User's Guide RF EMF Strength Meter Model 480836 1.0 - Safety Information CAUTION • Before making a measurement, check if the low battery symbol ( + shown on the display when the meter is switched on. Replace the battery if the symbol is displayed. ) is • 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 exceeding the specified limits as well as by improper handling. DANGER! • Use caution when working in the vicinity of powerful radiation sources. • Persons with electronic implants (e.g. cardiac pacemakers) should avoid powerful radiation sources. • Observe the local safety regulations. • Observe the operating instructions for equipment that is used to generate or conduct 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 devices can underrate pulsed signals, particularly with radar signals in which case 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 480836 V2.0 July 2007 2.0 - Introduction 2-1 Fundamentals Electromagnetic Radiation This meter is used to indicate radiated electromagnetic fields. Wherever there is a voltage or a current, electric (E) and magnetic (H) fields arise. Examples include the electromagnetic fields from radio broadcasting and TV transmitters. Electric Field Strength This is 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) : This is 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). Power density (S) : Power per unit area in 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) Near-field is assumed if the distance to the field source is less than three wavelengths. For far-fields, the distance is more than three wavelengths. In the near-field, the ratio of electric field strength (E) and magnetic field strength (H) is not constant, so measure each separately. In the far-field, however, it is enough to just measure one field quantity, and compute the other accordingly. 2-2 Application High frequency (RF) electromagnetic wave field strength measurement. Mobile 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, environmental EMF safety. 3 480836 V2.0 July 2007 2-3 Features This meter is a broadband device for monitoring high-frequency radiation in the range of 50MHz to 3.5GHz. 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 are 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. 50MHz to 3.5GHz 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 processing.

The three voltages generated by the sensor are fed back to the meter. In far-fields, an E-field sensor is preferable due to the greater bandwidth. The E-field sensor frequency ranges from 50MHz to 3.5GHz. The meter is a small portable instrument that measures the electric field in the atmosphere of the sensor’s surroundings. The measurement of the field is done by moving the aerial of the sensor in the desired measured environment. A direct wide band measurement is obtained of the field that the measurement sensor is subjected to. To find the value of the field emitted by a source of interference, simply point the aerial towards it and get as close as possible (the value of the field is inversely proportional to the distance of the sensor/emission source). The operator must take care not to be between the source of disturbance and the zone to be checked. The human body shields electromagnetic fields. The E-field sensor is isotropic; it does not require special handling. It measures the field according to 3 axes without the aerial having to be moved in the 3 planes. Simply point it at the target to make the measurement. 4-4 Explanatory notes 4-4-1 Units of measurement The meter measures the electrical component of the field; the default units are those of electrical field strength (mV/m, V/m). The meter converts the measurement values to the other units of measurement, i.e. the corresponding magnetic field strength units (μA/m, 2 2 2 mA/m) and power density units (μW/m , mW/m or μW/cm ) using the standard farfield formulate for electromagnetic radiation. The conversion is invalid for near-field measurements, as there is no generally valid relationship between electrical and magnetic field strength in this situation. Always use the default units of the sensor when making near-field measurements. 4-4-2 Result modes The bar graph display always shows each axis (X, Y or Z) the instantaneous measured dynamic range value. The digit display shows the measurement according to one of four selectable modes: • Instantaneous: The display shows the last value measured by the sensor, no symbol is displayed. • Maximum instantaneous (MAX): The digital display shows the highest instantaneous value measured, the “MAX” symbol is displayed. • Average (AVG): The digital display shows the average value measured, the “AVG” symbol is displayed. • Maximum average (MAX AVG): The digital display shows the highest average value measured, the “MAX AVG” symbol is displayed. Field strength Max. Hold Max. Average Average Actual t 4-4-3 Alarm limit value (ALM) The alarm limit value is used to monitor the display value and control the alarm indication function. The alarm limit value can be edited in the displayed V/m unit; the smallest value that can be set is 0.05V/m. NOTE: Alarm limit function can only be used for the total three axial measurement value. 9 480836 V2.0 July 2007 4-5 Setting the meter 4-5-1 Setting the units of measurement Use the UNIT key as follows.

Press key to turn off the meter. 2. Press and hold key and turn on the meter again to disable the backlight auto off function. 4-6 Making measurements Important: If the sensor is moved quickly, excessive field strength values will be displayed which do not reflect the actual field conditions. This effect is caused by electrostatic charges. Recommendation: Hold the meter steady during the measurement. 4-6-1 Short-term measurements Application: Use either the “Instantaneous” or the “Max. Instantaneous” mode if the characteristics and orientation of the field are unknown when entering an area exposed to electromagnetic radiation. Procedure 1. Hold the meter at arm’s length. 2. Make several measurements at various locations around the work place or the interested areas as described above. This is particularly important if the field conditions are unknown. 3. Pay special attention to measuring the neighboring vicinity for possible radiation sources. Apart from active sources, those components connected to a source may also act as radiators. For example, the cables used in diathermy equipment may also radiate electromagnetic energy. Note that metallic objects within the field may locally concentrate or amplify the field from a distant source. 4-6-2 Long-term exposure measurements Location: Place the meter between yourself and the suspected source of radiation. Make measurements at those points where parts of your body are nearest to the source of radiation. Note: Use the “Average ” or “Max average” modes only when the instantaneous measurement values are fluctuating greatly. 4-6-3 Alarm function Use this feature in the “Instantaneous”, “Max. Instantaneous”, “Average” or “Max. Average” modes. When the instantaneous measured value exceeds the limit value, a sequence of warning beeps will sound. 13 480836 V2.0 July 2007 4-7 Storing readings The meter includes a non-volatile data memory that can store a maximum of 99 measured values. 4-7-1 Storing individual measured values MEM The current memory location number appears in the lower right small display. Once you press the MEM key, it will store a displayed value and increment the memory location by one. Each flash of the “ ” symbol display indicates one reading has been stored. When the memory location number shows “99”, to indicate the manual data memory is full, the use must clear the entire contents of the data memory before storing new values. 4-7-2 Reading individual measured values READ Z XY V/m UNIT R MEM READ Z XY A/m UNIT R ”(reading mode). 1.
