SERIAL NUMBER OF THE INSTRUMENT
You can find the serial number on the side of the metal bracket located under the
baseplate, on the side of the Power pack and on the side of the Solar panels.
Serial number is in the form: 000XY00000.
The first three digits and the two letters are the Serial Number prefix, the last five
digits are the Serial Number suffix. The prefix is the same for identical instruments, it
changes only when a configuration change is made to the instrument.
The suffix is different for each instrument.

1.1 Documentation
1.2 Introduction
1 – General Information
This Users Manual contains the following annexes:
• A form to be returned to NARDA with the device when requesting
service.
• A checklist of the accessories included in the shipment.
The AMS-8063 family products are revolutionary, accurate and reliable
solutions for remote and continuous monitoring of electromagnetic fields.
The AMS-8063 Area Monitor consist of a protective case made of material
that is transparent to electromagnetic fields and designed to house the
EHP-8063 E-H fields analyzer and the data transmission devices.
EHP-8063 has been designed for 3 axis accurate measurements of both
electric and magnetic fields, in the frequency range 9 kHz to 30 MHz.
The Wi-Fi Serial Converter (AMS-8063-00) allow the connection of the
system to a WLAN network with TCP/IP protocol.
The AMS-8063-01 can only be connected to the PC by RS232 cable.
The PC handles the AMS-8063-02 through the AMS-8063-02 Interface box
that allows a long optical connection
The AMS-8063-00 e AMS-8063-01 models are powered by high capacity
back-up batteries and solar panels (twin pair).
AMS-8063-02 does not have any solar cells, as it is powered by high
capacity rechargeable batteries.
An external power supply is provided for continuous, indoor operation for
all models.
The system of acquisition makes it possible to program each parameter
and transfer to a PC the data saved into the unit. The recorded data can be
viewed either as a graph or as a table.

1.7 EHP-8063
Fig. 1-3 Panel of EHP-8063
EHP-8063 is housed in a small cubic housing; the bottom side panel
includes an optic fiber connector, ON/OFF level switch and operation LED.
EHP-8063 is managed internally with a microprocessor that controls all the
main functions.
Electric or Magnetic field is picked up by three sensors on the X, Y and Z
orthogonal axes. A Digital/Analog conversion follows which transforms the
signal into numeric information processed by a Digital Signal Processing
unit.
The magnetic sensor system is composed by three magnetic loops
positioned orthogonal each other. The electric sensor system is composed
by three orthogonal parallel capacitors installed on opposite side of the
magnetic loops.
EHP-8063 has an internal rechargeable Ni-Mh battery that can be
recharged with the battery pack.
Key:
DATA: Led
POWER ON: switches EHP-8063 on/off
OPTIC LINK: Fiber optic connector
CHARGER: Not available
AUX: Not available
Correct readings may be conditioned by the nature of the places in
which the field monitoring system is installed.
The field sensor is affected by huge metallic masses or other objects
that may reflect the signal, if located in the vicinity of the unit.
Whenever possible, it is a good rule to install the unit at some
distance from walls, high voltage pylons, buildings and other
obstacles that could affect the signals reaching the sensor.
EHP-8063 is automatically detected by the control system integrated
in the AMS-8063, so it is not necessary to perform any operation.
Do not expose the EHP-8063 to a field higher than the max. allowed.
Field strengths exceeding the allowed may cause severe probe
damage whether it is connected or not, either turner ON or OFF.
When opening the protective case of the monitoring station, to avoid
damages, remove along its axis the protective case from probe.
The minimum voltage level for operation is 3V. Under this battery
voltage the analyzer will turn OFF automatically and the battery will
be charged.

The supplied support pole is used to position the EHP-8063 field analyzer
far from the data transmission/power supply devices and the operator
avoiding any alteration of the field to be monitored.
The support pole is fixed to the baseplate and to the EHP-8063 plexiglass
bracket.
The support pole has been specifically designed to prevent
influencing the field measurements.

2 - Installation and use
This section provides the information necessary to install and use the
AMS-8063 Area Monitoring System.
It also includes information regarding initial inspection, power
requirements, interconnections, working environment, assembly, cleaning,
storage and shipment.
Inspect the package for any possible damage
If the packaging or protective material are damaged, check that the
content is complete and that the instrument has not been damaged in
any of its electrical or mechanical parts. Check the accessories,
referring to the checklist enclosed with the manual. Report any
noticed damage to the forwarder and to NARDA.
The working conditions for the instrument are as follows:
• Temperature
• Relative humidity
From -20°C to +50°C
< 95%
The instrument should be stored in a clean, dry place free of acids, dust
and moisture
The storage environment must have the following specifications
• Temperature
• Relative humidity
• Altitude
From -20°C to + 70°C
< 99%
Up to 4000 m (a.s.l.)
Any part of the instrument, including the batteries, can only be replaced by
NARDA, therefore, in case of damage to parts and/or malfunctions, contact
the NARDA service center.
When the instrument has to be returned to NARDA for repairs, please
complete the form included in this User’s Manual, filling in all the
information necessary for the service requested.
To reduce the time necessary for the repair, be as specific as possible in
describing the malfunction. If the problem only occurs under specific
conditions, detail in the best possible way how to reproduce these
conditions.
Whenever possible, it is preferable to use the original packing for return,
making sure to wrap the device in heavy paper or plastic (see section 6 for
detailed packaging instructions). In alternative, pack the equipment in a
sturdy cardbox with plenty of impact absorbing material all around the
equipment, to ensure a tight fit and prevent it from moving inside the box.
Take special precautions to protect the solar cells and GSM modem
antenna. Seal the package securely and write FRAGILE on the outside to
encourage careful handling.

2.6.4 Support base, feet
and pole
Install the Support base on the site to be monitored.
Correct readings may be conditioned by the nature of the places in
which the AMS-8063 Area Monitor System is installed.
The field measuring is affected by huge metallic masses or other
objects that may reflect the signal, if located in the vicinity of the unit.
Whenever possible, it is a good rule to install the unit at some
distance from walls, high voltage pylons, buildings and other
obstacles that could affect the signals reaching the sensor.
Whenever possible, it is a good rule to install the unit at some
distance from walls, buildings and other obstacles that could affect
the wireless signals reaching the WiFi device (AMS-8063-00 only)

In the northern (boreal) hemisphere, the Area Monitor System should
be installed with the solar cells facing south, in order to take the best
advantage of the solar radiation for continuous recharging of the
internal batteries. An angle around of 35° with respect to vertical is
the ideal position for the solar cells to optimize solar radiation in the
European latitudes, specially in winter when the light levels are
generally lower than in summer.
To ensure maximum efficiency in recharging the battery and to take
advantage of the maximum operating autonomy, make sure the
position in which the unit is installed receives sunlight all the day
long and is not shaded by buildings or other screening objects.
To ensure maximum efficiency of recharging and optimum autonomy
of the internal batteries, it is a good rule to keep the solar cells clean,
inspecting them periodically.
If necessary, clean them with a soft cloth and a normal glass cleanser
