTACT TANDBERG
TELEVISION CUSTOMER SERVICES.
Where appropriate, ensure this product has an adequate level of lightning
protection. Alternatively, during a lightning storm or when it is left
unattended unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the supply
outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent
damage to the product due to lightning and power line surges.
Power Lines
An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of
overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuitry. When
installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to
keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might
be fatal.
