    ETS-Lindgren Product Information Bulletin included with your shipment. Keypad Description The front panel of the HI-2200 RF Survey Meter is comprised of two basic user areas: the LCD display and the keypad. Following is a description of the keys on the keypad.
  • Page 24 Description POWER Turns the unit on and off. Function keys (4) • The four function keys select submenus displayed at the bottom of each screen. • These keys are also used for setting specific values. • The function of each key will change as different screens are viewed.

  • Page 25: Screens Description

    Screens Description When the RF Survey Meter is initially turned on, the screen displays contact information for ETS-Lindgren. In addition to the contact information the model number and most recent software revision date are provided. After the initial screen, the monitoring screen is displayed. The following sections explain the different monitoring and logging screens.
  • Page 26 The monitoring screen displays the current field reading, the maximum value, an average of the values, the length of time the meter has been on, or the time since the beginning of a new log file, the log file and data point number, and the four options available to the function keys.

  • Page 27: Operation

    Do not use any mechanical means to tighten the probe. Do not connect a probe to the HI-2200 while the meter is powered on. The HI-2200 must be powered off before it will recognize a newly-added probe.

  • Page 38: Probe Support Structures

    Probe Support Structures It is very important to keep conductive objects away from the HI-2200 RF Survey Meter while measuring. Any conductive objects in the proximity of the probe may distort the field and compromise measurement accuracy. If the application requires measurements from a fixed position, always mount the probe on a non-metallic platform using non-metallic screws.
  • Page 39 RMS average of the field intensity values measured during the previous six minutes (or whatever averaging window time is selected). With the HI-2200, averaging times of three, six, twelve, and 30 minutes can be selected.
  • Page 40 The HI-2200 provides a useful feature described as Spatial Averaging. Safety standards often specify maximum exposure levels in terms of Whole-Body Average values. This means that the exposure levels must be averaged over the whole body space occupied by the subject. This is accomplished by slowly...
