1 Notes about safety and hazards
•
Observe the relevant VDE regulations.
• If the power cord needs to be replaced, only use an OEM power cord.
• Only replace fuses with fuses of the same type, and which also have the
same cut-off characteristics.
•
Earth the receiving system according to DIN EN 50083-1 / 60728-11.
• Before starting installation or service work disconnect the receiving sys-
tem from mains.
• Do not perform installation and service work during thunderstorms.
• Assembly, installation and servicing must be carried out by an authorised
electrician.
• Install the head-end station
- in a dry, dust-free environment
-
in such a manner that it is protected from moisture, fumes, splashing
water and dampness
- where it is protected from direct exposure to sunlight
- on a vibration-free wall or floor construction
- not within the immediate vicinity of heat sources
• The head-end station should only be installed in a room where the per-
missible ambient temperature range (–10 °C and +50 °C ) can be main-
tained, even during fluctuations in climatic conditions.
• Ensure that the head-end station is adequately ventilated.
• Do not cover the ventilation openings!
• To avoid too strong heating of the head-end stations it is not admissible
to mount them one upon the other without using thermic precautions (e.g.
permanently air recirculation, heat deflectors etc.).
•
Do not install the head end in cabinets or recesses which are not ventilated.
•
If additional fans are to be used to circulate the air, ensure that the system
will be shut down (disconnected from mains) should any one of the fans fail.
• Do not place any vessels containing liquids on the head-end station.
•
Due to the risk of fires caused by lightning strikes, we recommend that all me-
chanical parts (e.g. distributor, equipotential bonding rail, etc.) be mounted
on a non-combustible base. Wood panelling, wooden beams, plastic cov-
ered panels and plastic panels are all examples of combustible bases.
• Avoid short circuits!
• Observe the relevant standards, regulations and guidelines on the
installation and operation of antenna systems.
