WARNINGS
IMPORTANT NOTE
For correct operation, please, read this instruction manual
carefully, before operating the equipment.
HIGH VOLTAGE
Radar equipment requires the use of high voltages. This can cause injury, or
loss of life. Danger exists only when the units are opened, exposing internal
circuits, as when servicing the equipment. You do not face any danger during
normal operation. The SRT X-Band Radar System has been carefully designed
to protect personnel from possible injury from high voltages at normal operation.
When inspecting or servicing the equipment, nevertheless, it is recommended
that the Line Switch to left open, as an added protection.
Although every effort has been made to eliminate danger to personnel, no
responsibility is accepted for any injury or loss of life suffered in connection with
the equipment.
RADIO-FREQUENCY RADIATION
Harmful effects (particularly to the eyes) may be caused by exposure of any
part of the human body to radio-frequency mean power densities. Hazard
distances at which power densities of 100 W/ m², 50 W/ m² and 10 W/m² exist,
are given in the following table
Configuration Distance to 100 W/
m² point [m]
Distance to 50 W/
m² point [m]
Distance to 10 W/ m²
point [m]
12 kW Transceiver + 6'X Band
Antenna (ANT6X-001)
- 0,15 0,6
12 kW Transceiver + 9'X Band
Antenna (ANT9X-001)
- - 0,5
12 kW Transceiver + 12'X Band
Antenna (ANT12X-001)
- - 0,35
25 kW Transceiver + 6'X Band
Antenna (ANT6X-001)
0,1 0,2 1,3
25 kW Transceiver + 9'X Band
Antenna (ANT9X-001)
- 0,1 1,0
25 kW Transceiver + 12'X Band
Antenna (ANT12X-001)
- 0,05 0,9
Note :
12 KW transceiver: SRT/12-002 - SRT/12-003.
25 KW transceiver: SRT/25-002 - SRT/25-003 or SRT/PED-001 / SRT/PED-002 with 25KW Dowmast transceiver,
The system is however designed too always disable the microwave radiation
when the antenna is not rotating.
