HAZARD CONTROLS (to reduce or eliminate risk)

SYSTEM HAZARDS

Power Density Levels (PDL) ....

This system is not able to produce potentially hazardous PDLs in excess of the safety

standard and is not subject to radiation protection control.

Hazard distance from antenna ....

Ensure personnel do not operate the radio with the antenna within 2.5 cm from the body.

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

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

utilizes 1.8 m diameter parabolic reflector antenna with the

22 W average

centerline 3.0 m above ground level.

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 30 m from the antenna.

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

The antenna feed horn and any open waveguide 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 equipment Technical Manual for other operator and/or maintenance hazards.
