Replacingthe Battery
Replace the 9V batterywhen“Low Battery” appears on thedisplay.Please switch off the unit before
openingthe batterycompartment.Removethebatteryandcarefullydisconnect the contact-clip.
Plug the contact-clip ontothenew batteryand put it back into the comp artment; then closethe
compartment.
Warning
The unit is not approved for usage in explosive areas!
The usage inpowerplants is not allowed!
This unitcannot measure alternating fields > 1 Hz!
The Instrumentmust be grounde dwhenhigh electrostatic chargesare present.
Sparking on themodularsystem can causedamageto the unit andneed to be avoided.
The EFM51 includes:
• Electro Field MeterEFM 51 including the 9V batteryand2 cm distance guides
• Storage Bag includinggrounding cable and clip
• User’s manualin German and English
• Calibration Certificate
Legend
Electrostatic Field Meter - EFM 51 V0805
Small hand-held Electrostatic Field Meter with digital display designed to measure electrostatic
charges and fields according to the field mill induction principle.
• Theinstrument measures the electrostatic voltage potential. A microcontroller calculates the field
strength (V/m) with the pre-selecteddistance (1cm, 5cm, 10cmand 20cm).
• In “E-Fieldmeter” mode, the instrumentdisplays the fieldstrength in “kV/m”
Measurement Principle
The induced chargecaused by the electricalfield, generates a current proportionalto the electrical field
strength. Theselective,parametric operating-amplifier measures the currentwithout affecting the
averaged time. There are no radioactive components inside the unit.
