  • Page 8 4. MEASURING PROCEDURE E-field sensors The 3-channel sensor is located at the top of the meter. The three voltages generated by the sensor are fed back to the meter. The measurement of the field is done by moving the aerial of the sensor in the desired measured environment.
  • Page 9 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.
