4.2 Measurement Modes

The device automatically measures EF, MF, and RF simultaneously.

  • Electric Field (EF): Measures in V/m (Volts per meter). Range: 1 ~ 1999 V/m.
  • Magnetic Field (MF): Measures in mG (milligauss) or µT (microtesla). Range: 0.1 ~ 1999.9 mG / 0.01 ~ 99.99 µT.
  • Radio Frequency (RF): Measures in mW/m² (milliwatts per square meter). Range: 0.1 ~ 999.9 mW/m².

4.3 Button Functions

  • Unit Button: Press to cycle through measurement units for Magnetic Field (mG/µT) or to adjust other unit-related settings if available.
  • Hold/Power Button:
    • Short press: Activates/deactivates Data Hold function, freezing the current readings on the display.
    • Long press: Powers the device on or off.
  • Mode Button: Press to cycle through display modes (e.g., real-time values, graph display) or to adjust alarm settings.

4.4 Interpreting Readings and Alarms

The device displays real-time, average, and maximum values. The color of the numeric values and curves will change to indicate different radiation levels (e.g., green for low, yellow for medium, red for high).

  • Alarm Thresholds: The device has pre-set thresholds for low, medium, and high radiation levels. When a measured value exceeds a threshold, the corresponding alarm (audible, LED, vibration, screen color change) will activate.
  • Overload Alarm: If the electromagnetic radiation exceeds the measurable range, an overload alarm will be triggered.
  • Battery Alert: The device continuously monitors battery status and provides alerts for low power.

4.5 Real-Time Curve Chart

The device can display a real-time curve chart (Figure 4, item 16) to visualize the dynamic changes in magnetic field strength over time. This feature helps in observing trends and identifying intermittent radiation sources.

5. Maintenance

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the device. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • Storage: Store the device in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
  • Battery Care: To prolong battery life, avoid fully discharging the battery frequently. If storing for an extended period, charge the device to approximately 50% and recharge every few months.
  • Avoid Impact: Protect the device from drops and strong impacts, which can damage internal components.

6. Troubleshooting

  • Device does not power on:
    • Ensure the battery is charged. Connect the device to a power source using the Type-C cable.
    • Press and hold the Power button for several seconds.
  • Inaccurate readings:
    • Ensure the device is held steadily during measurement. Rapid movements can affect accuracy.
    • Keep the device away from strong magnetic fields or other electronic devices that might interfere with readings, unless those are the intended measurement targets.
    • The device's calibration is based on manual operation; hold it by hand for best results.
  • Alarms not working:
    • Check the alarm settings using the Mode button to ensure they are enabled.
    • Verify that the measured values exceed the set thresholds.
  • Display is blank or frozen:
    • Try restarting the device by holding the Power button.
    • If the issue persists, contact customer support.
