• The installation operations described here assume good craftsmanship capabilities and knowledge of the behaviour of materials under the effects of wind. Therefore if you do not possess the required skills, have this work performed by a specialist . The person doing the work must wear strong non-slip footwear, must not be liable to dizziness, must be able to move around safely on the roof and have a secure standing and attachment position. (if necessary, wear a safety harness when on the roof). Make sure that the roof is able to bear your weight. Never walk on fragile or unstable surfaces! In case of doubt, contact a qualiÞ ed specialist dealer or specialist rooÞ ng contractor to Þ nd an appropriate installation location. Do not go on to roofs or other high places without a correctly attached safety harness that is in good condition. Otherwise use a work platform. Ladders or other means of climbing must be in faultless condition (dry, clean and non-slip). Never build any irresponsible scrambling towers! If there is a risk that passers-by may be injured by items falling from above during installation, you must close off the risk area using barriers! Make sure that no-one is underneath the installation location. Risk of death or injury due to falling from the roof, falling through the roof and falling parts, plus the possibility of damage to the roof.

• The respective national safety regulations and current standards such as DIN EN 60728-11 should be complied with. Any other use or failure to comply with these instructions will result in voiding of warranty coverage. Selecting the installation site It is essential to select the correct installation site. This determines whether the parabolic antenna can be erected safely and perform to its optimum capabilities. When selecting the installation site, take account of special features of the structure of the building. If the installation is at the edge of the roof or the building or on a cylindrical structure, DIN 1055, parts 4 and 4131 speciÞ es the increased wind and vibration loadings that should be allowed for. The dynamic properties of the antenna and the structure can interact and cause problems. Failure to comply can result in excessive susceptibility to vibration. Basic Safety Precautions Before you install, connect or use the parabolic antenna, make sure that you comply with the instructions in this manual If you disregard these instructions, malfunctions may arise, creating risks to your life and health, defects in the installation or the connection may cause damage to the antenna or to the attachment point, the manufacturer will not accept liability for any resulting malfunctions or damage! Under no circumstances install antennas in the vicinity of overhead power cables, otherwise the absolutely essential clearance requirements may no longer be satisÞ ed. Maintain a clearance of at least 1 m from all other electrical equip- ment in all directions! If you or metal parts of the antenna touch any electrical device there is a serious risk of a fatal electric shock!

• Never work on antenna systems during a thunderstorm or when a thunderstorm is approaching. There is a risk of a fatal electric shock! Antenna grounding / lightning protection Because of the serious consequences if the work is not done properly, grounding and lightning protection work may be performed only by specially trained electricians. Never perform grounding and lightning protection work if you are not a specialist with the appropriate skills! The antenna must be erected to DIN EN 60728-11 and grounded as speciÞ ed.3 / 4 b) Pre-setting the elevation angle

1. Adjust the reß ector angle by turning the nuts C

c) Installation of the feed system clamp ZAS 124

1. Install the feed system clamp as described in the user instructions for the ZAS 124

e) Alignment of the antenna After fully installing the antenna (including the LNB), use a suitable satellite measurement receiver (e.g. MSK 115, MSK 125 or MSK 200) for Þ ne alignment of the antenna. Kathrein recommends the use of the azimuth Þ ne tuning device ZAS 189 (BN 23710017) for Þ ne alignment of the azimuth angle. Installation a) Installation sequence

1. First attach the azimuth / elevation clamp ZAS 180 to the mast/

sub mast/wall bracket (as described in the user instructions for the ZAS 180)

2. Slot the antenna on to the pre-erected azimuth / elevation

3. Tighten the pre-installed elevation screw A on the antenna

4. Gently tighten the four centring screws B

d) Installation of the feed system(s) (LNB)

1. Install the LNBs as described in the user instructions for the respective LNBs

The setting of the angle of inclination of the LNB clamp for multifeed applications is described in the user instructions for the ZAS 124.Technical Specifi cations All Þ gures are typical values!
