Intended Use
The scanner units detailed in this handbook form part of naviga-
tional radar systems intended for light marine use. These radar
systems are only an aid to navigation.
WARNING:
The 4D radome scanner connected to an SL70, SL70 PLUS or
SL70RC PLUS 7" LCD display unit DOES NOT conform to the
EU directive 95/5/EC, therefore such a system cannot be installed
on a vessel within the EU .
Safety Notices
This radar equipment must be installed and operated in accord-
ance with the instructions contained in this manual. Failure to do
so can result in personal injury and/or navigational inaccuracies.
In particular:
1. High Voltage. The scanner unit contains high voltages. Adjust-
ments require specialised service procedures and tools only avail-
able to qualified service technicians – there are no user
serviceable parts or adjustments. The operator should never
remove the scanner unit internal covers or attempt to service the
equipment.
2. Electromagnetic Energy. The radar scanner transmits electro-
magnetic energy. It is important that the radar is turned off when-
ever personnel are required to come close to the scanner to
perform work on the scanner assembly or associated equipment.
It is recommended that the radar scanner is mounted out of range
of personnel (above head height).
Do not look directly at the antenna at close range as your eyes are
the most sensitive part of the body to electromagnetic energy.
When properly installed and operated, the use of this radar will
conform to the requirements of ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 Standard
for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Fre-
quency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 Hz to 300 GHz and NRPB,
