Low Frequency EMF

The low-frequency electric and magnetic field meters that we offer set new standards for value in this class. All meters are combined electric and magnetic field meters (only exception: the ETC-meter) and offer the advantage of not only measuring the magneticfield, but also the electric field. Low-frequency electric fields are being reported more and more frequently in private homes and office buildings.

This is due to the extensive use of plasterboards (made of gypsum) and flake boards (made of wood chips) as materials for walls in building construction. Walls made of these materials pose little or no resistance to the propagation of low-frequency electric fields, and Building Biologists now do recommend measuring of those fields.

The entry-level meters offer great product quality and good accuracy at a fair price. The high end meters offered are ideal instruments for the professional user; they offer an extremely wide frequency response and an extended measurement range. Results of measurement are given in volts per meter (electric field) and nanotesla (magnetic field). A conversion table from nanotesla to milligauss is included.

Recommended exposure limits as suggested by the "Standard of building biology: methods of testing" are included in the manual. All meters come equipped with an audio signal feature. The volume of this audio signal is proportional to the field-strength measured. All meters are shipped with an extensive manual in English and German. The manual includes a detailed description of the measuring process, well explained with graphics and pictures.
