Personal RF Safety Monitors are an effective and economical means to monitor the strength of electromagnetic (RF) fields from mobile phone towers, microwave ovens, radio and television installations, high frequency welders, and other common workplace RF sources between 10 and 10,000 MHz. Lightweight and wearable, the Personal RF Monitor is essential RF safety equipment in complying with FCC, OSHA, and other safe workplace requirements.

Personal RF safety monitors give you audio and visual warning when the IEEE and ICNIRP limit is exceeded on your body. It immediately alerts you to high frequency radiation fields that could be a health hazard. It gives an approximate value of RF strength to help you determine how long you can stay in the radiation field.

Extremely convenient to wear and use, the personal RF safety monitor is the size of a cell phone and weighs under 3 ounces! It's smaller and much lighter than competing units!

Using Your Personal RF Monitor

Wearing Your Monitor

The personal RF monitor should be worn on the belt with the supplied belt clip, or clipped to a harness in the included carry pouch. Position the Personal Monitor clear of metallic objects, such as a tool pouch. personal RF monitor should not be used with an RF protective suit.

Preparation for Use

To start using personal RF protection, simply unscrew the battery cover on the back and insert two AAA alkaline batteries, perform a functional test, and set desired alarm parameters.
No need to worry about the batteries - the pocket RF monitor's batteries can last over 500 days! The monitor incorporates a self-test function to be used whenever the monitor is turned on.

Interpreting Your Monitor

The personal RF monitor uses a simple set of audible and visual alarms to alert you to dangerous radio frequency (RF) fields. Those alarms can be set for your convenience.
When radiation monitors give an alarm, it means that your RF exposure may be above FCC, OSHA, or ICNIRP limits. When this occurs, you should leave the area and proceed in accordance with your company's RF safety plan or consult the appropriate workplace authority.

Setting Alarm / Function Features

Has 2 alarm levels and 3 alarm functions. All functions are controlled by pressing the SELECT pushbutton. When SELECT is pushed there is audio and visual feedback.
The World Health Organization has established health hazard limits that are accepted in most parts of the world as standards. In the United States, these are standards of the FCC and OSHA. The radiofrequency exposure, Maximum Permissable Exposure (MPE) limits are divided into two levels, one for "General Public" use and one for persons trained to work in high frequency radiation areas, referred to as "Occupational".
Your RF monitor can be set to these two alarm levels. The lower "Public" level is automatically chosen when personal RF protection is turned on. To choose "Occupational", press and hold the SELECT pushbutton for more than 5 seconds. The unit will respond with 10 long or 10 short beeps. The chosen level is indicated by a lighted bar.

By pushing the SELECT button momentarily, the 3 different RF safety alarm functions can be chosen:

• Normal (one beep): In this position the personal RF safety monitor will give both audible and visual warning, when the chosen alarm limit is exceeded.
• Timer (two beeps): will only give visual warning, when the chosen alarm limit is exceeded. After approximately 5 minutes will beep and return to normal position.
• Silent (three beeps): will only give visual warning when the chosen RF safety alarm limit is exceeded.

Maintaining Your Monitor

No routine maintenance is needed to keep your personal RF monitor in good order! Just take common sense measures to keep it clean, dry, and secure. Calibration services are available
