Kathrein CAP 700 manual Checks before commencing a journey

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - IMPORTANT NOTES

The antenna will be lowered within 12 seconds of the ignition being switched on (if the unit is in stand-by mode or the UFS 740sw is switched off). Otherwise the control unit that is in use is lowered immediately.

Important: Lowering the antenna can take up to 30 seconds after the ignition is switched on!

Checks before commencing a journey

•Before commencing a journey, the antenna must always be lowered into horizontal position (park position). If the antenna has collided with a fixed or movable object, check that it is still securely attached.

•As the antenna is subjected to vibration loads during driving, you should check at regular intervals, depending on the frequency of driving, that the system is still securely attached and tighten any parts that have worked loose.

•The maximum permissible speed for vehicles with a receiver unit mounted on the roof and the antenna lowered is 130 km/h.

•Lower the antenna if it will not be used for a long period. This makes the securing bolts more difficult to access (protection against theft).

Antenna in the park position whilst driving

The antenna must always be lowered into horizontal position (park position) while driving. As a reminder, attach the sticker from the supplementary sheet “Lower the CAP 700 antenna while driving” where it can easily be seen by the person operating the ignition switch.

Safety precautions during operation

During operation of the turntable, make sure that no persons, in particular children, are in the immediate vicinity of the turntable and that they cannot touch any moving parts – crush hazard!

Always unplug the power supply during installation work.

Exceeding the normal vehicle height by failing to lower the antenna increases the risk of accidents! The driver is responsible for the condition of external fittings on the vehicle!

In addition the instructions in the installation and operating manuals for these devices and for the attachments and superstructures must be complied with at all times!

If stormy weather is expected, the turntable must always be moved to the park position, otherwise both the CAP 700 and the vehicle may be damaged.
