BENDIX Model RDR 160 (commercial)

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

SYSTEM PARAMETERS

The RDR-160 is an airborne weather radar set for fixed wing aircraft. It can be used

with either a 25 or 30 cm parabolic reflector dish antenna.

HAZARD CONTROLS (to reduce or eliminate risk)

SYSTEM HAZARDS

Power Density Levels (PDL) ....

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 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 nonscanning mode and using the 25 cm antenna, exclude personnel to a distance

of 75 cm from the dish antenna. In the nonscanning and using the 30 cm antenna,

exclude personnel to a distance of 90 cm from the dish antenna.

Open/cracked waveguides ........

All open waveguides and feed horn outputs produce potentially hazardous PDLs.

Exclude personnel from this area and do no permit operation of this system with any

cracked, broken or open waveguide.

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

Consult the manufacturer's equipment Technical Manual for other operator and/or

maintenance hazards.
