Notes, Cautions, and Warnings
Note: Denotes helpful information intended to provide tips for better
use of the product.
Caution: Denotes a hazard. Failure to follow instructions
could result in minor personal injury and/or property
damage. Included text gives proper procedures.
Warning: Denotes a hazard. Failure to follow instructions
could result in SEVERE personal injury and/or property
damage. Included text gives proper procedures.
Note: See the ETS-Lindgren Product Information Bulletin for safety,
regulatory, and other product marking information.
Laser Safety Considerations
LASER HAZARD. Laser power up to 150 mW at 830 nm may be
accessible at the fiber connector of the laser. However, the laser
beam itself is not hazardous as the interlock ensures that the
exposure time will be less than 30 ms.
Note: See the ETS-Lindgren Product Information Bulletin for safety,
regulatory, and other product marking information.

1.0 Introduction
The ETS-Lindgren EMC Field Probes embody the latest innovations in isotropic
sensor design and low-noise, miniaturized electronics. Each probe is a fully
intelligent sensor enabling fast and accurate EMF measurements with
industry-leading performance specifications. Optical coupling to a variety of
readout options makes these probes ideally suited for a wide range of field
monitoring applications.
The EMC field probes include laser-powered (laser) probes and battery-operated
(battery) probes. This manual includes operating information and specifications
for these probe models:
Laser-Powered

HI-6023
HI-6006
HI-6053
Standard Configuration
With each field probe you receive the following:
Battery Charger (battery-operated probes only)
Cables (10-meter)
Carrying Case

Readout Options
Note: For more information on using these readout options with
ETS-Lindgren probes, see Typical Configurations on page 17.
HI-6100 FIELD MONITOR (FOR LASER &BATTERY PROBES)
The HI-6100 Field Monitor accepts inputs from up to any four probes, and
analyzes and displays information on a user-configurable LCD.
The HI-6100 may be used in
conjunction with both the laser
and battery-operated probes.
HI-6100 Field Monitor
HI-6113 LASER DATA INTERFACE (FOR LASER PROBES)
The laser probes and the
HI-6113 Laser Data
Interface together
communicate with
ProbeView™ Laser
software through a USB
port on the computer.

HI-4413PFIBER OPTIC MODEM (FOR BATTERY PROBES)
The battery-powered probes use the
HI-4413P Fiber Optic Modem to
communicate with ProbeView II™
software through a serial port on the
computer.
HI-4413P Fiber Optic Modem
HI-4413USB FIBER OPTIC TO USB CONVERTER
(FOR BATTERY PROBES)
The battery-powered
probes use the
HI-4413USB Fiber Optic to
USB Converter to
communicate with
ProbeView II™ software
through a USB port on the
computer.

Additional Options
H-491009 TRIPOD
The H-491009 Dielectric Tripod is the
preferred method for mounting field probes
for making unperturbed field
measurements. It includes a 1/4–20 UNC
threaded stud for mounting any
ETS-Lindgren probe with a tripod mount. It
is designed with an adjustable center post
and a rotating mount.

PROBE STAND
The ETS-Lindgren Probe Stand
may also be used in testing
configurations. The probe stand
supports up to two probes.

About Probe Operation
Note: For information on reducing measurement uncertainties and
selecting the best field probe for your application, see Practical
Considerations for Radiated Immunities Measurement using
ETS-Lindgren EMC Probes located in the white papers section on
the ETS-Lindgren website: www.ets-lindgren.com.
Note: For complete information on setting up and operating the
field monitor, software, and other devices available for the laser and
battery-operated field probes, please see the documentation
provided with those products.
Note: Field probes are nominally rated for operation within a
specific frequency range, but may also respond to signals above
and below those frequencies. A probe may exhibit response to
frequencies below the lower end of the range, and may also
respond to frequencies above the upper end of the range, though
not consistently or predictably.
Note: Keep all conductive objects away from laser-powered and
battery-operated probes. Conductive objects in the proximity of the
probe can distort the near field and compromise measurement
accuracy. If the application requires measurements from a fixed
position, always mount the probe on a non-metallic platform using
non-metallic screws.
