1.0 Introduction

The ETS-Lindgren EMC Field Probes embody the latest innovations in isotropic

sensor design and low-noise, miniaturized electronics. Each probe is a fully

intelligent sensor enabling fast and accurate EMF measurements with

industry-leading performance specifications. Optical coupling to a variety of

readout options makes these probes ideally suited for a wide range of field

monitoring applications.

The EMC field probes include laser-powered (laser) probes and battery-operated

probes. This manual includes operating information and specifications for these

probe models:

Introduction | 11

preferred method for mounting field probes

for making unperturbed field

measurements. It provides stable

placement for one probe, and includes a

1/4–20 UNC threaded stud for mounting

any ETS-Lindgren probe with a tripod

mount. It is designed with an adjustable

center post and a rotating mount.

Optional Tripod

14 | Introduction

The ETS-Lindgren Probe Stand

may also be used in testing

configurations. The probe stand

supports up to two probes. For

complete information on probe

stand assembly and operation, see

H-491269 Probe Stand on page 73.

Optional Probe Stand

Introduction | 15

For information on reducing measurement uncertainties and selecting

the best field probe for your application see the white paper Practical

Considerations for Radiated Immunities Measurement using
ETS-Lindgren EMC Field Probes. This document is located on the

ETS-Lindgren website at: www.ets-lindgren.com/whitepapers.

For complete information on setting up and operating the field monitor,

software, and other devices available for the laser and

battery-operated field probes, please see the documentation provided

with those products.

Field probes are nominally rated for operation within a specific

frequency range, but may also respond to signals above and below

those frequencies. A probe may exhibit response to frequencies below

the lower end of the range, and may also respond to frequencies

above the upper end of the range, though not consistently or

predictably.

Keep all conductive objects away from laser-powered and

battery-operated probes. Conductive objects in the proximity of the

probe can distort the near field and compromise measurement

accuracy. If the application requires measurements from a fixed

position, always mount the probe on a non-metallic platform, using

non-metallic screws.

About Probe Operation

16 | Introduction

2.0 Typical Configurations

Customer Service.

WARRANTY

3.0 Maintenance

If you have one of the following probes, see Probe Shield Care and Replacement

on page 81: HI-6122, HI-6022, HI-6105, or HI-6005 Field Probe.

Annual Calibration

See the Product Information Bulletin included with your shipment for information

on ETS-Lindgren calibration services.

Maintenance | 21

Before performing any maintenance, disconnect

the fiber optic cables from the unit and turn off

power.

When disconnecting fiber optic cables, apply the

included dust caps to the ends to maintain their

integrity.

Before connecting fiber optic cables, clean the

connector tips and in-line connectors.

Before attaching in-line connectors, clean them

with moisture-free compressed air.

Failure to perform these tasks may result in

damage to the fiber optic connectors or cables.

Laser Probes and Maintenance of Fiber Optics

The fiber optic connectors and cables used with laser-powered probes can be

damaged from airborne particles, humidity and moisture, oils from the human

body, and debris from the connectors they plug into. Always handle connectors

and cables with care, using the following guidelines.

Upgrade Policies

Periodically, probes are upgraded to enhance functionality. Contact

ETS-Lindgren Customer Service for the upgrade status of your probe.

Service Procedures

For the steps to return a system or system component to ETS-Lindgren for

service, see the Product Information Bulletin included with your shipment.

22 | Maintenance

The laser driver in the HI-6100 Field Monitor also incorporates this

safety interlock mechanism, and operates in the same manner.

4.0 Laser-Powered Field Probes

The HI-61XX Series LaserPro™ Field Probe is a laser-powered probe, an

excellent tool for electric field mapping, industrial monitoring, and EMC field

measurements.

The HI-61XX Series probes contain a photo-voltaic converter that provides power

to the probe circuitry when sufficient light power is received by the converter. The

light power is generated by a laser in the HI-6113 Laser Data Interface, and is

transmitted to the converter through an optical fiber in the duplex fiber optic

cable. The probe communicates with the HI-6113 through this fiber optic cable.

Receiving power from the HI-6113 allows for unlimited test times.

The probe system incorporates a safety interlock mechanism that turns off the

laser if the HI-6113 does not receive data from the probe within a specified time

frame. The safety mechanism is intended to prevent injury from the laser if the

HI-6113 issues a command to turn on the laser while the fiber optic cables are

disconnected, improperly connected, cut, or damaged.

