SRT X-BAND RADAR SYSTEMS
WARNINGS
304202P003 2 Rev. C
The pedestals have also been prepared for the installation of an external safety
switch, which can be mounted on, or near the platform. This switch removes the
power from the Pedestal eliminating the possibility of accidental operation
during servicing and also causes disabling of transmission.
Whenever it is necessary to disconnect the waveguide system from a radar
transmitter for maintenance purpose, the transmitter output should be
terminated in a matched load, when possible. 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.
X-RAY RADIATION
This unit does not generate X-RAY radiation.
SAFETY SWITCH
The Radar Unit is provided with a safety switch, which disable the Antenna
movement during maintenance operations and avoids high voltage damage.
Always turn the safety switch off, whenever advised in this manual (for instance,
before performing any maintenance or installation procedure.). Ignoring safety
switch operation may produce hazard of electrocution as well as other severe
injures.
