FCC NOTICES
IC RSS-GEN, Sec 8.4 Warning Statement- (Required for license-exempt devices)
This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may
cause undesired operation of the device.
IC RSS-GEN, Sec 8.3 Warning Statement-
This radio transmitter (identify the device by certification number, or model number if
Category II) has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with the antenna types listed below with the maximum permissible
gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain
greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device.
When working on Kelvin Hughes equipment, operators, engineers and agents are expected to work within the health and safety
guidelines noted in the handbook, as issued by their respective employer or as stated by site regulations, shipyard or vessel
owner.
Risk assessments of a working area must be undertaken prior to commencement of any work and must be regularly reviewed.
HAZARDS
All Kelvin Hughes designed equipment is constructed so that access to high voltages may only be gained after having used a
tool, such as a spanner or screwdriver. Warning labels are prominently displayed both within the equipment and on protective
covers.
All Kelvin Hughes designed equipment is designed to meet the requirements of EN 60215,
“Safety Requirements of Radio
Transmitting
Equipment”.
WARNING: ELECTRICAL HAZARDS
SOME EQUIPMENT DOES NOT HAVE SAFETY INTERLOCKS FITTED.
Lethal single and three phase AC and DC voltages may be present when units are open and exposed.
Before accessing any internal parts, ALL power sources to the equipment must be fully isolated; this must include the isolation
of all UPS supported supplies to the system.
WARNING: MAINS VOLTAGES
All Kelvin Hughes equipment is supplied with mains input voltage set for 220v, 50/60 Hz ac unless otherwise stated on labels
attached to the equipment.
WARNING: RESIDUAL VOLTAGES
Residual voltages may be present on large capacitors within the unit. When accessing the internal parts of the system, fully
isolate all sources of power before removing the service access panels. This will allow time for the voltages to discharge whilst
the panel is removed.
CAUTION: HOUSING TEMPERATURE
This unit will become hot during normal operation.
When the system has been operating in strong sunlight or elevated temperatures, the transceiver, unit housing and antenna
surfaces will be extremely hot.
CAUTION: COMBUSTIBILITY WARNING
Some equipment contains materials which may produce toxic fumes if burnt.
WARNING: BERYLLIUM
The SharpEye
TM
X and S Band transceivers are factory sealed units which contain no field serviceable parts. The SharpEye
TM
transceivers
must not
be dismantled in the field as some components within the factory sealed processor contain Beryllium
which is hazardous to health.
CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT
There is a class 1 laser within the sealed SharpEye
™ transceiver processor which can represent a risk if the processor is
dismantled.
When fitted, the LAN fibre optic cable that connects the SharpEye
TM
transceiver to the Radar Distribution Unit is considered as
a class 1 laser.
ANTENNA ROTATION
WARNING
When single phase AC and the Antenna Motor AC supply is connected to the system and switched ON, the antenna will rotate
immediately regardless of the RUN command status.
Use the antenna rotation keyswitch or man aloft safety switches to stop antenna rotation in an emergency.
Refer to the maintenance section of the operator’s handbook for details on stopping the antenna and isolating a system.
