Training Information (valid for TU5160)
The System 5000 MF/HF is designed for “occupational use only” and is also classified as
such.
It must only be used in the course of employment by individuals aware of both the hazards
as well as the way to minimize those hazards.
The radio is thus NOT intended for use in an uncontrolled environment by general public.
The System 5000 MF/HF has been tested and complies with the FCC RF exposure limits for
“Occupational Use Only”. The radio also complies with the following guidelines and
standards regarding RF energy and electromagnetic energy levels including the
recommended levels for human exposure:
•
FCC OET Bulletin 65 Supplement C, evaluating compliance with FCC guidelines for
human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic fields
•
American National Standards Institute (C95.1) IEEE standard for safety levels with
respect to human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic fields, 3 kHz to 300
GHz
•
American National Standards Institute (C95.3) IEEE recommended practice for the
measurement of potentially hazardous electromagnetic fields – RF and microwaves
Below the RF exposure hazards and instructions in safe operation of the radio within the
FCC RF exposure limits established for it are described.
Warning:
Your radio set generates electromagnetic RF (radio frequency) energywhen it is transmitting.
To ensure that you and those around you are not exposed to excessive amounts of that
energy (beyond FCC allowable limits for occupational use) and thus to avoid health hazards
from excessive exposure to RF energy, FCC OET bulletin 65 establishes an Maximum
Permissible Exposure (MPE) radius of 6" (1.8m) for the maximum power of your radio (150W
selected) with a whip antenna having a maximum gain of 3.0dBi.
This means all persons must be at least 6" (1.8m) away from the antenna when the radio is
transmitting.
Installation:
1.
A whip antenna with a maximum power gain of 3 dBi must be mounted at least 12.6"
(3.9m) above the highest deck where people may be staying during radio transmissions.
The distance is to be measured vertically from the lowest point of the antenna. This
provides the minimum separation distance which is in compliance with RF exposure
requirements and is based on the MPE radius of 6" (1.8m) plus the 6.6" (2.0m) height of
an adult.
2
On vessels that cannot fulfil requirements in item 1, the antenna must be mounted so
that its lowest point is at least 6" (1.8m) vertically above the heads of people on deck and
all persons must be outside the 6" (1.8m) MPE radius during radio transmission.
•
Always mount the antenna at least 6" (1.8m) from possible human access
•
Never touch the antenna when transmitting
•
Use only authorized T&T accessories
3.
If antenna has to be placed in public areas or near people with no awareness of the radio
transmission, the antenna must be placed at a distance not less than 12" (3.6m) from
possible human access.
Failure to observe any of these warnings may cause you or other people to exceed FCC RF
exposure limits or create other dangerous conditions.
