Safety precautions
Safety precautions described in this section are applicable to the radar system. They are general safety precautions that are not related to any specic
procedure, and they might therefore not appear elsewhere in this manual. They are recommended precautions that personnel must understand and
apply during the operation and maintenance of the system.
You are obliged to read these operating instructions prior to operation, and to adhere to the operating instructions in order to prevent possible danger.
Prevention of danger includes that operator personnel are trained and authorized for safe operation of the equipment. We assume no liability for damage
due to improper operation which could have been prevented.
The system must only be operated by persons who have passed the relevant mandatory training on the respective systems and applications. Only reading
these operating instructions cannot replace such training. Persons authorized to operate, maintain, and troubleshoot the system are instructed and
trained by Simrad. Persons operating or servicing systems must be familiar with the general safety regulations and specic safety systems, and they must
have passed all the required training. They must have read the relevant operating instructions and manuals before starting to work.
Have these operating instructions always at hand on all relevant locations and ensure that copies are available to all operators. Operating personnel must
always follow all safety regulations.
During normal operations, the unit can be quickly disconnected from the main power line by turning OFF the relevant circuit breaker located on the
electric switchboard.
Do not replace components or make adjustments inside the unit when the voltage supply is turned ON. Always remove power and discharge to ground a
circuit before touching it. Under no circumstances should any person initiate servicing or repairing the unit except in the presence of a qualied person.
Ensure unobstructed access to all operator panels, controls, and relevant switchgear cabinets in order to enable instant response to alarms.
Whenever it is necessary to disconnect the waveguide from a radar transmitter for maintenance purpose, the transmitter output should be terminated
with a matched load. If this is not possible, care should be taken. Do not stand in front of an open-ended waveguide from which power is being radiated.
¼ Note: Main power is always present on the terminal board unless the main break from the power distribution panel of the vessel is turned o.
⚠ WARNING: Never look down a waveguide from which power is being radiated!
Warnings
Radio frequency (RF) exposure
Harmful eects (particularly to the eyes) may be caused by exposure of any part of the human body to high power radio frequency radiation. The system is
designed to always disable the microwave radiation when the antenna is not rotating.
