Description
The NBM-500 Series is the most accurate non-ionizing radiation survey system available. It provides the broadest frequency coverage of electric and magnetic fields. Both flat response probes and probes shaped to international standards are available. All NBM probes have a non-volatile memory containing device parameters and calibration data. Probes are calibrated independently of the meter. Any NBM probe can be used with any NBM-500 Series meter and still maintain total calibration.
Applications
Precision measurement of electric and magnetic field strength for personal safety at work where high radiation levels are present, such as:
General RF Safety program measurements
Service work on transmitting and radar equipment
Service work on mobile antennas, broadcasting and satellite
communication systems Working with heating and hardening machines in the industry
Operating diathermy equipment and other medical instruments
producing short-wave radiation Drying equipment in the tanning and timber industries
