16 SAFETY INFORMATION
DANGER
In some cases, work in the vicinity of
powerful radiation sources can be a
risk of your life.
Be aware that persons with
electronic implants (e.g. cardiac
pacemakers) are subject to
particular dangers in some cases.
Observe the local safety regulations
of the facility operation.
Observe the operating instructions
for equipment, which is used to
generate, conduct, or consumer
electromagnetic energy.
Be aware that secondary radiators
(e.g. reflective objects such as a
metallic fence) can cause a local
amplification of the field.
Be aware that the field strength in
the near vicinity of radiators
increases proportionally to the
inverse cube of the distance. This
means that enormous field strengths
can result in the immediate vicinity
of small radiation sources (e.g. leak
in wave guides, inductive ovens)
Field strength measuring device can
underrate pulsed signals.
Particularly with radar signals,
significant measurement errors can
arise.
All field strength measuring devices
have a limited specified frequency
range. Fields with spectral
components outside of this
frequency range are generally
