Elma 593R INTRODUCTION 2.1 Fundamentals ❑ Electromagnetic pollution: This Meter used to indicate electromagnetic pollution generated artificially. Wherever there is a voltage or a current, the 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.
Elma 593R 2.2 Application Quite often routine operation, 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 are not exposed to dangerous levels of electromagnetic radiation, such as: ❑...

Elma 593R key: Press this key to switch to display date and time. Press and hold this key while turning the meter on to the alarm setting mode, press key two times to exit this mode. Press this key for 3 seconds to switch the alarm function on or off.
Elma 593R 4.2 LCD display description Auto power off function on / off. Displayed: Audible sound function on / off. 3. MAX: Maximum measured value displayed. 4. MAX AVG: Maximum average value displayed. Low battery indication. 6. Units: mV/m and V/m : Electric field strength.
Elma 593R 4.3 Use E-field sensor The actual 3-channel sensor is located in the head part of the meter. 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.
