    The minimum safety distance is 1 m to the side and above the antenna when the EXPLORER 727 is powered. The safety distance of 1 m does not apply directly below the antenna, as the radiation forms a hemisphere above the antenna.
  • Page 5 Power supply The voltage range is 10.5 - 32 V DC; 14 A - 5.5 A. Be aware of high start-up peak current: 20 A@24 V, 5 ms. Do not operate in an explosive atmosphere Do not operate the equipment in the presence of flammable gases or fumes. Operation of any electrical equipment in such an environment constitutes a definite safety hazard.
