Sailor 6248 VHF User Manual - Installation
viii
antenna having a maximum gain of 3 dB (5.2dBi). This means all
persons must be at least 3 ft. (0.9m) away from the antenna when
the radio is transmitting.
Installation
1. An omni-directional antenna with a maximum power gain of
5.2 dBi must be mounted at least 9.6 ft. (2.9m) 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 3 ft. (0,9m)
plus the 6.6 ft. (2m) 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 3 ft. (0.9m)
vertically above the heads of people on deck and all persons
must be outside the 3 ft. (0.9m) MPE radius during radio
transmission.
•
Always mount the antenna at least 3ft (0.9m) from possible
human access.
•
Never touch the antenna when transmitting
•
Use only authorized T&T accessories.
3. If the 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 6 ft. (1.8m) 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.
