If some other transceiver is to be switched on, this is done as follows:
Selecting a Radar Transceiver
If you click into the transceiver area by means of the MORE key, the
numbers of the installed transceivers are listed, together with the
information as to whether they are X-Band or S-Band transceivers
and a statement of the antenna position
1)
. By clicking, you can
specify which transceiver is to be operated from that indicator.
If the transceiver on which you have clicked is not yet in radar oper-
ation mode, this action switches it into radar operation mode and the
indicator being operated becomes the master indicator.
If the transceiver on which you have clicked was already in radar operation mode, this action switches
the indicator being operated so that it acts as a slave indicator of that transceiver.
Switching a Slave Indicator so that it Becomes the Master
On the slave indicator, click into the transceiver area and then click
on MASTER.
As a result, the previous master indicator becomes a slave.
Switching the Indicator to Stand-By Mode
Click into the transceiver area, and then click on TX OFF.
Switching the Transceiver into Stand-By Mode
If the last indicator which is switched to the transceiver is switched
into Stand-By mode, this action switches the transceiver too into
Stand-By mode.
USEFUL INFORMATION
Danger Posed by High Frequency Radiation
There is no international agreement about the danger posed by high frequency radiation of the kind
produced by the radar antenna. In most countries, a radiation density exceeding 100 W/m
2
is considered
to be dangerous; in some countries, values over 10 W/m
2
are regarded as not being completely safe.
The distances from the various antennas at which the radiation density is 100 W/m
2
and 10 W/m
2
are
stated on page 3.
The rotation of the antenna is monitored. If, because of a defect or the use of the antenna safety
switch, the antenna stops rotating, the transceiver is automatically switched off.

The designations of the antenna positions can be freely edited at service level.
