Smart Fieldmeter® Digital
Electromagnetic
field monitor having flexible and
expandable architecture, state of
the art design with convenience
and simplicity for users on a budget.
Smart Fieldmeter®
Digital (SFD)
Features:
• SFD can operate with
multiple probes, both current and future models. Calibration
factors for multiple probes are stored internally and can be updated
from SD card by the user.
• Extremely large SFD dynamic range with
auto-ranging function offers high
accuracy and simple operation without any additional switching.
• Advanced programmable data sampling with
time averaging and spatial averaging
allows monitoring and recording of time variable signals to comply
with various RF safety and regulatory standards.
• Internal data
logging with removable memory card
provides programmable and practically unlimited data storage. No PC
is needed for data recording - log the data and read it later.
• Unique auto-zero
function can be operated either automatically or manually even in
the presence of the strongest RF fields, thus ensuring the high
sensitivity and long term stability.
• Serial bidirectional
data port with optically decoupled or fiber optic converters
can be used for PC data transfer and instrument control in test
system integration.
• IR remote control
allows SFD control and operation from a distance - no hands, no
wires.
• Sound alarm
with variable threshold warns if the preset level is exceeded.
• Portable
lightweight design with detachable isotropic probe and
standard battery (two AA primary or
rechargeable cells) offers
flexibility and advantages in
the field.
• SFD can display the data both in
field strength and power
density units.
• Bright color OLED
display can be set do display only the information important
to the user. Maximized display mode ensures
good visibility from a distance.
• User friendly
interface puts all frequently done functions at the upper
screens making them easy to find and to use.

Field Testing of Consumer
RF Meters
Several consumer and inspection grade RF
meters were evaluated for accuracy and usability. For all the tests,
a Holaday HI-3004EX with HSE probe was used as a primary reference.
This meter and probe combination was recently calibrated at the
factory, and the frequency specific probe calibration factors were
applied to all results. For most tests, a location was selected
where the field was relatively homogenous (not close to the ground
or other objects that would produce reflections). This was not
laboratory testing, and absolute accuracy is not claimed, but it
does represent real-world product usage conditions. Further
information on the testing process, along with site photos, will be
coming soon. Descriptive comments, features, and photos for all
meters tested will also be added, and new meters will be tested as
time and availability permit.
