1.1 For Your Safety
Caution Users and installers should note that the mains power supply is the primary disconnect
device.
Warning Use extreme care when installing antennas near power lines.
Warning Use extreme care when working at heights.
Caution When the system is operational, avoid standing directly in front of the antenna. Strong
RF fields are present when the transmitter is on. The Outdoor Unit (ODU) must not be
deployed in a location where it is possible for people to stand or walk inadvertently in front of
the antenna.
Warning The OS-Gemini Outdoor unit must be properly grounded to protect against lightning. It
is the user’s responsibility to install the equipment in accordance with Section 810 of the
National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70-1984 or Section 54 of the Canadian Electrical Code.
These codes describe correct installation procedures for grounding the outdoor unit, mast,
lead-in wire and discharge unit, size of grounding conductors and connection requirements for
grounding electrodes. It is recommended that installation of the outdoor unit be contracted to a
professional installer.
Caution Safety will be compromised if external quality cables are not used for connections that
will be exposed to the weather.
Caution Safety will be compromised if a different power supply is used than the one supplied
by Orthogon as part of the system.
