IMPORTANT
SAFEGUARDS
Your antenna
rotator
unit, consisting
of a control
and a drive, has been engineered
and manufactured
to assure
your personal
safety, but improper
installation
or abuse
of this unit, or the antenna
connected
to it, can
result
in potential
electrical
shock
or fire
hazards.
In order
not to defeat
the safeguards
incorporated
in this unit, observe
the following
basic rules for its installation,
use and servicing.
1.. An outside
antenna
system
should
not be located
in the vicinity
of overhead
power
lines or other
electric
light or power
circuits,
or where
it can fall into such power
lines
or circuits.
When
installing
an outside
antenna
system,
extreme
care should
be taken
to keep from touching
such power
lines
or circuits
as contact
with them
might
be fatal.
2o tf the drive
unit is installed
on an outdoor
antenna,
be sure the antenna
system
is grounded
so as
to provide
some
protection
against
voltage
surges
and built-up
static
charges.
Section
810 of the
National
Electrical
Code,
ANSI/NFPA70,
or CSA C22ol
Sections
10, 16, and 54, of the Canadian
Electrical
Code,
provides
information
with respect
to proper
grounding
of the mast
and supporting
structure,
grounding
of the antenna
lead-in
wire and drive-unit
to control-unit
interconnecting
cables
to an antenna
discharge
unit,
size of grounding
conductors,
location
of antenna-discharge
unit,
connection
to grounding
electrodes,
and requirements
for the grounding
electrode.
See separate
enclosed
grounding
code on page 26.
3. "four control
is provided
with ventilation
openings
to allow
heat generated
during
operation
to be
released,
If these openings
are blocked,
heat build-up
can cause failure
of the control
and external
damage_ Therefore:
• Never' block the ventilation
slots by placing
it on a bed, sofa,
rug, etc.
• Never place
in a "built-in"
enclosure
unless
proper
ventilation
is provided;
• Never cover the openings
with cloth or other
material;
- Never place
near or over radiators,
heat registers,
amplifiers,
or other
heat sources,
4.'four
control
may be equipped
with a polarized
AC line plug (one blade
of the plug is wider
than
the other).
This safety
feature
allows
the plug to fit into the power
outlet
only one way. Should
you
be unable
to insert
the plug fully
into the outlet,
try reversing
the plug.
Should
it still fail to fit,
contact
your
electrician
to replace
your
obsolete
outleL
Do not defeat
the safety
purpose
of the
polarized
plug.
5. Operate
the control
only from
an A.C_ power
source
as indicated
on the bottom
of the control,.
Do not use DoC.
6. Overloaded
AC outlets
and extension
cords
are dangerous,
and so are frayed
power
cords
and
broken
plugs° They
may result in a shock
or fire hazard.
Unplug
the control
and call your' service
technician
for replacement.
7._Do not allow
anything
to rest on or roll over the
power
cord, and do not place
the control
where
power' cord is subject
to traffic
or' abuse.
Pay particular
attention
to the cord at the plug and the point
where
it exists
from the control
unit. This may result
in a shock
or fire hazard.
