User’s Manual  

Personal equipment WaveMon 

When it is switched on, the 

WaveMon

 will show 

the strength of the present electric or magnetic 

field by means of signal lamps. The ambient 
field strength is shown as a percentage of the 

regulated limit. The signal lamps show the 
maximum levels of the instantaneous electric and 

magnetic field, but the record of both is stored in 

memory. 

Bear in mind as well that the average field value, 
based upon the instantaneous field, is stored in 

memory to allow analysis of your exposure in 
respect of international standards.

Note:

 the magnetic field is not available on some 

models. See Section 12.

The user can learn the field strength by observing 

the number of blinking lights. Field strength 
indication starts when it is over 10% of the 
established limit. A colour code is also used so 
that the user does not have to focus continually 
on the device. 

If the field strength is lower than 50% of the limit, 
the lights showing the present field strength will 
blink green. If the field strength is higher than 

50% but lower than 100% of the limit, the lights 

showing the present field strength will blink 
orange. When the field strength is over 100% of 

the limit, the lights will blink red. 

To ensure that the user is aware of the presence 

of a strong field, the device will also give audible 

and vibratory warnings when the threshold 

defined by the user is exceeded.

Note:

 the device will continue measuring and recording 

the electromagnetic field even after a fall is detected.

5. 

FALL WARNING

The 

WaveMon

 is equipped with a fall sensor and 

if it detects such an event, the device will begin 
beeping until it is switched off. This feature makes 
it possible to warn others nearby instantly if 
someone carrying a 

WaveMon

 falls.
