WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS

WARNING: Lethal Voltage Hazard

When access covers are removed, lethal voltages may be exposed. Some capacitors used in the equipment take several minutes to discharge their stored voltages after switch OFF, this is a lethal voltage hazard. Always set the supply switch-fuse to OFF and remove the fuses, before removing the access covers of the equipment.

WARNING: Health Hazard

When cleaning the inside of the equipment, take care not to inhale dust. The dust is a temporary health hazard, depending on individual allergies.

WARNING: Radiation Hazard

Keep outside the hazard zone around an antenna or open waveguide radiating power. Refer to the table below for hazard zones. When it is necessary to work on the Scanner Unit, make sure that radar is switched OFF, and that both the Mains Isolator and the Scanner Control Unit are turned to the OFF position.

Never look directly into an open waveguide.

Radar and other forms of RF radiation can cause Cardiac Pacemakers to malfunction. If you use a Cardiac Pacemaker and suspect a malfunction, leave the vicinity of the radar system immediately and seek medical advice.

Most countries accept that there is no significant radiation hazard at RF power density levels of up to 10 mW/cm2.

Hazard Zones
Antenna Length	10 mW/cm2	1 mW/cm2
1.2 m X-Band	1.7 m	17 m
1.8 m X-Band	1.05 m	10.5 m
2.4 m X Band	0.75 m	7.5 m
2.7 m S-Band	0.73 m	7.3 m
3.7 m S-Band	0.55 m	5.5 m

CAUTION: Electrostatic Sensitive Devices (ESSDs)

This equipment contains ESSDs. Take care not to damage these devices by discharge of electrostatic voltages.

PREFACE

This addenda is intended as a companion publication to the BridgeMaster E User Guide (65800010A) and Ship's Manual (65800010B).

The Special Features Processor Electronics Units are identified by the following type numbers:-

65800S*** for ARPA variant

65800U*** for ATA variant

The asterisks represent letters designating variants that are also common to the standard Processor Electronics Unit (see Ship's Manual).

Installation, initialisation and commissioning procedures are identical to the standard procedures, except for the changes in the screen presentation and System Status as shown on the following pages.

Maintenance and servicing procedures are identical to the standard procedures, with the exception that the Processor Electronics Unit is fitted with alternative radar and display processor board assemblies (contact LMS for specific details).

Special Naval Features

Radars incorporating the Special Naval Features covered in this addenda have three additional soft keys in the TRANSMIT display. These are the Red First Strike key (NAV or AIR), the Freeze Frame key (FREEZE, FROZEN (LOC) or FROZEN (REM)) and the Target Intercept key (INTCEPT), as indicated in the figure below.

TRANSMIT Display - Special Naval Features

Confirmation of these features can be established by checking your radar's System Status as follows.

System Status - Special Naval Features

1.	Within the TRANSMIT display, position the screen cursor over the SYSTEM soft
key located in the bottom right corner of the display.

2.	Left click to access the SYSTEM menu, see example below left.

SYSTEM Menu	SYSTEM STATUS Menu

3.	Within the SYSTEM menu, position the screen cursor over the SYSTEM STATUS
line.

4.	Left click to reveal the SYSTEM STATUS menu, see example above right.

The letters SF appearing after ATA or ARPA in the SYSTEM STATUS menu

indicates Special Naval Features functionality.

5.	Left click on the EXIT SYSTEM STATUS soft key located under the SYSTEM
STATUS menu. This will restore the SYSTEM menu.

6.	Left click on the EXIT SYSTEM soft key located under the SYSTEM menu.

The structure of this manual and the design of the pages can help you to find the information that you need. Consistent presentation techniques are used throughout the manual, to make it easy to use.

This manual is intended to be used by the Radar Operator and is divided into chapters as follows:

•	Chapter 1	- Basic Operation

Red First Strike

Freeze Frame

•	Chapter 2	- Target Functions

Target Intercept

•	Chapter 3	- Advanced Index Lines

•	Chapter 4	- Tools
