DANGER: Injury caused by a rotating antenna
When the radar system is switched to "ON", it is possible that, instead
of the expected antenna, a different one will begin to rotate. Therefore, it
must be ensured beforehand that all antennas can rotate freely and that
are no persons near the antennas.
The units may be opened only by qualified, trained persons.
DANGER: Dangerous voltage
Even when the equipment is switched off, there can be a dangerous
voltage present at exposed contacts in the units. Therefore, before a unit
is opened, it must be ensured that the voltage supply to the unit is
disconnected from the ship’s mains, and that it remains disconnected.
Because of the capacitors contained in the units, there can be a
dangerous voltage present in any unit even several minutes (or several
hours in the case of monitors) after switching off and disconnection
from the power supply.
If the units are to be disconnected from the ship’s mains, it must be remembered that each antenna
unit, each transceiver electronics unit and each indicator normally has its own supply of power from
the ship’s mains.
If, for the transfer of signals (e.g. transfer of the heading signal from the compass system), synchro
transmitter are used, a dangerous voltage exists in the units until the reference voltage is switched
off.
