•
The antenna must be mounted such that no object that could
reasonably be expected to support a person is within 6 ft 7 inches of the
edges of a cylindrical space that projects outward from the antenna
reflector toward the satellite and has the same diameter as the
reflector. For example, the antenna may not be installed in a place
where the path of the cylindrical space passes immediately above a
deck on a nearby property. This reduces the likelihood of a person being
exposed to RF radiation because they stood inside of or next to that
cylindrical space.
•
If the above distance requirements cannot be met, the antenna must be
mounted in a controlled area inaccessible to the general public, such as
a fenced enclosure or on a roof.
•
Fenced installations must have a locked entry, and the fenced area must
be large enough to protect the general public from exposure to
potentially harmful levels of radiation.
•
Access to a roof installation in a commercial, industrial, or institutional
environment must be limited by a door or a permanently fastened
ladder that is locked to deny access to the general public.
•
Fenced or roof installations in commercial, industrial, or institutional
environments must carry a
Radiation Hazard Caution
sign on the access
door, gate, or permanently mounted access ladder within plain sight of
anyone approaching the antenna from the front or sides of the
reflector.
•
Once the transmitter becomes operational, maintain a safe distance; at
least 3 ft.
Failure to observe these cautions could result in injury to the eyes or other
personal injury.
Observe these precautions to avoid exposure to RF radiation, a potential
safety hazard:
•
Do not remove the yellow caution label on the antenna system. All antennas
of any type or size must carry an industry standard and government
approved Radiation Hazard Caution label on the feed support arm.
•
A fenced or roof installation in a commercial, industrial, or institutional
environment must carry a Radiation Hazard Caution sign on the access door,
gate, or permanently mounted access ladder within plain sight of anyone
approaching the antenna from the front or sides of the reflector.
Failure to observe these cautions could result in injury to eyes or other
personal injury.
