Argus Radar - Installation and service manual
988-10187-004 5
WARNINGS
HIGH VOLTAGE
Radar equipment includes high voltage that can cause injury or loss of life.
Danger exists only when the units are opened for service, exposing internal
circuits. The ARGUS Radar has been carefully designed to protect personnel
from possible injury from high voltages.
Nevertheless, it is recommended that the Main Power Line shall always be OFF
as an added protection when inspecting or servicing the equipment.
Although every effort has been made to eliminate danger to personnel, no
responsibility is accepted for any injury or loss of life suffered in connection with
this equipment.
X-RAY RADIATION
The Argus Radar does not generate X-RAY radiation.
RADIO-FREQUENCY RADIATION
Harmful effects (particularly to the eyes) may be caused by exposure of any
part of the human body to radio-frequency mean power densities in excess of
100 mW/cm2. This power density is exceeded at a distance of 1 ft. or less from
the 12 ft. X-Band aerial (when stationary).
The system is designed to disable radiation when the antenna is not rotating.
The pedestals have also been prepared for installation of an external safety
switch, which can be mounted on, or near the platform. This switch disconnects
the power from the Pedestal preventing accidental operation during servicing.
Whenever it is necessary to disconnect the waveguide system from a radar
transmitter for maintenance purpose, the transmitter output should, when
practical, be terminated in a matched load. If this is not possible, care should be
taken to avoid standing in front of an open-ended waveguide from which power
is being radiated.
NEVER look down a waveguide from which power is being radiated.
SAFETY SWITCH
The Radar Unit is provided with a safety switch, which disables the antenna
rotating during maintenance and service.
