VanLink Safety Considerations

For safety reasons Troll Systems does not offer control of masts. There are, however, methods for implementing safety measures to prevent any damage to the antenna or surrounding equipment by monitoring the mast’s position and locking out control when the mast is down. Due to the number of unique vehicle configurations and mast controls available this shall be considered an option that will require additional preparation and information from the customer/installer prior to implementation. Currently it is the operator’s responsibility to ensure that the antenna is clear from any obstructions before enabling remote control for the studio.

Electrical Power/Shock Hazards

WARNING: Potentially lethal voltage/current is present throughout many electrical installations. Maintenance personnel shall employ positive power lockout devices and post all required warning tags/signs when applicable to ensure that no unauthorized application of power can occur during maintenance. Failure to heed this warning could result in serious injury or death by electrocution.

Always verify that electrical power is disconnected and that applicable safety procedures have been followed before doing maintenance on any electrical/electronic equipment. High voltage electrical energy is stored in some electrical equipment (electrolytic capacitors, UPS batteries, etc.) even after the source of primary external power has been disconnected. Always remove external power, deactivate equipment, or discharge the potential to ground (when applicable) before working on the equipment.

If a high-potential insulation test is required, follow the procedures and precautions outlined in the appropriate National Electrical Manufacturing Association (NEMA) standards. Check with the area supervisor if unfamiliar with these standards, specific equipment, or procedures.

When electrical troubleshooting of a system must be accomplished with power applied, first verify that all personnel in the hazard area are advised, that the equipment is tagged, and/or that an assistant is posted at the point of power control.
