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 ....

In the C Band, exclude personnel to distances of 50 cm from the antenna feed aperture.

In the Ku Band, exclude personnel to distances of 25 cm from the antenna feed aperture.

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.

AN/TSQ-198 Tactical Terminal Control System (TTCS)

SYSTEM PARAMETERS

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The AN/TSQ-198 is a mobile air traffic control facility which provides air

Frequency: 116 - 150 MHz/

traffic services at remote landing, drop, and pick-up zones. The

225 - 400 MHz (AN/VRC -83)

communications package to be utilized is the AN/GRC-206 and is

2 - 30 MHz (AN/VRC-101)

mounted on a HMMWV. This system consists of two AN/VRC-83

30 88 MHz (AN/VRS-91)

radios, one AN/VRC-101 radio, and one AN/VRS-91 radio.

Power: 30 W PEP (AN/VRC-83)

150 W PEP (AN/VRC-101)

50 W PEP (AN/VRS-91)
