Health and Safety
T6T 300 Watt VHF Transmitter
The T6T 300 watt VHF transmitter operates from a low voltage dc input supply, or a standard mains ac
input supply. When using a mains supply, dangerous voltages are present on the rear panel ac connector
and within the equipment. For this reason, only suitably qualified personnel should install and maintain
the equipment.
In use, an antenna is connected to the transmitter. During installation, consideration must be
given regarding the resultant field strength in areas accessible to personnel. The formula to
determine the field strength is given in the Installation topic.
The output transistors used in the power amplifier (PA) of this transmitter contain the toxic
material beryllium. Beryllium oxide dust is toxic if inhaled.
Although no procedures in this documentation instruct component removal, users should be
aware that there could be a hazard if a PA’s output transistors become physically damaged.
The transmitter weighs approximately 79 kg. When lifting a transmitter, especially when
fitting into an equipment cabinet, a minimum of two people should be used. Failure to do so
can result in personal injury.
