EN 50930-6:2010 is a technical standard that provides guidelines for the design and installation of television receive-only (TVRO) satellite dish antennas. This standard was developed by the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC) to ensure compatibility and reliability of TVRO systems in Europe.
Scope and Application
The scope of EN 50930-6:2010 encompasses various aspects related to the installation of TVRO systems, including the selection and placement of dish antennas, cable routing, grounding, and signal quality measurements. This standard applies to both residential and commercial installations, ensuring consistent performance across different usage scenarios.
Technical Requirements
EN 50930-6:2010 specifies the technical requirements that TVRO installations must adhere to. These requirements cover antenna size and type, antenna mounting structure, cable types and specifications, connectors, grounding methods, and shielding measures. Compliance with these requirements ensures optimal signal reception and minimizes signal interference from external sources.
Installation Best Practices
To meet the standards set forth in EN 50930-6:2010, installers should follow several best practices. Firstly, they should carefully select the appropriate dish antenna size based on geographic location and desired signal strength. Additionally, proper cable routing and grounding techniques should be employed to minimize signal loss and protect against lightning strikes. Regular signal quality checks using specialized equipment are also advised to ensure long-term system performance.
