EIRP Units

By pressing the distance area, the distance for EIRP 

measurements can be configured from 0.25 to 20 

meters.

Memory and Current Reference

These references are used for convenience. The 

“memory” reference is the value which is stored in the 

memory all of the time and saved when the device is 

powered off or when the main battery is removed. The 

“current” reference is the average value of the measured 

signal (background noise shown in PEAK value) which 

was detected by the unit, when you entered into the 

reference menu. If you enable this reference, it works 

the same way as the memory reference. When you 

disable it and switch back to the main menu, this value 

is lost. Current reference is useful to detect signals with 

the level higher than background noise.

Bar Graph/Reference Display and Button

When the bar graph area is pressed, the THRESHOLD 

mode is entered and the reference level for EMF 

measurement can be set.
With the NAVIGATOR bar:

Press the left or right arrows to adjust EMF references.

Press the up or down arrows to move the field cursor.

Press the center button to return to the main screen.

Reference options:

1. Memory Reference

2. Current Reference
To choose between Memory or Current reference, press

“V” (enable) or “X” (disable) at the right side of display.

Reference mode is helpful if you wish to hear an audio 

alarm whenever EMF exceeds a certain level. If any of 

the reference modes are enabled, you should see the 

REF label shown on the main screen. The bottom line 

of the display will now show the reference value of the 

peak signal. Note: The top line shows the “difference” 

(not the PEAK as labeled) between the ACTUAL PEAK 

measured and the REFERENCE setting. Therefore, 

whenever the “actual peak” value of the EMF signal is 

higher than the reference, the difference is a positive 

number and an alarm is issued. In the example display 

shown, the difference is 0.105 V/m, the reference is 

0.010 V/m, therefore the actual peak is 0.115 V/m.
Adjust the reference settings by pressing the 

THRESHOLD and NAVIGATOR button.
When data is being recorded, the actual peak value 

above the reference setting will still be recorded.

Data Storage and Read (EM Field Sensor)

The RECORD button (“R”) writes the displayed readings 

and settings onto the microSD storage card; press the 

“R” button to activate RECORD. At this point, the button 

turns red and data is being written onto the storage 

card. To stop recording, press the red button again.

A data line is recorded based on the timing interval 

which was preset at the “Intervals” menu.
If any of the references are enabled, a data line is 

added within the preset interval whenever a peak 

signal was detected above the reference setting. If 

the Reference is not enabled, data lines are added at 

intervals showing the current peak and average signals.
The DATA STORAGE button displays the data stored 

on the microSD card found at the bottom of the meter. 

Press this button to show the SD card history screen. 

Scroll through the data recorded using the NAVIGATOR 

button.
NOTE: If an “X” mark is overlaid onto the DATA 

STORAGE button, a non compatible SD storage card is 

inserted.
