  • Page 11: General Safety Information

    It is important to note that the guidelines adopted differ throughout the world and are from time-to-time re-issued with revised guidelines. For Silvus use, a maximum power density limit of 1w/m² is to be applied when calculating minimum safe working distances.

  • Page 12: Table 1 Safe Working Distances

    9/2/20 StreamCaster 4000 series MIMO Radio User Manual To be safe: a) Operators should not stand or walk in front of any high gain antenna such as dish antennas, nor should they allow anyone else to do so. b) Operators should not operate any RF transmitter or power amplifier with any of its covers removed, nor should they allow anyone else to do so.

  • Page 14: Maximum Rf Power Density Limits

    / frequency characteristics are presented in the two documents. To avoid complexity and to avoid areas of uncertainty, Silvus recommends the use of a single power density limit across the frequency range 100 kHz to 300 GHz. The 1w/m² power density limit we recommend satisfies the most stringent of the guidelines published to date.
