    ©ROM-Elektronik GmbH fields, for which a completely new measuring technology is required for the high-frequency radiation. Comments on Measuring Technology For a meaningful measurement, the following minimum requirements on the measuring technology for low-frequency alternating fields were setup in the SBM2008: •...
  • Page 10 ©ROM-Elektronik GmbH 3. For a home or workplace measurement all typical loads should be switched on, even those that turn on only temporarily, for example, refrigerators, electrical storage heating (also in adjoining rooms). By turning individual loads on and off, the main causes can be isolated.

  • Page 13: Changing The Battery

    ©ROM-Elektronik GmbH turned off. The electric field may even increase upon switching off under certain conditions. Limit value recommendations up to 2 kHz: below 1.5 V / m, preferably below 0.3 V / m. Changing the Battery If LoBat is visible in the display, the battery should be replaced, because it may cause a distortion of the measured value.
