AN/PEQ-2A Target Pointer Illuminator/Aiming Light (TPIAL)

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

SYSTEM PARAMETERS

The AN/PEQ-2A is a target illuminator/aiming light.

Wavelength: 820 - 860 nm

SYSTEM HAZARDS

HAZARD CONTROLS (to reduce or eliminate risk)

Laser Classification ............

This system contains a Class 3b laser and requires an established laser safety program to

ensure its safe use. Develop a written Local Standing Operating Procedure (SOP) IAW

guidance provided in this TB.

Hazard distance .................

Do not permit personnel to view the laser from within the beam at distances less than 25 m

for unaided viewing or 160 m when viewing the laser through magnifying optical

instruments.

Ocular injury ....................

Avoid direct exposure to beam. Use protective eyewear that filter at 800-860 nm with

minimum OD of 0.5.

Outdoor range operations .....

Eliminate all specular surfaces (man made and natural) capable of producing potentially

hazardous reflections. Control unauthorized personnel access to controlled area. Use only

on an approved laser range or training area. Appoint a qualified Laser Range Safety

Officer. The "Safety Block" should be installed for all exercises, unless use of the

tactical/high power mode is required.

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

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