ESI 22 –QUICK START GUIDE

Operation of ESI 22
• Insert / change battery:
Open the battery compartment, connect the 9 V-battery to the terminal and then place battery in the compartment.
Warning: Please make sure that the battery cable is not put underneath the battery but is placed at the side of the battery, between the battery
and the compartment wall. Failure to comply with instructions can cause damage to cable and / or battery compartment lid to not close properly.
• How to turn on the unit:
To switch the device on, press and release the “on/off” button once.
Battery check starts: LEDs on top of the unit are activated for 0.5 seconds; green for battery power 25…100%; red for
battery power < 25% - replace battery soon! Red LED flashing - battery too low for getting proper results - unit shuts down.
LED green –amber –red for each field type are activated briefly (testing of LED function).
The sound is activated.
When switched on, the ESI 22 electrosmog-detector is in standard operating mode.
To switch the sound on/off, press and hold the “on/off” button once.
To switch the device off, press and release the “on/off” button once.
The ESI 22 will switch off automatically after 10 minutes in order to save battery.
For best detection of Electro-Smog, hold the ESI 22 electrosmog-detector with your arm extended away from your body. Keep unit in place
without moving it, to allow ample time for the microcontroller to collect data from the sensors, and to calculate correct activation of LED.
• Standard operating mode:
In standard operating mode the LF electric and magnetic field strength are measured simultaneously. LF magnetic and electric fields: electrical equipment,
computers, lighting, radio alarm clocks, network components.
EMF levels increase and decrease as a result of:
•the distance from the source
•the power of the source / transmitter
•the type, structure and direction of the transmitter
•reflection of the radiation by neighbouring objects
•environmental, geographical and weather conditions
•the type, structure and shielding properties of the buildings concerned
Sound frequency changes with increasing field strengths.

• Plug checking mode:
To change to the plug checking mode, press and release the mode button “select” once.
The optical display at the top of the display unit is activated. The lower green LED is permanently illuminated, the upper red LED
comes on when an electric field is present. The plug checking mode allows you to test whether an electrical device without grounding, has its socket
plugged the right way around. Just hold the ESI 22 near the device (e.g. lamp) you want to test, with the device’s switch set on OFF. If an electric field is
present when the device is off, the socket is probably plugged the wrong way around.
• Battery saving function
The ESI 22 electrosmog indicator automatically turns off after 10 minutes, in order to save power. The ESI 22 electrosmog indicator can be
switched on again immediately.
• Battery monitoring
The ESI 22 electrosmog indicator features automatic battery monitoring. When the battery is low the red LED from the location mode flashes several times
and the unit switches off automatically. Reliable display of field strengths can no longer be guaranteed until the battery is changed. Do not throw away the
used battery; it may still have some life available for other uses (e.g. in a remote control unit or similar).
The ESI 22 was made in Europe.
