SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - IMPORTANT NOTES

Road Traffic Licensing Regulations (StVZO)

The applicable regulations of the StVZO must be observed in respect of fixed installation of the turntable on a vehicle which is driven on public highways.

In particular, §§ 19/2; 30 C; 32 (2) and the EC directive 74/483 EEC are applicable.

Briefly, they state that no endorsement of the vehicle documentation is required unless the antenna unit causes the height of the laden vehicle to exceed 2 m, or the antenna unit projects beyond the outer lateral outline of the vehicle. The maximum permissible height of 4 m (vehicle and antenna unit) may not be exceeded.

There is an increased risk of accidents if the normal vehicle height is increased by extending the antenna. The driver bears sole responsibility for the condition of the superstructure and external fittings!

Cables

Lay all cables such that nobody can tread on them or trip over them.To prevent parasitic induction or interference emissions, when extending the antenna cable use 75 Ω coaxial cable with a screening factor of at least 75 dB.

If you tied the cables together with wire or similar materials, remove this to prevent the risk of fire!

When connecting the power cables (receiver and turntable) to the vehicle electrical supply, make sure that the cable polarity is not reversed.

If the cable polarity is reversed there is a risk of thermal overload and damage to components when the equipment is powered up!

Power supply, fusing

Operate the system from your vehicle's battery (12 V) or a suitable power supply unit. This power supply unit must ensure a stable output voltage of 12 V, continuous current of 11 A and 15 A (300 ms) surge current. The transient power consumption is up to a maximum of 12 A.

To ensure reliable functioning of the connection/control unit, the power supply cable must be connected directly to the battery. If the supply voltage is too low, the UFS 740sw receiver indicates this with the on-screen message “On-board voltage too low” on the television screen.

A 15 A fuse is incorporated in the power supply cable. If the fuse blows, rectify the source of the fault and replace the blown fuse with a fuse of the same rating (15 A).

Never remove or bypass the fuse in the cable – cable fire hazard!

Connecting the power supply cable lead marked “Ignition” activates the turntable function for automatic lowering of the antenna. This lowering takes place as soon as the vehicle ignition circuit is turned on. When connecting the control unit to the vehicle power supply, make sure that the “+12V”, “Earth” and “Ignition” wires cannot be interrupted by intermediate switches, as this could deactivate the automatic lowering function.
