16 Safety Information
DANGER
In some cases, work in the vicinity of powerful
radiation sources can be a risk to your life.
Be aware that persons with electronic implants
(e.g. cardiac pacemakers) are subject to
particular dangers in some cases.
Observe the local safety regulations of the
facility operation.
Observe the operating instructions for
equipment, which is used to generate, conduct,
or consume electromagnetic energy.
Be aware that secondary radiators (e.g.
reflective objects such as a metallic fence) can
cause a local amplification of the field.
Be aware that the field strength in proximity to
radiators increases proportionally to the inverse
cube of the distance. This means that
enormous field strengths can result in the
immediate vicinity of small radiation sources
(e.g. leak in wave guides, inductive ovens)
Field strength measuring devices can underrate
pulsed signals. Particularly with radar signals,
significant measurement errors can arise.
All field strength measuring devices have a
limited specified frequency range. Fields with
spectral components outside of this frequency
range are generally incorrectly evaluated and
tend to be underrated. Before using field
strength measuring devices, you should thus be
certain that all field components to be measured
lie in the specified frequency range of the
measuring device.
