Intended use
The AVH 06 is a Band III TV antenna. The antenna is solely designed for the limited purpose of receiving terrestrial TV and DAB+
signals and as indoor antennas. Under the terms of DIN 4131, an indoor antenna is defi ned as an antenna if the mast length does not
exceed 6 meters and if its fi xed end moment is at 1,650 Nm maximum. Any other use or non-observance of these instructions und
der den Geräten beiliegenden Dokumentation will result in the loss of the warranty and guarantee. The following circumstances lead
to the loss of warranty and liability claims against the manufacturer:
►Improper installation
►Use of unlisted fixing material, which means that mechanical safety cannot be guaranteed
►Structural changes or interventions in the antenna, which can endanger both the mechanical and electrical as well as the func-
tional safety
►disregarding the assembly and safety instructions in this manual
Safety Instructions
ATTENTION! DANGER FOR LIFE!
Do not under any circumstances mount an antenna under power lines. Touching power supply lines with parts of your
body, with antenna parts or tools may cause an electrical shock or serious burns.
Ground the antenna installation according to DIN EN 60728-11!

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 responsability for yourself and other people. For this reason, the instal-
lation must be executed by an electrician (expert in his/her trade). In order to assist you, some important safety instructions have
been compiled in the following. However, these instructions are not exhaustive, as we are not aware of the local conditions.
►Do not use the antenna for purposes other than intended by the manufacturer.
►Only use the components as prescribed by the manufacturer and do not modify them.
►When selecting the antenna site, take account of the building‘s structural characteristics. Installation on the edge of
cylindrical structures could lead to increased wind loads and vibration stress according to DIN 1055, part 4, DIN 4131.
Non-observance of these instructions may cause exceeding of the load limit or the vibration resistance.
►Do not mount the antenna on buildings with rooftops made of easily infl ammable materials (e.g. straw, reed or
similar materials).
►Only step on fi rm, dry rooftops and protect yourself against falling down
►To ensure safety, ladders, scaoldings, safety belts etc. must be in good structural order.
►Passers-by must not be endangered by falling objects. Secure the work/danger area!
►Ensure that the technical values (e.g. wind load) of the antenna mast are not exceed. Consult the manufacturer
if you do not know these values. See „Suitable Kathrein masts“ on page 4 for an overview of the masts oered by
KATHREIN Digital Systems.
►Mount the antenna mast on solid ground only (walls, concrete, rafters) using the clamps, dowels and screws recom-
mended by the manufacturer
►Immediately leave the roof in case of a thunderstorm!
Mast installation and mast calculation
•Make sure masts is in vertical position when installing 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 fulfi ll these requirements. See
„Suitable Kathrein masts“ on page 4 for an overview of the
masts oered by KATHREIN Digital Systems.
•The clamping range of the AVH 06 masting clamps is 22 to
55 mm
•If the mast is to be mounted on a roof, at least 1/6 of its length
must be clamped
•Make sure that the mast holders (e.g. clamps) are mounted on
solid ground (wood, concrete, walls)
Never exceed the maximum load capacity of the
mast or clamps when mounting several antennas
on the mast.
The bending moment aects the mast on the
upper attachment point for all antennas. The wind
load on the mast must be included in the calcula-
tion.
The overall bending moment is not to exceed the
maximum permitted bending moment of the mast
and must not be greater than 1,650 Nm. If the
bending moment is greater, a static engineer is
required to provide verification of the transfer of
forces into the structure of the building.

Antenna installation
1. Unpacking the antenna
2. Turn the rods by 90°, push them in the middle (observe
marking) and tighten the screws
3. Dipole mounting (Position according to picture)
4. Connect the cable to the F-socket, put the weather
protection sleeve on
The antenna can also be mounted horizontally. For this purpose the mast clamp must be turned by 90°.
