Protects visitors near sources of radiation
December 1st 2007 Link Microtek has
expanded its portfolio of RF
radiation safety products
with the addition of a
personal monitor that
provides protection for
visitors and non-specialist
staff in the vicinity of
transmitters or other
sources of RF radiation.
Made by Narda Safety
Test Solutions, the RadMan
XT ICNIRP GP checks that
electric field strengths are
within the limit values
specified in the 1998
General Public standard
produced by ICNIRP (the
International Commission
for Non-Ionising Radiation
Protection).
Whereas employees whose
jobs routinely involve
working in high-frequency
fields are allowed to be
exposed to higher field
strengths because they have
been trained and are aware
of the risks, the more
stringent 'General Public'
limits apply to visitors or
those who have no RF
hazard awareness training.
RadMan XT generates two
different alarm tones to
alert the user when the
electric field strength
reaches 50% and 100% of
the permitted limit value. It
has four LEDs, that indicate
field strength levels of 12.5,
25, 50 and 100%. More articles from Link Microtek Limited: |
