1. FEATURES
* 3 Axis probe.
* Radio frequency electromagnetic field tester.
* Wide measuring frequency ranges, 100 KHz to 3 GHz.
* EMF-839 is used for broadband devices of monitoring
the wide range radio frequency electromagnetic field
value.
* For precision measurement consideration, the meter
is included two probes :
EP-04L ( Low frequency Probe, 100 KHz to 100 MHz )
EP-03H ( High frequency Probe, 100 MHz to 3 GHz )
* Unit : V/m, W/m^2, mW/cm^2.
* Alarm setting function can warn the user if the
measuring antenna is too near the strong radiation
sources, the buzzer will sound to remind the user.
* Peak hold function to latch peak value.
*Data hold function to lock the current reading.
* RS232 computer interface.

2. APPLICATIONS
This meter is specially developed for measuring or
monitoring electromagnetic field, for example:
cell-phone station, hospital equipment, radar ,
micro-wave oven, radiation work, TV antenna , Radio
station , welding equipment , baking- equipment,
television , computer , factory, laboratory , and other
environment...etc.
3. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Danger
* For worker's safety, be aware that persons with
electromagnetic implant ( e.g. cardiac-pacemarker ) are
subject to especial danger in some case.
* Particular to observe the local safety regulations of the
operator of the equipment.
* Before using the device, it need to know that how to
setting " alarm-limit " value ( refer to page 12 ).
Attention
* Claims by some scientists that long term exposure to
electromagnetic field may be the cause of childhood
leukemia & other forms of cancer.
* Complete answers to any of these and related
questions are not currently available. At the present
time the most common practice is to avoid excess
exposure over long period of time.
2
* Complete answers to any of these and related
" Prudent Avoidance " as stated by the Environmental
Protection Agency(EPA) USA is recommended.
* According to ICNIRP of reference levels to time-varying
electromagnetic fields, The E-field strength levels are:
