OUTDOOR INSTALLATION WARNING

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:

LIVES MAY BE AT RISK! Carefully observe these instructions and any special instructions
that are included with the equipment you are installing.

IMPORTANT: Look over the site before beginning any installation, and anticipate
possible hazards, especially these.

CONTACTING POWER LINES CAN BE LETHAL.

Make sure no power lines are anywhere where
possible contact can be made. Antennas, masts,
towers, guy wires or cables may lean or fall and
contact these lines. People may be injured or killed
if they are touching or holding any part of equipment
when it contacts electric lines. Make sure there is NO
possibility that equipment or personnel can come in
contact directly or indirectly with power lines.

Assume all overhead lines are power lines.

The horizontal distance from a tower, mast or antenna to the nearest power line should be
at least twice the total length of the mast/antenna combination. This will ensure that the
mast will not contact power if it falls either during installation or later.

TO AVOID FALLING, USE SAFE PROCEDURES WHEN WORKING AT HEIGHTS

ABOVE GROUND.

• Select equipment locations that will allow safe, simple equipment installation.

• Don’t work alone. A friend or co-worker can save your life if an accident hap-

pens.

• Use approved non-conducting lasers and other safety equipment. Make sure all

equipment is in good repair.

• If a tower or mast begins falling, don’t attempt to catch it. Stand back and let

it fall.

• If anything such as a wire or mast does come in contact with a power line,

DON’T TOUCH IT OR ATTEMPT TO MOVE IT. Instead, save your life by call-

ing the power company.

• Don’t attempt to erect antennas or towers on windy days.

MAKE SURE ALL TOWERS AND MASTS ARE SECURELY GROUNDED, AND
ELECTRICAL CABLES CONNECTED TO ANTENNAS HAVE LIGHTNING ARRESTORS.

This will help prevent re damage or human injury in case of lightning, static build-up, or
short circuit within equipment connected to the antenna.

• The base of the antenna mast or tower must be connected directly to the

building protective ground or to one or more approved grounding rods, using 1

OAWG ground wire and corrosion-resistant connectors.

• Refer to the National Electrical Code for grounding details.

• Lightning arrestors for antenna feed coaxial cables are available from Hyper-

Link Technologies, Inc.

IF A PERSON COMES IN CONTACT WITH ELECTRICAL POWER, AND CANNOT
MOVE:

• DON’T TOUCH THAT PERSON, OR YOU MAY BE ELECTROCUTED.

• Use a non-conductive dry board, stick or rope to push or drag them so they no

longer are in contact with electrical power.

• Once they are no longer contacting electrical power, administer CPR if you are

certified, and make sure that emergency medical aid has been requested.
