INTRODUCTION

The 

ETS-Lindgren EMC Field Probes

 embody the latest innovations in 

isotropic sensor design and low-noise, miniaturized electronics. Each probe is 
a fully intelligent sensor enabling fast and accurate EMF measurements with 
industry-leading performance specifications. Optical coupling to a variety of 
readout options makes these probes ideally suited for a wide range of field 
monitoring applications.
The EMC field probes include laser-powered (laser) probes and battery-
operated (battery) probes. This manual includes operating information and 
specifications for these probe models:
