with the power cable removed. To avoid injuries, always disconnect power and discharge
circuits before touching them.
Install and use the antenna with care
Thrane & Thrane A/S assumes no liability for any damage caused by the antenna falling off the
vehicle or stressing the mounting base. It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure a safe
and correct installation of the antenna. The instructions in this manual are only guidelines.
Service
User access to the interior of the system units is not allowed. Only a technician authorized by
Cobham SATCOM may perform service - failure to comply with this rule will void the warranty.
Microwave radiation hazards
During transmission the antenna radiates Microwave Power.This radiation may be hazardous to
humans close to the antenna. During transmission, make sure that nobody gets closer than the
recommended minimum safety distance.
The minimum safe distance applies in a cylinder between the reflector and satellite, parallel
with the feed arm (see Figure 1 below). No hazard exists at the back of the reflector. The safe
distance varies with the BUC version and the reflector size, see T
able 1 on the next page.
WARNING! This device emits radio frequency energy. Do not place
your head or other body parts between transmitting feed horn and
reflector when the system is operational. Also do not place any objects
between feed horn and reflector, as the object may reflect the signal in a
different direction than the focal line.
