WARNINGS
CEMPROTEC is by no means a measuring device
CEMPROTEC is a detection device that gives tendencies and approximations in
relation to radiation.
The human body is likely to directly affect detection. For more accurate detections,
hold the device at least 50cm away from you.
The devices are calibrated in an environment at a temperature of 20°C and a
humidity level 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 the device away from children

Evaluaon Polluons Electromagnéque & Conseil
oers its experse in the detecon and control of
electromagnec radiaon
Some ideas for limiting your exposure to radiation
1. Use a low-radiaon cordless phone for short calls and a corded phone for long calls (if necessa-
ry we can refer you to manufacturers).
2. Set up call forwarding from your mobile phone to a landline phone when you are at home or in
the oce.
3. If possible, ground your Internet box (making sure you comply with the manufacturer's condi-
ons of use).
4. Favour an internet connecon with an Ethernet cable. When you use the cable, remember to
turn o the WiFi. For computers not equipped with RJ45 sockets, you can buy small adapters
that plug into USB sockets.)
5. Use a mer or a switch on the internet box power supply so you can cut it o at certain mes
of the day or night if necessary.
6. Use a USB grounding kit for a laptop.
7. Use shielded extension cords and mul-sockets at home or in the oce.

Using your detector, there are two main functions!
1. Standard Mode:
As soon as the device is turned on, it is in « Standard Mode » This mode detects the magnec eld, the
electric eld, and high frequencies (radio frequencies) separately.
2. Full HF Mode:
Press the HF ONLY briey. This funcon only allows the detecon of high frequencies (therefore not
electric and magnec elds). The LEDs light up from the boom to the top, from le to right. The cor-
responding LED values are on page 5 of this manual.
To turn o the SOUND press and hold the HF ONLY buon.
Inserting the device battery
Installing the 9V baery (supplied): The 9V baery must be con-
nected respecng the + and - terminals on the black connec-
tor.
Baery level display: When switching the device on the baery
level is displayed for 3 seconds in the middle row of LEDs,
while the other LEDs are o at this point. The LEDs will light up
from the red one at the top, stopping at the relevant LED to
show the baery level. The green LEDs at the boom repre-
sent a full baery.
Baery saving mode: To save power the device will automacally
switch itself o aer 20 minutes. For frequent usage, it is re-
commended to use a rechargeable baery.
What is electromagnetic pollution?
There are mainly two "families" of electromagnec radiaon:
High-frequency radiaon: Generated by popular wireless systems such as connected objects, Wi-Fi, cell
phone towers/ antenna arrays, cell phones, xed wireless phones, Bluetooth, baby-phones, etc.
Low-frequency radiaon: This concerns all appliances connected to the electrical network, medium and
high voltage power lines, electrical panels and motors.
Cables and electrical systems can create an electric eld and also a magnec eld depending on the
power.

Usage guidance
Interior or exterior pollution?
The rst me you use the device you may be surprised by the level of exposure if it is higher than ex-
pectaons.
It is absolutely necessary to idenfy the cause(s) of radiaon to have the clearest possible "picture" of
the situaon; this will make it possible to apply suitable and eecve protecon/shielding soluons
against the nuisances observed.
To help you quickly idenfy your electromagnec exposure:
1. Turn on the device in Standard mode (with or without speakerphone on)
2. Move slowly from room to room, paying parcular aenon to the areas where you stay for a
long me (e.g. the bedroom, living room, oce). If possible aer, switch o the electricity in
your home for a few moments and then repeat the same detecon room by room.
3. If the levels are the same, it means that the radiaon is coming from outside. If they are lower,
it means that you have an exposure generated by your own electrical installaon or a system
(s) connected to it.
For outside radiaon, some eecve soluons can be used such as paints, fabrics, curtains and plasc
lms on windows. These products act as screens and greatly reduce the penetraon of outside radia-
on coming inside. However, it is important to choose the right soluon according to the type of radia-
on that is detected, as unfortunately there is no eecve soluon that works for all types of radia-
on.
How to find the polluting devices inside?
It is advisable to use the detector and check the radiaon level room by room.
The pollung systems are mainly cordless phones (DECT), WiFi, alarms, and various connected objects.
If you unplug each device for a few moments you should immediately noce a decrease in radiaon
with your detector.
Please note! If you measure an internet box and you have a DECT phone next to it, you must be careful
to dissociate the two sources because these two systems have the same type of radiaon (high fre-
quency).

1. Detection in Standard Mode:
The standard mode is very praccal and allows the simultaneous
detecon of electric and magnec elds and high frequencies with
or without sound.
The device makes radiaon easily "visible" therefore making the
sources more easily idenable.
It can also be used to verify the protecon soluons that have been
put in place to reduce exposure to waves.
1. Briey press the "on-o" buon to switch the unit to standard
mode.
2. Hold the detector with your arm slightly extended forward.
3. Move around slowly to detect electromagnec elds. The
device performs a new detecon every two seconds.
NB: To acvate or deacvate the sound, press and hold on the select
buon.
2. Detection in FULL HF Mode:
The FULL HF mode enables an enhanced sensivity detecon that corresponds to the tolerance thresh-
olds of electro-sensive people.
In Standard Mode, high-frequencies are detected by 8 LEDs. In FULL HF Mode there are 24 LEDs for
greater accuracy. The LEDs light up from LEFT to RIGHT from the BOTTOM to the TOP.
The detected high-frequency sound corresponds to a FINE ACOUSTIC ANALYSIS which is very useful.
This allows the sources to be idened by a sound proporonal to the modulated frequency. In other
words, this funcon allows the ear to dierenate between dierent sources of radiaon. For exam-
ple, if it is from the WiFI, a DECT phone, or an antenna. However, if the SOUND bothers you, it can be
easily turned o by pressing and holding the HF ONLY buon.
Electromagnec waves from base staons, Wi/WiMax networks, or DECT phones, connected objects,
etc.
1. Press the ON/OFF buon briey to turn on the standard mode.
2. Press the “HF ONLY” buon to acvate the high-resoluon HF mode
3. Hold the detector with your arm slightly extended forward.
4. Move around slowly to detect electromagnec elds. The device performs a new detecon
every two seconds.
Note: In this mode, all 24 LEDs are used for wave detecon. The LEDs at the boom of the display indi-
cate the lowest radiaon level, while the LEDs at the top of the display show the highest level.

Hypersensitive mode table:
When the FULL HF funcon is acvated, the unit detects only high-frequencies.
Radiaon power is indicated by all 24 LEDs, from le to right from the boom to top, with a detecon
spectrum of 1 MHz to 10 GHz.
Standard Mode Table:
It indicates the power of radiaon by each row of 8 LEDs and 14 levels. The table indicates the numeri-
cal values for the LEDs :
