WARNING
CAUTION
Warning, Caution
Wear a safety belt and hard hat when working on the antenna unit.
Serious injury or death can result if someone falls from the radar antenna mast.
Radio Frequency Radiation Hazard
The radar antenna emits electromagnetic radio frequency (RF) energy which can be
harmful, particularly to your eyes. Never look directly into the antenna aperture from a close distance
while the radar is in operation or expose yourself to the transmitting antenna at a close distance.
Distances at which RF radiation level of 100, 50 and 10 W/m
If the antenna unit is installed at a close distance in front of the wheel house, your administration may
require halt of transmission within a certain sector of antenna revolution. See the installation manual
for how to manage blind sectors.
