VanLink Safety Considerations
For safety reasons Troll Systems does not offer control of masts. There are, however,
methods for implementing safety measures to prevent any damage to the antenna or
surrounding equipment by monitoring the mast’s position and locking out control when
the mast is down. Due to the number of unique vehicle configurations and mast controls
available this shall be considered an option that will require additional preparation and
information from the customer/installer prior to implementation. Currently it is the
operator’s responsibility to ensure that the antenna is clear from any obstructions before
enabling remote control for the studio.
Electrical Power/Shock Hazards
Always verify that electrical power is disconnected and that applicable safety procedures
have been followed before doing maintenance on any electrical/electronic equipment.
High voltage electrical energy is stored in some electrical equipment (electrolytic
capacitors, UPS batteries, etc.) even after the source of primary external power has been
disconnected. Always remove external power, deactivate equipment, or discharge the
potential to ground (when applicable) before working on the equipment.
If a high-potential insulation test is required, follow the procedures and precautions
outlined in the appropriate National Electrical Manufacturing Association (NEMA)
standards. Check with the area supervisor if unfamiliar with these standards, specific
equipment, or procedures.
When electrical troubleshooting of a system must be accomplished with power applied,
first verify that all personnel in the hazard area are advised, that the equipment is
tagged, and/or that an assistant is posted at the point of power control.
WARNING: Potentially lethal voltage/current is present throughout
many electrical installations. Maintenance personnel
shall employ positive power lockout devices and post all
required warning tags/signs when applicable to ensure
that no unauthorized application of power can occur
during maintenance. Failure to heed this warning could
result in serious injury or death by electrocution.
