DANGER
Risk of being struck by lightning
If the product is used with accessories, for example on masts, staffs, poles,
you may increase the risk of being struck by lightning. Danger from high vol-
tages also exists near power lines. Lightning, voltage peaks, or the touching of
power lines can cause damage, injury and death.
Precautions:
▶
Do not use the product in a thunderstorm as you can increase the risk of
being struck by lightning.
▶
Be sure to remain at a safe distance from electrical installations. Do not
use the product directly under or close to power lines. If it is essential to
work in such an environment contact the safety authorities responsible for
electrical installations and follow their instructions.
▶
If the product has to be permanently mounted in an exposed location, it is
advisable to provide a lightning conductor system. A suggestion on how to
design a lightning conductor for the product is given below. Always follow
the regulations in force in your country regarding grounding antennas and
masts. These installations must be carried out by an authorised specialist.
▶
To prevent damages due to indirect lightning strikes (voltage spikes)
cables, for example for antenna, power source or modem should be pro-
tected with appropriate protection elements, like a lightning arrester. These
installations must be carried out by an authorised specialist.
▶
If there is a risk of a thunderstorm, or if the equipment is to remain
unused and unattended for a long period, protect your product additionally
by unplugging all systems components and disconnecting all connecting
cables and supply cables, for example, instrument - antenna.
WARNING
Missing attention of operators or malfunctions
While steering or navigating the machine accidents may occur due to:
•
The operator not paying attention to the surroundings (persons, ditches,
traffic, etc.), or
•
Malfunctions (…of a system component, interference, etc).
Precautions:
▶
The operator assures that the machine is operated, guided and monitored
by a qualified user (e.g. driver).
▶
The user has to be able to take emergency measures, for example an
emergency stop.
WARNING
Incorrect fastening of the external antenna
Incorrect fastening of the external antenna to vehicles or transporters poses
the risk of the equipment being broken by mechanical influence, vibration or
airstream. This may result in accident and physical injury.
Precautions:
▶
Attach the external antenna professionally. The external antenna must be
secured additionally, for example by use of a safety cord. Ensure that the
mounting device is correctly mounted and able to carry the weight of the
external antenna (>1 kg) safely.
