SYSTEM HAZARDS

HAZARD CONTROLS (to reduce or eliminate risk)

Power Density Levels (PDL) ....

This system is not able to produce potentially hazardous PDLs in the main beam in

excess of the safety standard.

Open/cracked waveguides.......

The antenna feed and all open waveguides produce potentially hazardous PDLs to within

close proximity. Exclude personnel from these areas. Periodically inspect waveguides

for cracks or leaks and replace suspect waveguides.
