DATA

The EM Eye Meter is a state-of-the-art universal hand held instrument that measures ESD events, EMI and RF signals all in one instrument. It's multifunction capability and versatility is virtually unmatched in the ESD industry with an ESD events sensor, and EMI sensor and an RF signal sensor available in one device.

Features

  • The ESD events sensor detects in HBM (human body model), CDM (charge device model) and MM (machine model) modes, identifies steps in the process where ESD events occur and verifies if ESD controls are functioning as designed.
  • It separates actual CDM events from non-ESD related EMI saving cost of controls and yield/line downtime.
  • The ESD event counter tracks the number of events above the set threshold along with the strength of discharge, so immediate changes to the ESD environment can be made.
  • The EMI sensor detects and measures transient signals minimizing interference with normal operation of sensitive equipment.
  • The RF signal sensor detects reception of transmitted signals providing for exceptional sensitivity and true RF input.
  • The unit's hand held size allows for ease of use anywhere on the factory floor enabling comprehensive ESD assessments on the spot.
  • The user friendly touch screen and color display provide an exceptional user interface. All the information is on one screen making it easy and convenient to use.
  • The memory card provides data logging capability.

Digital Power Meter

TDM-200

Digital Power Meter

The Power Density Meter measures the RF field strength over the range 0.001 to 2000 µW/cm2. This extremely sensitive meter can accurately measure the RF background level even in rural areas. The meter reads true power density directly on the display with 3 ranges, 20, 200 and 2000 µW/cm2. For comparison, a typical cordless phone will produce about 0.01 µW/cm2 at a distance of 50 feet. At FM, TV and mobile phone frequencies, accuracy, is better than 3dB. Unlike many other power meters, it has built-in antenna and detection system which yields a flat response over a very wide range of frequencies. Even at 5GHz, signals can still be measured. The meter features an internal 9v battery with a low battery indication when there is about 10 minutes life remaining.

ScanEM Near Field Probes Detect, Locate, and Measure Electromagnetic Emission to Accelerate EMC Approval

 

Shorten your development schedule and save money on product re-design by using the proper EMC tools at the beginning of the project.

ScanEM probes are the most versatile, and affordable instruments for detecting, locating and measuring electromagnetic emissions.

Professionals in small and large companies all over the world use ScanEM probes.

ScanEM probes will help you reliably predict EM behavior of the product and to locate emission sources in a matter of seconds. They detect the presence of an electromagnetic field and provide audio and visual indications of its relative strength. ScanEM probes can pinpoint exact sources of emission down to a single trace or component.

Connect the ScanEM-C to a spectrum analyzer and get the best performing near-field probes in the industry. With a built-in low-noise amplifier, they provide a strong broadband output signal that allows you to see what you have been missing using passive probes. One of ScanEM's unique advantages is flat frequency response that provides accurate information about spectral content of the signal

As ultra-wide bandwidth, non-contact voltage and current probes for an oscilloscope, ScanEM-C will reveal previously invisible transients. ScanEM-HC H-field probe uniquely enables you to observe current waveforms in traces or even ground plane without affecting your board.

As an EM field probe for a multimeter, ScanEM-C will provide DC voltage that is a function of the field strength.

ScanEM-QC probes were originally designed for, and in cooperation with, the FCC in order to enable their inspectors to check for violators of rules in the field. After their successful test and adoption of the probes for FCC use, now these probes are available for engineers, technicians and QA inspectors to test their products the same way the FCC does.

Smart Fieldmeter™ can be used for evaluation and measurements of EM fields from various sources:

  • AM, FM, TV and Cellular stations.

  • Transmitters & CB radios.

  • Computer & Instrument Monitors.

  • Cell Phones.

  • Microwave Ovens.

  • Industrial, Scientific and Medical Equipment.

  • EMC Test Systems.

Power Line Interference Probe

PLIP

 

Power Line Interference Probe 

 

DATA

Compliance
The PLIP is designed to comply with the CIPR16 requirements for a voltage probe. The design incorporates several features that are in addition to the basic CISPR16 specifications.
These offer three major advantages:

Safety Complete galvanic isolation for protection against line voltages.

Sensitivity The PLIP incorporates a 30dB RF amplifier. This results in a nominal antenna factor (insertion loss) of 0dB, against that of a 'conventional' voltage probe of 30dB.

Protection The PLIP features signal filtering with transient limiter and output clamping. The net result is that any analyzer or receiver connected to the output of the PLIP is protected against damage due to high or transient signal conditions.

Monitoring of the Signals from Transmitters and on Data Cables with Model CTC112 and Model CTC116

Active remote broadband sensors models CTC112 (radiated emission - E-field) and CTC116 (conducted emission) allow for measurement and monitoring of electromagnetic fields in remote locations. Each sensor has built-in low-noise preamplifier with ~15dB of gain and drives standard 50 Ohms input of any test equipment, such as spectrum analyzer, oscilloscope, etc.

EMAlert

 

EMAlert®

 

EMI Monitor

 

DATA

 

EMAlert Applications

EMAlert® Model CTC022 and Model CTC026 modules installed inside of critical equipment continuously monitor emission level, as well as its amplitude modulation since the latter can cause more damage that steady field. Until the level of EMI exceeds preset level (user-set), EMAlert® modules are just passive observers. The moment the interference exceeds the preset level, however, EMAlert® module sends signal that the EM EventTM has occurred and then begins to probe the host equipment by sending pulses every 3ms. The host equipment is supposed to respond with similar pulses if it continues to function properly. Should the host fail to respond, EMAlert® issues Equipment Failure signal and, if desired, attempts to reset the host.

TBM-100

 

RF Hazard Detector

 

DATA

The Broadband meter was designed as a general purpose electromagnetic measurement tool. It detects electric and
magnetic fields from power line frequencies up to several GHz.
It is unique in its combination of a magnetic AC gaussmeter, electric field meter and an RF field strength meter, all in one small package. Therefore, it can be used to study and measure the magnetic fields produced by electrical power
cables (including overhead lines), the fields produced by video displays, right through to the radiation emitted by
microwave ovens, mobile phones and wireless LANs.
Other applications include the measurement of RF environments to minimise health risks, detection of leakage from microwave ovens and detection of concealed transmitters

DATA

Radio / microwave alarm is the size of a small pager, just 5.7cm x 4cm x 2cm. The high sensitivity version is ideal for anyone who needs to find out exactly what is emitting radio or microwaves, including hidden sources. An industrial version is triggered by higher levels of radiation and is ideal for personnel alarm use when working near transmitters or RF sources.

The alarm provides an audio output that bleeps when the pre-set level is reached, the frequency of the bleeps increases if the signal level increases.

The sensitive version will detect a typical mobile phone base station from 100 meters, a mobile phone at 6 meters and a microwave oven at 3 -10 meters. The sensitivity can be adjusted to suit the application with a small adjustment knob.
