GENERAL HANDBOOK FOR HEIMDALL

DETECTORS

Doc. No. 667/HB/31900/000

Wireless Safety

The Heimdall detector hardware is a radar device.

This product does emit RF signals which are below the statuary requirements. However,

it is recommended that precautions are taken to reduce prolonged exposure when

operating directly in front of the Heimdall antenna area.

The Heimdall detectors may also include a wireless device which will only transmit when

a wireless connection is made from authorised maintenance personnel using Siecom

software. When connected to Siecom, the wireless transmitter within the plastic case

should have a separation of at least 20cm between the case and the body of the user or

nearby persons, excluding hands, wrists, feet and ankles.

Safety of Road Users

It is important that all personnel are aware of the dangers to road users that could arise

during repair and maintenance of traffic control equipment.

Ensure that the junction area is coned and signed as necessary to warn motorists and

pedestrians of any dangers and to help protect the personnel working on the site.

Personnel should also ensure the safety of pedestrians, especially children, who may

come into contact with parts of the signal poles.
