General safety instructions
Please read the following safety instructions carefully and thoroughly before you
start installing the antenna, and keep observing them during the installation.
The installation of the antenna demands a high degree of responsibility for yourself and
other people. For this reason, the installation must be executed by an electrician (expert
on his/her trade).
In order to assist you, some important safety instructions have been compiled in the fol-
lowing. However, these instructions are not exhaustive, as we are not aware of the local
conditions.
1. Do not use the antenne for purposes other than intended by the manufacturer.
2. Only use the components as prescribed by the manufacturer and do not modify
them.
3. ATTENTION! DANGER FOR LIFE!
4. When selecting the antenna site, you must consider the structural characteristics of
the building. Installation on the edge of rooftops or buildings and on cylindrical struc-
tures could lead to increased wind loads and vibration stress according to DIN 1055,
part 4, or DIN 4131. Non-observance of these instructions may cause exceeding of the
load limit or the vibration resistance.
Do never mount an antenna under power supply
lines! Touching power supply lines with parts of
your body, with antenna parts or tools may cause
an electrical shock or serious burns.
5. Do not install the antenna on buildings with easily in ammable materials as rooftop, such as straw, reed or similar materials.
6. Only step on rm, dry rooftops and protect yourself against falling down.
7. Ladders, scaffoldings, safety belts etc. must be in good order.
8. Passers-by must not be endangered by falling objects. Secure the work/danger area.
9. Mind that the technical values (e.g. wind load) of the antenna mast are not exceeded. Refer to the manufacturer if you do not know
these values. Find an overview of the masts offered by Kathrein on the last page.
10. Mount the antenna mast on solid ground only (walls, concrete, rafters) using the clamps, dowels and screws recommended by the
manufacturer.
11. Immediately leave the roof in case of a thunderstorm!
12. Ground the antenna installation according to EN 50083-1.
Notice:
The OLYMPIA UHF antennas were designed solely for the limited purpose of receiving terrestrial TV signals and as indoor an-
tennas. Under the terms of DIN 4131, an antenna is reckoned an indoor antenna if the mast length does not exceed 6 metres
and if the torque needed for screwing the antenna is at 1,650 Nm at maximum.
Mast installation and mast calculation (Fig. 1)
- Make sure that the mast is in vertical position when mounting it
- Only use masts or standpipes specially designed for antenna installation. Other tubes mostly do not have the necessary stability to
withstand heavy wind or other climatical situations. Kathrein-masts and clamps ful l these requirements. Find an overview of the masts
provided by Kathrein on the last page
- The clamping range of the mast clamp of the OLYMPIA antennas is from 22 mm to 60 mm
- If the mast is to be mounted on a roof, you have to clamp at least 1/6 of its length
- Mind that the mast holders (e.g. clamps) are mounted on solid ground (wood, concrete, walls)
