SAFETY NOTICES
This radar equipment must be installed and operated in accordance with the
instructions contained in this manual. Failure to do so can result in personal
injury and/or navigational inaccuracies. In particular:
1. HIGH VOLTAGE. The CRT display unit and scanner unit contain high
voltages. Adjustments require specialised service procedures and tools only
available to qualified service technicians – there are no user serviceable parts or
adjustments.
The operator should never remove the display unit cover or attempt to
service the equipment. If the safety seal fitted across one of the display cover
fixing screws is damaged or missing, contact a qualified service technician
before the equipment is powered.
2. X-RAYS. X-Rays are generated by this equipment. The acceleration voltage
must not exceed 12 kV. No external access is provided to the controls which
affect this voltage - see note 1 above.
3. ELECTROMAGNETIC ENERGY. The radar scanner transmits
electromagnetic energy. It is important that the radar is turned off whenever
personnel are required to come close to the scanner to perform work on the
scanner assembly or associated equipment.
It is recommended that the radar scanner is mounted out of range of personnel
(above head height).
Avoid looking directly at the antenna as your eyes are the most sensitive part of
the body to electromagnetic energy.
When properly installed and operated, the use of this radar will conform to the
requirements of ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 Standard for Safety Levels with
Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3Hz
to 300 GHz and NRPB, Board Statement on Restrictions on Human Exposure
to Static and Time Varying Electromagnetic Fields and Radiation. Doc NRPB,
No. 5 (1993)
4. NAVIGATION AID. This radar/chartplotter unit is only an aid to
navigation. Its accuracy can be affected by many factors, including equipment
failure or defects, environmental conditions, and improper handling or use. It is
