The MicroAlert range of personal RF hazard monitors is designed to be clipped to a belt or shirt pocket.
Increasing numbers of technicians, engineers and other staff are involved at or near mobile phone basestations The RF radiation from these sites poses an obvious risk to personal health
Laplace Instruments has a new range of personal RF hazard monitors, the MicroAlert range, designed to be clipped to a belt or shirt pocket.
They are smaller than a matchbox and include a clip and a replaceable internal battery that typically provides 3 years of operation.
The professional version (TMA-P) is calibrated so that it gives an audible warning at a level of approximately 3mW/cm2.
This compares with the ICNIRP recommended levels of between 1 and 10mW/cm2 as a maximum safe level for occupational use.
The MicroAlert has been designed for minimum cost at GBP 148 each so that all personnel at risk can be issued with this safety device without compromising the budget.
