Personal monitor checks RF exposure
The RadMan XT ICNIRP GP checks that electric field strengths are within the limit values specified in the 1998 General Public standard produced by ICNIRP.
Link Microtek has expanded its portfolio of RF radiation safety products with the addition of a personal monitor that provides protection for visitors and nonspecialist staff in the vicinity of transmitters or other sources of RF radiation Manufactured by Narda Safety Test Solutions, the RadMan XT ICNIRP GP checks that electric field strengths are within the limit values specified in the 1998 General Public standard produced by ICNIRP (the International Commission for nonIonising Radiation Protection)

Microwave components on short lead times
Link Microtek has produced a new shortform brochure providing an overview of the wide range of Narda microwave components now available from stock in the UK and continental Europe.
Whereas employees whose jobs routinely involve working in high-frequency fields are allowed to be exposed to higher field strengths because they have been trained and are aware of the risks, the more stringent general public limits apply to visitors or those who have no RF hazard awareness training.
Designed to be worn on the body, the RadMan XT monitor generates two different alarm tones to alert the user when the electric field strength reaches 50 and 100% of the permitted limit value.
In addition, it is equipped with four LEDs, which indicate field strength levels of 12.5, 25, 50 and 100%.
The monitor features a shaped frequency response to match the exposure thresholds laid down in the ICNIRP standard and is available in a choice of two models covering the frequency ranges of 1MHz to 40GHz or, for applications requiring ELF immunity, 27MHz to 40GHz.
To allow statistical evaluations, the RadMan XT ICNIRP GP stores the maximum, minimum and average measured values at regular intervals, which can be set between 1s and 3min.
An optional interface set consisting of an optical cable, adapter and software can be used to transfer the values to a PC for evaluation.
Powered by two AAA alkaline batteries, the RadMan XT measures 37 x 41 x 163mm, weighs only 130g and has an operating temperature range of -10 to +55C.
