Axis RF Meter Quick Start Guide This meter has many capabilities, including memory, alarm, date/time, average etc. which will require some study of the manual to use properly. However, you can quickly and easily begin making measurements right out of the box. Just follow these simple steps: Insert 9V battery.
Introduction This meter is designed for measuring and monitoring Radio–Frequency electromagnetic field strength. The meter is calibrated precisely over the frequency range of 50Mz~3.5 GHZ. Simple a method of operation Press “ ” button to power on. To change measuring unit (mV/m), push “ ”...
Fundamentals Electromagnetic pollution: This meter is used to indicate electromagnetic pollution generated artificially. Wherever there is a voltage or a current, 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.
3.3 Power density (S): Power per unit area normal (perpendicular) to the direction of propagation, usually expressed in units of Watts per square meter (W/m ) or, for convenience, units such as mill Watts per square centimeter (mW/cm 3.4 The characteristic of electromagnetic fields(S): Electromagnetic fields propagate as waves and travel at the speed of light (C).
Application Quite often routine, 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 be not exposed to dangerous levels of electromagnetic radiation, such as: ...
electromagnetic safety reference standard 1W/m² =0.1mW/Cm² =100uW/Cm² Features The meter is a broadband device for monitoring high- frequency radiation in the range from 50MHz to 3.5GHz The non-directional electric field antenna and high sensitivity also allow measurements of electric field strength in TEM cells and absorber rooms.

The meter can be set to display the instantaneous value, the maximum value measured or the average value. Non-directional (isotropic) measurement with three-axis measurement sensor. High dynamic range due to three- channel digital results processing. Configurable alarm threshold and memory function.

Calibration factor (CAL) The calibration factor CAL serves to calibrate the display for a specific frequency when the frequency of a single signal is known.
12 Making measurements Important : The following effect will be noted with all field strength meters: If the sensor is moved quickly, excessive field strength values could be displayed. This effect is caused by electrostatic charges. Recommendation : Hold the meter steady during the measurement. 13 Short-term measurements Application : Use either the “instantaneous”...
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. 14 Long-term exposure measurements Location Place the meter between yourself and the...
15 Safety Information CAUTION Before making a measurement, check if the ” is shown on the low battery symbol” 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.
16 Safety Information DANGER In some cases, work in the vicinity of powerful radiation sources can be a risk to 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.
17 Battery replacement WARNING If the symbol “ ” appears on the LCD, please replace the battery immediately Turn off the instrument. Remove the battery cover Replace the battery. Install the battery cover. Be sure to turn unit off after use to conserve battery life.
