CO2 Laser Radar

CO2 Laser Radar

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

SYSTEM PARAMETERS

The CO2 Laser Radar is mounted on an aircraft and operates in the far-infrared

Type: CO2

region.

SYSTEM HAZARDS

HAZARD CONTROLS (to reduce or eliminate risk)

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

The C02 laser radar system is considered safe. The laser wavelength is absorbed at the

surface of most materials, such as glass or plastic. It is also absorbed at the surface of the

eye or skin.

Laser Hazard distance ..........

Do not expose unprotected eyes or skin for durations longer than; one second at distances

less than 90 m, five seconds at distances less between 90 and 210 m, and ten seconds at

distances between 210 and 350 m.

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

The CO2 laser radar is not a retinal burn hazard.

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

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

Collins HF-8014A Radio Set

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

SYSTEM PARAMETERS

The Collins HF-8014A is a HF radio set that utilizes a whip or long wire

Frequency: 2 - 30 MHz

Power: 1 kW

antenna.

HAZARD CONTROLS (to reduce or eliminate risk)

SYSTEM HAZARDS

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...

Exclude personnel to a distance of 1.5 m from either antenna.

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

Observe standard RF shock precautions. Do not touch antenna when energized.

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

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