Meter Description

1. LCD display

2. EMF Sensor

3. Power/Units switch

Note that the tilt stand and battery

compartment are located on the rear of the meter

Meter Operation

1. Place the “OFF/Tesla/Gauss” Switch to the Gauss or Tesla position.

2. Move the meter's sensor slowly toward the device under test and read the LCD

indication. If the LCD display is completely blank or if “LO BAT” appears on the left

corner of the LCD, check the 9V battery (replace if necessary).

3. Notice that the field intensity reading increases as you move closer to a field.

4. Position the meter at different angles to the device under test and observe how this

positioning affects the EMF readings.

5. Record the highest reading obtained from the various reading positions.

6. If the device under test is off, the EMF tester reading should go to zero unless another

source of radiation is present.

7. If the meter’s display indicates a “1” on the left side of the LCD, an overload condition

exists. This indicates that the measured radiation is higher than the capability of the

meter.

EMF Exposure

The effect of EMF exposure on humans and animals is a modern day concern. At the time

of this writing, to the best of our knowledge, no standards or recommendations exist

regarding limits of EMF exposure. Until evidence suggests that there is not a health risk

associated with EMF exposure, common sense would dictate that a practice of minimal

exposure be exercised.

Battery Replacement

When the low battery message “LO BAT” appears on the left corner of the LCD, the 9V

battery has fallen to a critically low voltage level and should be replaced as soon as

possible. The battery compartment cover is located at the bottom rear of the meter. Slide

off the battery compartment cover, change the battery, and replace the compartment

cover.
