SYSTEM HAZARDS

HAZARD CONTROLS (to reduce or eliminate risk)

Power Density Levels (PDL) ....

When in the scanning mode, this system is not able to produce potentially hazardous

PDLs in excess of the safety standard. In the nonscanning mode, this system is capable

of producing 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 ....

When operating in the nonscanning mode, exclude personnel to a distance of 1.6 m from

the antenna. Prohibit personnel in front of the radome to a distance of 2.0 m from the

antenna. Restrict ground testing to isolated areas.
