Warning
The SAILOR radio set generates electromagnetic RF (radio frequency) energy when transmitting. To ensure that no
personnel will be exposed to excessive amounts of RF-energy and to avoid health hazards from excessive exposure
to RF energy, the following safety distances must be followed:
Antenna Safety distance
150W Calculated: 1.71 m or 5.7 feet
250W Calculated: 2.21 m or 7.3 feet
500W Calculated: 3.12 m or 10.3 feet
Calculations cover a whip antenna with a maximum gain of 3dBi, worst case frequency (30 MHz), full power and
100% duty cycle (transmitter always on) considering the most conservative limits mentioned in:
FCC OET Bulletin 65 (1997)
Canada RSS102 (2010)
Canada Safety Code 6 (2015)
Installation Example for 150W
1. A whip antenna with a maximum gain of 3 dBi must be mounted at least 12.3 ft. (3.71m) above the highest
deck where people may be staying during continuous radio transmissions. The distance is to be measured
vertically from the lowest point of the antenna. This provides the minimum separation distance which is in
compliance with RF exposure requirements and is based on the MPE radius of 5.7 feet (1.71 m) plus the 6.6 ft.
(2.0 m) height of an adult.
2. On vessels that cannot fulfi ll requirements in item 1, the antenna must be mounted so that the lowest point of
the antenna is at least 5.7 feet (1.71m) vertically above the heads of people on deck and all persons must be
outside the 5.7 feet MPE radius during radio transmission.
• Always mount the antenna at least 5.7 feet from possible human accessNever touch the antenna when
transmitting.
• Never touch the antenna when transmitting.
• Use only authorized T&T accessories.
• Only allow trained and certifi ed operators knowing about RF-energy and hazards to operate the radio.
3. If the antenna has to be placed in public areas or near people with no awareness of the radio transmission, the
antenna must be placed at an even greater distance. Consult the appropriate standard for exact limits, depending
on national specifi cations.
Failure to observe any of these warnings may cause RF exposure exceeding above mentioned limits or create dan-
gerous conditions..
