LST-5C Satellite Communications Radio Terminal

LST-5C Satellite Communications Radio Terminal

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

SYSTEM PARAMETERS

The LST-5C is a MANPACK satellite comunications radio terminal which utilizes

Frequency: 210 - 317 MHz

either a log periodic (SE-77) or log conical-spiral antenna compact helix (WSC-3)

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 4.5 m from the SE-77 antenna and 9 m from the

WSC-3 antenna.

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

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

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

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

LWLR/DCA (Land Warrior Laser Rangefinder/Digital Compass Assembly)

SYSTEM PARAMETERS

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The LWLR/DCA mounts to the modular weapon and contains two lasers; the Laser

Type: Er:Glass (LRF)

Rangefinder (LRF) and the Boresight Light (BSL). The Laser Mandrel/Borelight is

Laser diode (BSL)

used to boresight the Thermal Weapon Sight to the various weapons systems they

Laser diode (Mandrel)

may be attached to.

Wavelength: 1533 nm (LRF)

655 nm (BSL)

635 nm (Mandrel)

HAZARD CONTROLS (to reduce or eliminate risk)

SYSTEM HAZARDS

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

The Laser Rangefinder utilizes a Class 1 laser and is considered safe. The Boresight Light

utilizes a Class 2 laser and is considered safe. The Mandrel/Borelight utilizes a Class 3a

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.

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

Do not permit personnel to look into the Mandrel/Borelight direct beam.

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

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