Remote Antenna; Outdoor Installation Warnings - Honeywell XYR 6000 Quick Start Manual

If your model has the integral straight antenna (Figure 18) you can adjust its position by rotating the
transmitter housing. (See page 11.) Typically, pointed straight up gives best performance but your
installation may vary.

Outdoor installation warnings

WARNING
LIVES MAY BE AT RISK! Carefully observe these instructions and any special instructions
that are included with the equipment you are installing.
WARNING
Contacting power lines can be lethal.
Look over the site before beginning any installation, and anticipate possible hazards,
especially these:
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.
WARNING
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 happens.
Use approved non-conducting ladders 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 calling the power company.
Don't attempt to erect antennas or towers on windy days.
