We have a safety incident under way where I work. (line work on B717).

Pilots manual says no safety distance required for WX RDR preflight test, maintenance manual says 14ft for the exact same test.

Can only guess how many engineers have been zapped while milling around the nose waiting to do pushbacks.

The other thing is doppler is active for windshear detection as soon as parkbrake is off and and either fuel switch selected on. So we are getting zapped again on pushback.

Neither Boeing nor Honeywell seem to want to touch it (according to our safety Dept).
