SAFETY NOTICES
OPERATOR SAFETY
Watch for the rotating antenna:
The radar antenna will start to rotate without notice. For your safety, keep away from
the area in the vicinity of the radar antenna.
Be aware of RF Radiation Hazard:
The active radar antenna radiates powerful RF energy. Continuous exposure to RF
energy may cause harmful effects to the human body. It also causes Cardiac
Pacemaker to malfunction. A person who uses a Cardiac Pacemaker should under no
circumstances be exposed to RF radiation.
Most countries accept that RF power density levels below 100 W/m
2
cause no
significant RF hazard.

12 KW / 6 ft Aerial 1.84 m 5.81 m
Dangerous HIGH voltage inside:
Life threatening high voltage is present in the antenna and display units. This high
voltage may be present even after the power switch has been turned off. The high
voltage circuits are provided with protection covers and warning labels to avoid
unintentional contact with these sections. For safety reasons, switch the power off
before accessing the internal circuitry and discharge any residual voltages in
capacitors by an appropriate method. Only qualified personnel should attempt these
maintenance procedures.

MAINTENANCE SAFETY
Beware of residual high voltages:
High voltages may remain in the capacitors and the anode cap on the Cathode Ray
Tube several minutes after you have turned the power switch off. Wait at least five
minutes or discharge them to ground before starting your inspection.
Make sure the main power supply is OFF:
To prevent an electrical injury due to erroneous power switching, make sure that the
main power supply and the system power switch are both OFF. Also attach a safety
label showing that service is in progress.
Avoid inhaling dust:
The dust could be a temporary health hazard. When cleaning inside of the equipment,
avoid inhaling the dust.
Avoid static electricity:
Take care not to damage the ESDs (Electrostatic Sensitive Devices) due to static
electricity from carpet and cloths.
DISCLAIMER
KODEN assumes no liability for any errors, omissions, damages, or accidents
resulting from the interpretation of the supplied documentations.
