You’ll find
health safety standards (i.e. the exposure limits) for radio/microwave fields
included at the end of this guide for reference as you use your HF35C meter.
Naturally, health safety standard limits also exist for electric and magnetic exposure, body
voltage etc., however for these you will need a different meter capable of detecting and
measuring those types of fields. Our
EMF Experts Training Handbook and User Guide for
the Tri-Field Meter
, is a good starting point for dealing with electric and magnetic fields and
their health safety standards. This book however, is dedicated to the topic of
radio/microwave fields.
Meet Your New Meter
Your HF35C Meter will arrive in two sections
–
the
meter body and the antenna - protectively packed to
keep the fragile antennae from being damaged.
You’ll
assemble the antennae on the meter body in two easy
steps.
This is a good box to keep your meter safely stored
when not in use since the antennae is made of a
material normally used for the interior of a circuit
board, and that is why it looks like a circuit board with
lots of soldering of small thin elements, and delicate
pieces.
Although the manufacturer user guide says it can
withstand a fall from table height, we recommend care
since if one the elements is broken the meter will not
be able to pick up those particular frequencies, it will
not be accurate and will be unable to be repaired.
Consider buying a sturdy case if you will be transporting your meter from place to place. A
quick search online for an ‘aluminum hard case with foam insert’ will provide you with many
inexpensive, suitable options. Sizes vary and you may prefer to purchase just one case to
keep all your various EMF Meters protected together.
