1. SAFETY INFORMATION

CAUTION

•Before making a measurement, check if the low battery symbol

( +) is shown on the display as soon as the meter is switched on.

Change the battery if the symbol is displayed.

•In the case of prolonged storage, it is preferable to remove the battery

from the meter.

•Avoid shaking the meter, particularly in the measurement mode.

•The accuracy and function of the meter may be adversely affected by the

specified limits outside and improper handling.

DANGER !

•In some cases, work in the vicinity of powerful radiation sources can be

a risk of your life.

•Be aware that persons with electronic implants(e.g. cardiac pacemakers)

are subject to particular dangers in some cases.

•Observe the local safety regulations of the facility operation.

•Observe the operating instructions for equipment which is used to

generate, conduct or consumer electromagnetic energy.

•Be aware that secondary radiators (e.g. reflective objects such as a

metallic fence) can cause a local amplification of the field.

•Be aware that the field strength in the near vicinity of radiators increases

proportionally to the inverse cube of the distance. This means that

enormous field strengths can result in the immediate vicinity of small

radiation sources (e.g. leak in waveguides, inductive ovens).

•Field strength measuring device can underrate pulsed signals.

Particularly with radar signals, significant measurement errors can arise.

•All field strength measuring devices have a limited specified frequency

range. Fields with spectral components outside of this frequency range

are generally incorrectly evaluated and tend to be underrated. Before

using field strength measuring devices, you should thus be certain that all

field components to be measured lie in the specified frequency range of

the measuring device.

2. INTRODUCTION

2-1 Fundamentals

Electromagnetic pollution :

This Meter used to indicate electromagnetic pollution generated

artificially. Wherever there is a voltage or a current, the electric (E)

and magnetic (H) fields arise. All types of radio broadcasting and TV

transmitters produce electromagnetic fields, and they also arise in

industry, business and the home, where they affect us even if our

sense organs perceive nothing.

Electric field strength (E) :

A field vector quantity that represents the force (F) on an infinitesimal

unit positive test charge (q) at a point divided by that charge. Electric

field strength is expressed in units of volts per meter (V/m).

Use the units of electric field strength for measurements in the following

situations:

•In the near-field area of the source.

•Where the nature of the electromagnetic field is unknown.

Magnetic field strength (H) :

A field vector that is equal to the magnetic flux density divided by the

permeability of the medium. Magnetic field strength is expressed in

units of amperes per meter (A/m).

The meter uses of magnetic field strength for measurements only in

the far-field area of the source.

Power density (S) :

Power per unit area normal to the direction of propagation, usually

expressed in units of watts per square meter (W/m2) or, for convenience,

units such as milliwatts per square centimeter (mW/cm2).

The characteristic of electromagnetic fields :

Electromagnetic fields propagate as waves and travel at the speed of

light (c). The wavelength is proportional to the frequency.

λ(wavelength) = c (speed of light)

f (frequency)

If the distance to the field source is less than three wavelength, then

we are usually in the near-field. If the distance is more than three

wave length, the far-field conditions usually hold.

In the near-field, the ratio of electric field strength (E) and magnetic

field strength (H) is not constant, so we have to measure each

separately.

In the far-field, however, it is enough to just measure one field quantity,

then the other could be computed accordingly.

2-2 Application

Quite often routine operation, maintenance and service work has to be

done in areas where active electromagnetic fields are present, e.g. in

broadcasting stations, etc. Additionally, other employees may be

exposed to electromagnetic radiation. In such cases, it is essential that

personnel are not exposed to dangerous levels of electromagnetic

radiation, such as:

High frequency (RF) electromagnetic wave field strength

measurement.

Mobil phone base station antenna radiation power density

measurement.

Wireless communication applications (CW, TDMA, GSM, DECT).

RF power measurement for transmitters.

Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) detection, installation.

Spy camera, wireless bug finder.

Cellular/Cordless phone radiation safety level.

Microwave oven leakage detection.

Personal living environment EMF safety.

2-3 Features

The meter is a broadband device for monitoring high-frequency radiation

in the range from 10MHz to 8GHz. The non-directional electric field and

high sensitivity also allow measurements of electric field strength in TEM

cells and absorber rooms.

The unit of measurement and the measurement types have been

selected to expressed in units of electrical and magnetic field strength

and power density.

At high frequencies, the power density is of particular significance.

It provides a measure of the power absorbed by a person exposed to the

field. This power level must be kept as low as possible at high

frequencies.

The meter can be set to display the instantaneous value, the maximum

value measured or the average value. Instantaneous and maximum

value measurements are useful for orientation, e.g. when first entering an

exposed area.

10MHz to 8GHz Frequency range.

For isotropic measurements of electromagnetic fields.

Non-directional (isotropic) measurement with three-channel

measurement sensor.

High dynamic range due to three-channel digital results processing.

Configurable alarm threshold and memory function.

Easy & safety to use.