The HI-6100 Field Monitor may also be used with the HI-61XX Series for

RFI/EMC testing. For more information on readout options, see page 12.

If you have an HI-6122,

HI-6022, HI-6105, or

HI-6005 Field Probe, over

time the probe shields

(the cone-shaped

structures with axis

labels) may accumulate

foreign materials that

could become embedded

in the shield surface.

Probe shields must be

kept clean to maintain

proper operation.

Lift the shield high enough to clear the internal antenna assembly, or

you may damage the assembly. Never touch the antenna assembly.

You may transfer a static charge to the assembly that may distort or

disable the measuring capability in that axis.

Make sure to clear the internal antenna assembly when lowering the

shield or you may damage the assembly.

7.0 Probe Shield Care and Replacement

If the probe shields need to be replaced, you may order them from

ETS-Lindgren. Follow these steps to replace the probe shields:

1. Remove the nylon screws from the probe shield.

2. Lift the shield straight up and away from the housing.

3. With the probe in a protective, supportive position, carefully replace the

probe shield by lowering it straight down onto the housing.

Probe Shield Care and Replacement | 81

Over-tightening the screws may damage the screw heads. If you

require additional nylon screws, you may order them from

ETS-Lindgren or obtain them locally. Non-conductive screws must be

used for this application. Never use metal screws.

The HI-6053 Field Probe contains four AAA Nickel-Metal Hydride

(NiMH) batteries, and uses the Series H-491198-01 Battery Charger.

Before operating the Series H-491198-01 Battery
Charger, see General Safety Considerations on

page ix.

The H-491198-01 Nickel-Metal

Hydride (NiMH) Battery Charger is

a dual power source battery charger.

It charges 4.8 volt 220 mA NiMH

batteries and is powered by

85-264 VAC line power or

12.5 VDC. The H-491198-01 Battery

Charger uses a -(dV)/(dT) negative

delta V technique to determine when

the battery is fully charged, which is

typically two hours. With this

technique, the charge state of the

battery has no effect other than

shortening the charge time.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

INTRODUCTION

Housed in a rugged enclosure, power enters the battery charger through a power

entry module, which contains the fuses, or an optional cigarette lighter plug

adapter. The front face of the battery charger displays LEDs that provide the

operating status. The battery charger connects to the device being charged

through a short cord terminated with a power jack.

An integrated circuit within the battery charger monitors the battery voltage and

controls the charging functions according to the charge state of the battery.

Series H-491198-01 Battery Charger for NiMH Batteries | 85

BATTERY LIFE

The NiMH batteries powering the battery-operated probe have high energy

density for maximum operating time between charges, but also have a significant

self-discharge characteristic. When the probe is stored for longer than a week or

two, the batteries will discharge even though not in use. Leaving the batteries in

a discharged condition for long periods of time may result in reduced battery life.

For optimum testing time, charge the batteries before use.

The battery charger is microprocessor controlled to charge the batteries in the

fastest possible manner. When the charger senses that the batteries are fully

charged, the charging current drops to a maintenance level. This level is

sufficient to maintain the full charged without causing battery damage. It is

acceptable to leave the probe connected to the battery charger for extended

periods of time.

With proper care, the batteries should last two to three years. Follow these

recommendations to ensure maximum battery life and optimum testing

performance:

 Turn the probe off when the probe is not in use. Leaving the probe on

for extended periods of time will damage the batteries. When the

batteries are discharged, the flashing power ON indicator will not

function.

 When possible, leave the robe connected to the battery charger, and

the battery charger connected to the mains electrical supply (charger

operating). The battery charger status indicators will show CHARGER

ON and COMPLETE when the batteries are on a maintenance charge.

 Operate the robe only within the optimum operating temperature range

of +20ºC to +30ºC (+68ºF to +86ºF). Although NiMH batteries are

rated for operation in temperatures from -20ºC to +65ºC

(-4ºF to +140ºF), operating the probe at temperature extremes

reduces the operating time of the batteries.

 Make sure the batteries are fully charged before resuming operation.

The batteries do not require periodic deep discharges to reverse the

effect caused by repeated shallow discharges, but undercharging can

reduce battery capacity.

86 | Series H-491198-01 Battery Charger for NiMH Batteries

Never attempt to recharge a non-rechargeable

battery.

