EMF-523

Procedure :

Hold the meter at arm's length.

Make several measurements at various locations

around your work place or the interested areas as

described above. This is particularly important if

the field conditions are unknown and possibly

dangerous.

Pay special attention to measuring the vicinity of

possible radiation sources. Apart from active

sources, those components connected to a

source may also act as radiators. For example ,

the cables used in diathermy equipment may also

radiate electromagnetic energy. Note that metallic

objects within the field may locally concentrate or

amplify the field from a distant source.

13 Long-term exposure measurements

Location

Place the meter between yourself and the

suspected source of radiation. Make

measurements at those points where parts of your

body are nearest to the source of radiation.

Note : Use the "Average" or" Max average"

modes only when the instantaneous

measurement values are fluctuating greatly.

You may fix the meter to a wooden or plastic

tripod.
