Probe/Meter System Parameters

 

 

á     Ranges (V/m, full scale):     2, 20, 200, 600.

 

á     Resolution (at range):   0.01 V/m (2 V/m and 20 V/m),

0.1 V/m (200 V/m), 1 V/m (600 V/m).

 

á     Calibration accuracy:          +/- 0.5 dB (at reference levels).

 

á     Linearity deviation:             +/- 1.5 dB (any range 10-150% of full scale).

Typically +/- 1 dB.


 

 

á     Operating modes:              Average, Pulse and Peak.

á     Reading:                          RMS (root mean square) in all modes:

Average:                          RMS (Averaged over Tav).

Pulse:                                    0.707 x Instant Value (Averaged over Tp).

Peak:                                     0.707 x Peak Value (Averaged over Ts).

 

á     Response times for different operating modes:

Average (Slow Response):   Tav (averaging slow time)=2 sec.

Pulse (Fast Response):        Tp (averaging fast time)=100 ms.

Peak (Peak Response):             Ts (sample time)=50 ms, Th(hold time)=14 sec.

 

á     Auto zeroing (automatic and/or user activated) operates even at strong EM fields, and eliminates temperature induced offset errors.

á      

á     Display:                                  LCD 3.5 Digits, with over-range feature.

á     Remote monitor:               Special 1.8 m (6 ft.) cable (supplied with unit) allows remote output monitoring by data logger, scope or voltmeter.

á      

á     PC data streaming allows fast data transfer (120 samples/sec.) through AC/RF decoupled DAQ box to serial RS232 port.

á     Data logging allows the use of portable battery operated data loggers for data storage and PC transfer at a later time.

á      

á     Design: rugged metal hand held enclosure.  Probe is mounted on nonmetal handle and can be removed for cable operation at a distance.

á     Standard tripod mount (1/4Ó-20) for meter, probe clip and nonmetal portable tripod are provided.

á      

á     Operating temperature:            5 C¡ to 40¡ C, RH 10%-90%, non-condensing.

á     Temperature error:                  <0.08 dB/¡C (range 2 V/m), <0.05 dB/¡C (other ranges).

á     Dimensions:                            Meter (hxwxd) 130x80x30 mm., 5x3.125x1.25 inch,
