1.0 Introduction
The ETS-Lindgren Holaday HI-2200
RF Survey Meter is designed for basic
radio frequency (RF) safety
measurements. The survey meter is a
compact measurement system with
interchangeable probes that provides
testing flexibility. Applications include
broadcast, commercial radio, television,
mobile communication, and health care
facilities. Electric and magnetic probes
are sold separately; see the
specifications section for a detailed
description of available probes.
The front panel of the HI-2200 includes an LCD display and a keypad; for a
description of the keys, see Keypad Description on page 23. A probe connection
is located at the top of the unit. At the bottom of the unit is a serial I/O connector
configured as a mini DIN, and a receptacle for mounting the unit on a tripod,
dielectric handle, or the harness.

10 | Introduction
Control / Meter Module Features
•Data logging capability
•Interchangeable field probes
•Easy to use space and temporal averaging
•Lightweight, hand-held design
•Large graphical display
•Adjustable alarm threshold
•User selectable meter units
•RS-232 data interface
•Greater than 20 hour battery life for four, AA, replaceable alkaline
batteries
•Reversible hand strap for right or left hand use
Harness
The HI-2200 harness is designed to assist in carrying the unit in the field. The
purpose of the harness is to provide hands-free movement. It is not intended to
be a climbing harness. Above ground level, use proper personal safety
equipment while climbing.
Standard Configuration
•RF Survey Meter
•RS-232 Cable, Mini-DIN to D89
•Upload/Download Software
•Harness
•Carrying Case
•AA Alkaline Batteries (4)

Introduction | 11
Optional Items
•H-651020 Fiber Optic Link Kit—ProbeView II™ software combined
with the Fiber Optic Link Kit allows the user to optically link the HI-2200
with a personal computer for remote monitoring and data logging. The
use of the optical interface and fiber cable reduces the possibility of
field disturbances as seen when using traditional wire cables.
•H-491009 Tripod—This
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.
