Datasheet Narda FieldMan Narda FieldMan ® All-in-one electromagnetic field meter ranging from 0 Hz to 90 GHz The Narda FieldMan performs highly accurate measure- ments of non-ionizing high-frequency radiation and low- frequency fields. Equipped with digital probes for measuring electric or magnetic field strengths, it covers the range from static and low-frequency fields in medical and industrial applications to mobile radio frequencies and millimeter waves. Flat frequency response probes (“flat probes”), as well as so-called shaped probes that evaluate the field strength on the basis of a human safety standard are available.

Probes with built-in FFT analysis enable spectral measurements along with time domain analyses up to frequencies of 400 kHz. All probes have a digital interface that transmits the measurement data to the basic device in a fail-safe manner. This eliminates the need to calibrate the basic unit. The FieldMan is available in several device variants: fully equipped, as an RF variant, as an LF variant, with voice recording or a radio-free device without a microphone. The RF and LF variants can be upgraded with the Data Logger software option for data storage.

Applications Digital Probes The Narda FieldMan is used to make precision measurements to establish human safety, particularly in workplace environments where high electric or magnetic field strengths are likely to occur. An essential task is to demonstrate compliance with general safety regulations, such as FCC, IEEE, ICNIRP or EMF Directive 2013/35/EU. Examples of measurement environments are: A large number of isotropic field probes are available for the FieldMan. All of them transmit their information and measurement data as a digital signal to the FieldMan, either via an electrical USB interface or via an optical COM interface.

In this way, interference is significantly reduced compared to high-resistance analog interfaces. The specially developed screw connectors and electrical contacts are extremely robust and resilient. Radiocommunication base stations (e.g. IEC / EN 62232) Broadcasting systems (e.g. IEC 62577) Radar and satellite communications systems Induction heating and melting (e.g. EN 50519) Household appliances (e.g. IEC / EN 62233) Electric welding equipment (e.g. IEC / EN 62822) Railroad operations (e.g. EN 50500) Automotive operations (e.g. IEC 62764) Energy supply systems (e.g. IEC / EN 62110) Electrical medical devices (e.g.

IEC / EN 60601) TEM cells and absorber chambers to demonstrate electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) The probes are automatically recognized after connection to the FieldMan. Sensors inside the probe record the temperature of the measuring location and transmit it to the FieldMan display. In addition to the automatic offset correction, the temperature measurement is also used to compensate for the typical temperature dependency of the sensor diodes. The advantages are uninterrupted measurements without zero adjustment and higher measurement accuracy over wide temperature ranges.

An automatic self-test function can even detect possible errors in the sensor system, which means that additional checking with a test generator is superfluous. Only the digital probes are calibrated. You can continue to use your FieldMan during this time. There are probes for many different applications with the appropriate frequency and level ranges. The following table gives an overview of common areas of application. Fig. 1.

Use and benefit Status LED Probe connection During the development of the FieldMan, special attention was paid to achieving simple, well-structured and fluid operation. The arrangement of many display elements known from smartphones, the self-explanatory symbols and the FieldMan processes, which are perfectly tailored to the measurement tasks, offer maximum ease of use. The large, anti-glare HD color display shows the measured values numerically and graphically with all important additional information in a clear form and is easy to read even in bright sunlight.

From simple broadband measurements to sophisticated time signal recording in real time or spectral frequency analysis of low-frequency fields, you have the right operating modes at your disposal. Brightness sensor Loudspeaker Microphone*, humidity sensor Status bar Position Probe information Measurement information Measurement isotropic Measurement single axes Measurement results can be commented on by text or voice* and can be saved as a screen copy at the push of a button. Built-in sensors record the current environmental conditions as well as the position data and automatically add them to the measurement result.

The built-in distance meter (option) shows you the measuring height above the ground, which makes the exact positioning of the measuring device much easier. For a better overview, the measurement results can be assigned to freely definable projects, which is particularly helpful when the measurement locations change frequently. If you want to document your measurement results with photos and videos, the FieldMan smartphone app will help you. For example, the app wirelessly* transfers media files created with the smartphone to the project directory on the FieldMan’s memory card or internal memory.

A newly developed, extremely powerful PC software "Narda-TSX" is available for documenting the measurement results, media and other information. It is Narda's new software platform for device configuration, measurement data evaluation and documentation, which in addition to the FieldMan will also support other Narda products in the future. * depending on the device variant Statistical values Interface panel Measurement graphic: Time curve, spectrum or bar graph Softkey symbols Softkeys Save key Back key Navigation key Fig. 2.
