DESCRIPTION :

The Narda Broadband Field Meter NBM-550 is part of the NBM-500
device family. It makes extremely accurate measurements of nonionizing
radiation. Equipped with probes for measuring electric and
magnetic field strengths, it covers all frequencies from long wave up to
microwave radiation. 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. These probes are
calibrated separately from the field meter, and include a non-volatile
memory that contains the probe parameters and calibration data. They
can therefore be used with any device in the NBM-500 family without
losing any of the calibration accuracy.

APPLICATIONS :

The NBM-550 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. Some examples are:
• Measuring field strengths to comply with general safety
regulations
• Establishing safe zones
• Measuring and monitoring field strengths around broadcasting
and radar equipment
• Measuring field strengths of cell phone transmitters and satellite
communications systems to demonstrate compliance with
human safety standard limit values
• Measuring field strengths in the industrial environment, such as
plastics welding equipment, RF heating, tempering, and drying
equipment
• Measurements for protecting users of diathermy equipment and
other medical devices that generate high-frequency radiation
• Measuring field strength in TEM cells and absorber chambers to
demonstrate electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
