Certificate
To Whom it may concern:
This is to certify that electromagnetic radiation emissions from transducers (antenna with
transmitting and receiving electronics) manufactured by Geophysical Survey Systems, Inc.
(GSSI) DO NOT constitute a safety or health hazard to operating personnel.
Emissions from GSSI transducers are below the 10mW/cm² (100W/m²) level specified by the
United States Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations
Paragraph 1910.97 states:
"For normal environmental conditions and for incident electromagnetic frequencies from
100 MHz to 100 GHz, the radiation protection guide is
10 mW/cm² (milliwatt per square centimeter) as averaged over any possible 0.1 hour
period."
Emissions data using GPR SIR System-10, SIR-2, SIR-3, SIR-4, SIR-8, SIR-20, SIR-2000 and
SIR-3000 (at the standard Pulse Repetition Frequency of 100 KHz) with the antenna Models
listed and levels of Electromagnetic Radiation are specified herein:
Following is the average power density data at 5cm and wide band.
