HAZARD CONTROLS (to reduce or eliminate risk)

SYSTEM HAZARDS

Power Density Levels (PDL) ....

This system is not able to produce potentially hazardous PDLs in excess of the safety

standard in the main beam.

Open/cracked waveguides .......

The area between the feed and the reflector and any open waveguide produce potentially

hazardous PDLs. Periodically inspect waveguides for cracks or leaks and replace

suspect waveguides.

Other.................................

Consult the equipment Technical Manual for other operator and/or maintenance hazards.
