Epe conseil Cemprotec 34 User manual

Electro-Smog (EMF) Detector –Radio Frequency detection with enhanced sensitivity –High

frequency –Low frequency –Magnetic field - 1 MHz to 10 GHz frequency range –Detection 3G / 4G /

EPE Conseil would like to thank you for purchasing CEMPROTEC, before using it, please read this guide in its entirety, particularly the "Warnings" section.

This section specifically indicates the terms of use so that CEMPROTEC is used safely and within the warranty limitations.

What is Electro-Smog ?

We refer to Electro-Smog as Electro-Magnetic Fields (EMF) produced by technology. EMFs are “generated in the radiofrequency

bands (RF/EMF) by popular wireless devices like cell phones, cordless phones, baby monitors, tablets, Wi-Fi enabled computer

equipment, cell phone towers/ antenna arrays, radio/television broadcast facilities, and wireless smart meters among others. EMFs

are also emitted in the extremely low frequency band (ELF/EMF) by electrical appliances, electrical wiring, and power lines”.

Operating your detector : the battery

Insert / changing : when putting the battery in place, please ensure the cable is not placed underneath the battery, but it is

placed to the side of it.

Failure to comply with these instructions can damage the cable and cause the compartment lid to not close properly.

Turning on the device : Upon start up the battery level is displayed for 3 seconds then the following functions are set : Loud

speaker : active / Peak : disactivated

Battery level check: Upon start up the battery level is displayed for 3 seconds in the middle field row; the 2 other rows are off at this

point. This bar indicates the battery level with a full green bar representing a full battery.

Battery saving mode : to save the battery the device will switch itself off automatically after 20 minutes.

Push buttons :

·POWER button: press to switch on the device

·HF only button/loud speaker : press to active the Peak function

·HF only button/ loud speaker : press and hold for loud speaker

Display values for detection levels:

The 3 meter views display the levels of disturbance received for the following 3 types of sensors:

·Magnetic

·Electric

·High resolution

The display is as follows:

·If no disturbance the first green LED will stay lit:

·If a disturbance is detected the level is transcribed with one to two LEDs lit, giving a double level reading. The 8 LEDs therefore allow for

14 levels in total (see standard mode table). Display example :

Technical details :

Battery powered 9V, non-rechargeable.

Maximum current : 50mA

Dimensions : 179,5 x 46 x 32,2 mm

Weight of the device : 80g

Ideal temperature usage : -10°C +50°C

Cleaning recommendations : To clean, use a soft slightly damp cloth with rubbing alcohol.

Warning : CEMPROTEC is by no means a measuring device. CEMPROTEC is a detection device that gives tendances and approximations in relation to radiation.

The human body is likely to directly affect the detection. For a more precise detection, hold the device at least 50 cm away from you.

The devices are calibrated in an environment at a temperature of 20 ° C and a level of air humidity of 45%.

Store CEMPROTEC in a dry place with low humidity.

All modifications to this device are not authorized and will void the warranty.

Keep out of reach of children.

Quick start guide

Detect ambient electro-smog (i.e. electric fields from electric cables and appliances (such as computers, fuse boards, lamps and power

supplies), magnetic fields from high voltage lines, transformers and inverters, or Hyper Frequencies resulting from cell towers,

WiFi/WiMax networks or cordless landline phones, etc.)

1. Press the “on-off” button once to switch on the device in standard mode.

2. Hold the device at arm length away from your body.

3. Move slowly around to detect ambient electro-smog (the device performs a new detection every two seconds).

NB: to switch the sound on or off, press and hold the “on-off” button.

Detect ambient Radio Frequencies (RF) smog with enhanced sensitivity (detecting peak values) (i.e. Radio Frequencies resulting from

cell towers, WiFi/WiMax networks or cordless landline phones, radio and TV broadcasting, etc.)

1. Press the “on-off” button once to switch on the device in standard mode.

2. Press the “select” button once to enter high-resolution RF mode. LED 1 and 2 will stay lit.

3. Hold the device at arm length away from your body.

4. Move slowly around to detect ambient electro-smog (the device performs a new detection every two seconds).

NB: In this mode, all 24 LEDs show RF radiation. The LEDs at the bottom indicate the lowest radiation level while the LEDs at the top show the

highest level of radiation.
