Narda Field Meters Provide Accurate Measurement of
RF Radiation Exposure in Industrial Environments
 HAUPPAUGE,
NY – September 20, 2011 – Narda Safety Test Systems, an L-3 Communications (NYSE: LLL) company, today introduced
two portable instruments designed exclusively for measurement of electromagnetic fields found in industrial
environments such as RF heat sealers and vinyl welders, semiconductor fabrication equipment, RF induction,
dielectric dryers and heaters, and plasma generation systems. The battery-powered meters allow industrial plant
managers and safety professionals to accurately ensure compliance with the IEEE C95.1-2005 standard and
recommendations from ICNIRP that dictate Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) to electromagnetic fields. The NIM-511
and NIM-513 industrial field meters measure only 1.5 x 2 x 8.1 in., weigh 1.3 lb, are extremely easy to use, and
employ separate detectors to simultaneously measure electric and magnetic fields.
The NIM-513 operates from
10 to 42 MHz and its calibration reference frequencies include of 27.12 MHz, the operating frequency of most heat
sealers and induction heaters, and 13.56 MHz employed by most semiconductor processing equipment. The NIM-511
operates over a much broader frequency range of 300 kHz to 100 MHz with a calibration reference frequency of 13.56
MHz, making it well-suited for virtually all equipment operating at the most common Industrial Scientific and
Medical (ISM) frequencies.
Both instruments are designed to be simple to operate. There is no need to change probes to measure electric or
magnetic fields as the probe contains sensors for measurement of both. Changing fields requires only pressing a
button. There is also no need to change the range of values over which the meters will operate because they
automatically display a numerical value over their entire measurement frequency range. “Zeroing” is automatically
performed at power-on and every 15 min. and calibration is required only once every two years. Both instruments
have an LED-backlit 1.5-in. LCD display, operate for about 22 hr. on a charge of their NiMH batteries, and are
supplied with a hard case, power supply, and shoulder strap.
The NIM-511 and NIM-513 industrial field
meters are available for immediate delivery from Narda Safety Test Solutions. More information is available at