Fully charged batteries (nominal output voltage of 4.8 VDC) provide up to

30 hours of operation. When the batteries have discharged to 4.4 VDC, the probe

will operate, but the batteries need to be charged. When the voltage drops below

4.0 VDC, measurement accuracy may be compromised by continued operation.

When the battery voltage indication is less than 4 volts, a low battery indication is

attached to the output data string warning of the problem. ETS-Lindgren software

applications provide a warning indication on the display screen of the readout

device. It is recommended that custom software packages using data from the

probe monitor the data output for this condition.

If the batteries exhibit low terminal voltages during charging, or if they appear

unable to acquire or maintain a charge, the batteries may be shorted or

damaged. To replace the batteries, see HI-6053 Battery Replacement on

page 62.

CHARGING THE BATTERIES

For maximum battery life, fully charge the batteries before placing the probe into

service. Failing to fully charge the batteries may result in reduced battery life and

cause premature battery failure.

To charge a battery:

1. Make sure the probe is off or the batteries will not charge.

2. Connect the battery charger to the electrical mains, and then plug the

charger output into the battery charger connector on the probe.

Series H-491198-01 Battery Charger for NiMH Batteries | 87

CHARGING INDICATORS

The following LEDs are located on the front of the battery charger:

 POWER ON (green)—Indicates the battery charger is connected to the

AC power source.

 NO BATTERY (amber)—Indicates the battery charger does not detect

a battery.

 PENDING (amber)—Indicates the battery charger detects a battery.

Before fast charging can begin, the battery voltage must fall within

predetermined acceptable limits. A pulse-trickle charge is provided to

bring a depleted battery to a valid charge prior to fast charge.

 CHARGING (amber)—Indicates the voltage pre-qualification condition

has been met, and fast charge has started.

Fast charging continues until termination by a peak voltage detect or a

maximum charge time. For peak voltage detect, the fast charge is

terminated when the battery voltage is lower than the previously

measured values by 24mV. If a peak voltage is not detected, then the

fast charge is terminated when the maximum time limit of 180 minutes

is reached.

 COMPLETE (green)—Indicates a fast charging peak voltage is

detected.

If the probe is turned on during the fast charge period of the charge

cycle, the current surge that the batteries provide to the electronics in

the probe will cause a momentary voltage drop on the batteries,

causing the charger to terminate the fast charge based on a peak

voltage detect condition.

The battery charger switches to top-off charge mode that provides a charge

current one-eighth of the fast charge rate. This charge continues from the time

when a peak voltage detect terminates the fast charge, until the maximum time of

180 minutes is reached. If the probe is disconnected from the charger at this

point in the charge cycle, the batteries will operate properly.

88 | Series H-491198-01 Battery Charger for NiMH Batteries

Following the maximum time of 180 minutes, a pulse-trickle charge mode is used

to compensate for the self-discharge of the batteries while idle in the charger.

The fast charge current is low enough that there is not always enough heating of

the battery cells to cause the voltage to drop. With no voltage drop there is no

peak voltage detection, and the fast charge will terminate after the maximum time

of 180 minutes is reached.

SYNCHRONIZING THE BATTERY CHARGE INDICATOR

The probe has internal circuitry to track the charge condition of the batteries.

NiMH batteries have a sharp discharge-curve knee, which means there is little

indication that the batteries are nearly discharged prior to a low battery condition.

The internal circuitry tracks the charging and discharging currents of the batteries

and displays the calculated battery condition.

It is possible that the battery charge indication may lose synchronization with the

actual battery condition. A loss of synchronization may be indicated by a low

battery charge alert after the batteries were recently fully charged. Loss of

synchronization may also be indicated by short battery life and premature low

battery alert.

To synchronize the battery charge indicator:

1. Make sure the probe is off or the batteries will not charge.

2. Connect the battery charger to the electrical mains, and then plug the

charger output into the battery charger connector on the probe.

3. Press the DISCHARGE button on the battery charger. The batteries

will fully discharge, and then fully recharge. The total time required to

discharge and recharge is approximately seven hours.

4. For best results, repeat the process once. However, it may be

necessary to repeat the process three times for proper

synchronization. The synchronization process may take up to 12

hours.

When completely charged, the battery indicator for the probe should indicate a

charge level of more than 90%.
