SYSTEM PARAMETERS

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The AN/TSQ-70 is an air and ground transportable system that

Frequency: 2 30 MHz (AN/ARC-102)

provides air traffic control facilities for an airfield. This system

116 150 MHz (AN/ARC-73A)

consists of one AN/ARC-102 transceiver (13.7 m resonant length

225 400 MHz (AN/ARC-51BX)

wire antenna), three AN/ARC-73A transceivers (omnidirectional

blade/whip antenna) and three AN/ARC-51BX transceivers

Power: 200 W average; 400 W PEP (AN/ARC-102)

(omnidirectional blade/whip antenna).

25 W (AN/ARC-73A)

25 W (AN/ARC-51BX)

SYSTEM HAZARDS

HAZARD CONTROLS (to reduce or eliminate risk)

Power Density Levels (PDL) ....

This system is able to produce potentially hazardous PDLs in excess of the safety

standard. Establish a Nonionizing Radiation Protection Program (IAW guidelines

provided in this TB) .

Hazard distance from antenna ....

For the AN/ARC-102 radio set, exclude personnel to distances of 2.0 m from the

antenna. For the AN/ARC-73 radio set, exclude personnel to distances that are greater

than 1.0 m from the antenna.

RF shock/burn .....................

Observe standard RF shock precautions. Do not touch any system antenna when

energized.

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

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

hazards. Do not operate the AN/GRC-102 radio set in a free space radiating mode

inside of buildings.
