Safety instructions - important notes
Proper installation and safety
Fundamental information
A crucial safety factor is proper performance of installation and electrical connection work, and the specified alignment of the turntable in the direction of travel (park position), see also installation and connection.
Heed as precisely as possible the installation conditions and steps described.
Modifications to the electrical installations in the vehicle should only be carried out by a specialist in vehicle electrics.
Do not make any individual changes to the turntable.
Sealing glue
The turntable is mounted on the roof of the vehicle by glueing and is secured by additional screws.
Note that the setting of the sealing glue depends on the temperature. It reaches its final strength after approximately five days. During installation work, follow the processing and safety instructions listed in the Sikaflex® 291 data sheet.
Road Traffic Licensing Regulations (StVZO)
The applicable regulations of the StVZO must be heeded with fixed installation of the turntable on a vehicle which drives on public highways.
In particular, this applies to §§ 19/2; 30 C; 32 (2) and the EC directive 74/483 EEC.
Briefly, they state that an entry in the vehicle documentation is not necessary if the antenna unit is not at a height of more than 2 m when the vehicle is laden and the antenna unit does not protrude outside 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 an extended antenna. The driver bears sole responsibility for the condition of the superstructure and external fittings!
Cable
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 have tied the cables with wire or something similar, disentangle this in order to prevent smouldering!
