Chapter 1 Overview

Noncontact type of voltage sensor

Searches for noise in a system in operation, with-
out affecting circuits currently in communication or
damaging cables.

Measuring frequency band range: 500 Hz

to 30 MHz

Covers a wide band ranging from noise on power
transmission lines to that of CB radios.

Noise indicated on a large-LCD level

meter

Indicates detected noise on a level meter, sepa-
rately by frequency band.

PEAK HOLD function

Indicates the peak value in each frequency band
and the time measured.

Memory function for up to 64,000 items of

data

Records measurement data and measurement
times for up to 64,000 items of data.

Equipped with USB interface

Using the PC software supplied with the instru-
ment enables the transfer of data to a PC, display
of time series data, and output to a printer.

Compatible with two different power

sources: Batteries and AC adapter

Applicable to field measurements, given its porta-
bility and long-time monitoring capability.

Handy type

A compact, lightweight noise measuring tool that
can be used just like a simple circuit-tester.
