4. MEASURING PROCEDURE

E-field sensors
The tester meter  that  measures  and  displays  EMF  in  Gauss  and 
Tesla  units  with  a  frequency  bandwidth  of  30  to  300Hz.  The  3  axis  
sensor  allows  for  three  component (xyz) measurement coverage. 
The tester Meter  is specifically designed to determine the magnitude of 
electromagnetic fields generated by power lines, televisions,
computers electric appliances and many other similar devices. 
This tester meter is shipped fully tested and calibrated and, 
with proper use, will provide years of reliable service. 

4-1 EMF Strength Function selection and measurement

1) Turn on the meter by pressing  the  " Power Button "

( 3-2, Fig. 1 ) > 1.5 seconds continuously.

*

Pressing the  " Power Button " ( 3-2, Fig. 1 )
continuously and > 1.5 seconds again will turn off the
meter.

2) measurement Function select

pressing and hold  the  " Function Button "( 3-5, Fig. 1 ),
to select X axis,Y axis, Z axis, and XYZ axis  measurement Function.

3) measurement UNIT select 

pressing the  " UNIT Button "( 3-5, Fig. 1 ),
to select  …1. mGauss  2. µTESLA . 

3) measurement Range select 

pressing the  " Range Button "( 3-6, Fig. 1 ),
to select  …
1. 200.0  2. 2000   3. 20000  mGauss, or
1. 20.00  2. 200.0   3. 2000  µTesla.

4) measurement Procedure
 1. Probe plug "(3-20 Fig1) into the meter "(3-17 Fig1) probe input.
 2. Make several measurements at various locations around the work place 
    or the interested areas as described above. This is particularly important 
    if the field conditions are unknown.
