RF Radiation Measurement

To measure the Indoor SSPA radiation levels:
1. Adjust the Indoor SSPA for rated power.
2. Using a radiation probe, measure the highest level of RF leakage around the amplifier, at less
then 12 inches away from any point source.
3. Record the measured value(s). Measured levels should be less then 1mW/cm². If this value is
exceeded. Shut down the Indoor SSPA and tighten the joints or install grounding or gaskets to
eliminate leakage.
WARNING! IF ANY RF RADIATION LEVELS ARE TO BE MEASURED, CHECK FOR
RF LEAKAGE USING THE STEPS ABOVE.
