1.2 Safety recommendations
➤
Please note that the maximum power voltage for the antenna unit must be between 12 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 connection 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 functionality, while the antenna is turned on.
➤
Do not test or turn on the antenna before the radome is fitted correctly. If the sun reflects into
the dish, the electronics can be damaged.
➤
Do not touch the rotary joint.
➤
Do not attempt to open the sealed electronics, as this will void the warranty.
