WARNING
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to IEC
60945 and IEC 62388. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference when
the equipment is operated in a commercial environment.
This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy. If not properly installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, this equipment may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of
this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause
harmful interference in which case the user will be required
to correct the interference at his own expense.
The used sensor equipment pursuant to IEC 61162.
Using this Radar as High Speed Radar the Gyro Sensor
must be a High Speed Gyro Sensor as well.
WARNING
HIGH VOLTAGE
There is no danger in handling the external controls of the
Radar while the Radar is in operation. However, in the
Radar‘s interior are high voltages which are fatally
dangerous to anyone carelessly handling interior
components. Be absolutely sure that the Radar power
switch or the Radar system is switched OFF before
performing repair work or maintenance.
Furthermore, even when the Radar power switch or the
Radar system is turned OFF, a high voltage remains in
certain parts of the Radar circuits. In particular, be careful of
the magnetron heater circuit, cathode- ray tube anode
circuit, etc. Before touching any part of the voltage sections,
use a length of wire with one end fully grounded or an
insulated screwdriver to ground all high voltage sections in
order to discharge the residual charges and ensure that no
charges remain. In any case, the most dangerous thing to
do is to touch any part of the high voltage sections without
making sure that the Radar power switch or the Radar
system must be switched OFF.
WARNING
Exercise care when approaching a rotating antenna. Be
