Tsunami MP.11a Antenna Installation Guide

Chapter 3. Installing the Antenna

PLANNING ANTENNA INSTALLATION

Plan the day for your outdoor antenna installation carefully. Do not install the antenna in wet or windy conditions, during a thunderstorm, or when the area in which the equipment is to be installed is covered with ice or snow.

The grounding system for the antenna mast, Tsunami MP.11a hardware, and surge arrestor should be installed before the cable from the antenna is connected to the surge arrestor. This protects your system against lightning strikes during installation.

Familiarize yourself with the antenna and the antenna-specific mounting instructions prior to climbing any roof or ladder. Installing and testing all equipment before beginning the actual rooftop installation will help you to determine whether all required equipment and items are available and are functioning properly.

To verify the equipment prior to installation, you may need to follow the guidelines as described in the documentation that comes with the Tsunami MP.11a first.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Read this section carefully before beginning the installation. All of the following requirements should be satisfied prior to starting installation of your outdoor antennas.

DANGER!

The Tsunami outdoor antennas are intended for mounting on a roof, or on the side of a building. Installation shall not be attempted by someone who is not trained or experienced in this type of work. The antenna has to be installed by a suitably trained professional installation technician. The site prerequisites have to be checked by a person familiar with the national electrical code, and other regulations governing this type of installation.

Outdoor antennas and antenna cables are electrical conductors. Transients or electrostatic discharges that may occur at the antenna (for example a lightning strike during thunderstorms) may damage your electronic equipment and cause personal injury or death to persons touching the exposed metal connectors of the antenna cable.

When installing, disconnecting or replacing one of the cabling components, you must ensure at all times that each exposed metal connectors of the antenna cabling system will be grounded locally during the work.

Do not install this antenna where there is any possibility of contact with high-voltage arc-over from power cables or service drops to buildings. The antenna, supporting mast or tower must not be close to any power lines during installation, removal or in the event of part of the system should accidentally fail. Apply a ‘Danger’ label to a plainly visible area of the antenna support structure.

Do not climb rooftops in wet or windy conditions, during a thunderstorm or when the area where the equipment will be installed is covered with ice or snow.

Do not touch antennas, surge arrestors and antenna cables during a thunderstorm.

The location where you will install the antenna(s) must be at a safe distance from power lines or telephone lines. The safe distance should be at least twice the height of the antenna mast plus the height of the antenna.
