Dear Customer The EM03 Electric Field Meter is a small, compact unit with digital display for measuring static charges directly in Volts. The mode of function of the instrument is based on the influence principle. The integrated micro-computer automatically converts the measured field- strength over the pre-selected measuring distance (distance between measured object and measuring electrode) into charges in Volts.

2.3 Proper Use The EM03 Electric FieldMeter must be used only for measuring static charges. The unit is not approved for explosion hazard areas and must on no account be used in this environment.
2.4 Work and operational safety Warning! Please read these notices carefully! • The unit must not be used in the explosion hazard area and in power installations. • Alternating fields > 1 Hz cannot be measured with this instrument. • When measuring high static charges, the electric field meter must be grounded using the alligator clip supplied with the unit.
3. Operation 3.1 Startup Warning! The instrument must NOT be used in explosion hazard area. When measuring extremely high static charges, the electric field meter must be grounded using the alligator clip supplied with the unit. The first measurement must be made from a sufficient distance to ensure that the maximum applied surface potentials are determined from a safe measu- ring distance.

The top line of the display shows the selected measuring distance in cm, the bottom line shows the measured charge in Volts. If 999 V are reached during measurement, the unit automatically switches to the kV display range. The measured value is always displayed with three digits, 578 V; 3,85 kV;...
3.3 Power supply The instrument is supplied via a 9 V block battery inside the unit. In conti- nuous operation the service life is approx. 10 hours. 3.4 Battery monitoring The instrument is equipped with a permanent battery voltage monitoring function.
(3, Fig. 1). The last digit of the display may be neglected because the measuring error caused by it would be substantially smaller than the permitted tolerance. 4.3 Calibration We recommend returning the unit to Eltex at yearly intervals to check the measured values. BA-en-1020-1804_EM03...
The warranty applies only if the operating and assembly instructions spe- cified by Eltex have been observed. The warranty period begins on the date of delivery. In the event of defects occurring during the warranty period, the units or defective components will be repaired at Eltex.
