3. Proster RD630 3-in-1 EMF Detector
3.1 Product Overview and Features
The Proster RD630 is a 3-in-1 EMF detector capable of detecting three types of electromagnetic field pollution: AC magnetic (MF), AC electric (EF), and Radio Frequency/Microwave (RF). It features a tri-color LCD display and an automatic alarm system.
- 3-in-1 Detection: Measures EF (Electric Field), MF (Magnetic Field), and RF (Radio Frequency).
- Tri-Color LCD Display: Visually indicates safety levels (Green: Safe, Yellow: Warning, Red: Excessive).
- Automatic Alarm: Sounds an alarm when EMF levels exceed preset safety thresholds.
- Mute Function: Allows for silent operation, useful in sensitive environments.
- Data Hold: Freezes the current reading.
- MAX Measurement: Records the maximum detected value.
- Automatic Shutdown: Powers off after 15 minutes of inactivity to conserve battery.

Figure 3.2: Examples of everyday items that emit different types of electromagnetic fields detectable by the RD630.
3.2 Setup
Battery Installation: Open the battery compartment cover on the back of the device. Insert the required batteries (typically AAA, refer to device markings) ensuring correct polarity. Close the cover securely.
3.3 Operating Instructions
Power On/Off: Press the power button (①) to turn the device on or off.
Measurement: Hold the detector in the area you wish to test. The EF, MF, and RF readings will be displayed simultaneously on the screen.
Understanding the Display: The LCD changes color (Green, Yellow, Red) and the buzzer sounds to indicate the level of EMF detected. Refer to the alarm threshold table below.
Figure 3.3: The tri-color display and alarm thresholds for the Proster RD630 EMF Detector, indicating safe, warning, and excessive levels.
Alarm Threshold Table:
| Alarm Threshold | EF (V/m) | MF (mG) | RF (mW/m²) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Safe (Green) | <250 | <50 | <50 |
| Alert (Yellow) | 250~500 | 50~100 | 50~100 |
| Avoid (Red) | >500 | >100 | >100 |

4. General Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the device surfaces. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, remove the batteries to prevent leakage. Store the devices in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Handling: Avoid dropping the devices or subjecting them to strong impacts.
5. Troubleshooting
- Device does not power on: Check battery installation and ensure batteries are not depleted. Replace if necessary.
- Inaccurate readings (Anemometer): Ensure the fan is unobstructed and facing the airflow directly. Avoid measuring in turbulent air.
- No EMF readings: Ensure the device is powered on and held correctly. Move closer to potential EMF sources.
- Alarm sounds continuously (EMF Detector): This indicates high EMF levels. Move away from the source or investigate the source of radiation. Use the mute function if an audible alarm is not desired.
- Display is dim or flickering: Batteries may be low. Replace them.
6. Safety Information
- Do not attempt to open or modify the devices. This may void the warranty and pose safety risks.
- Keep devices away from water and high humidity.
- These devices are for measurement and detection purposes only and should not be used as a substitute for professional safety assessments or medical advice.
- When using the EMF detector, be aware that high readings indicate potential exposure to electromagnetic fields. While the device provides thresholds, consult relevant safety guidelines and experts for comprehensive understanding and mitigation strategies.
- Dispose of batteries and electronic waste responsibly according to local regulations.
