SAFETY INFORMATION
See the ETS-Lindgren Product Information Bulletin for safety, regulatory, and other
product marking information.
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.

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-6122

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

About Probe Operation
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.

TYPICAL CONFIGURATIONS
A variety of configurations are available with the field monitors, probes, and
other devices. Following are typical examples of how the components can be
assembled to accommodate most testing environments.

MAINTENANCE
Probe Shield Care and Replacement
This section applies only to the following probes; for probe shield part
numbers:
• HI-6122
• HI-6105
• HI-6023
• HI-6006
Before performing any
maintenance, follow
the safety information
in the ETS-Lindgren
Product Information
Bulletin included with
your shipment.
Maintenance of probes
is limited to external
components like
cables, connectors, and
probe shields (select
models only). For
further information on
fiber optic cable and
connector maintenance,
see Laser Probes
and Maintenance of
Fiber Optics.
Warranty may be void if
the housing is opened.
Note: If you have any
questions concerning
maintenance, contact
our ETS-Lindgren
Customer Service.
Over time the probe shields may
accumulate foreign materials
that could become embedded in
the shield surface. Probe shields
must be kept clean to maintain
proper operation.
If the probe shields need to be replaced, you may order them from ETS-
Lindgren. Follow these steps to replace the probe shields:
1. Remove the nylon screws from the probe shield.
2. Lift the shield straight up and away from the housing.
Lift the shield high enough to clear the internal antenna assembly, or
you may damage the assembly. Never touch the antenna assembly. You
may transfer a static charge to the assembly that may distort or disable
the measuring capability in that axis.
3. With the probe in a protective, supportive position, carefully replace the
probe shield by lowering it straight down onto the housing.
Make sure to clear the internal antenna assembly when lowering the
shield or you may damage the assembly.
4. Replace the screws snugly without over-tightening them.
Over-tightening the screws may damage the screw heads. If you require
additional nylon screws, you may order them from ETS-Lindgren or
obtain them locally. Non-conductive screws must be used for this
application. Never use metal screws.
5. Repeat this procedure for the other shields, if necessary.

16
Note: To order
replacement screws for
the HI-6023 / HI-6006
battery hatch,
see page 19.
Note: The HI-6006
probe is shown in the
following steps; the
steps are identical for
the HI-6023.
Note: Notice the
location of the +
(positive) and –
(negative) marks on
the battery and inside
the probe. You will use
these marks in
step 4 to install the
new battery.
Battery Replacement
HI-6023 & HI-6006 Battery Replacement
1. Rotate the two hatch
screws and remove.
3. Remove the spent battery.
2. Remove the hatch.
4. Insert the new battery, making
sure to align the + (positive) and
– (negative) marks on the battery
with the marks on the probe.
5. Replace the hatch and the
two screws.

Note: If you are not
qualified to perform
this procedure, please
consult ETS-Lindgren
Customer Service.
ETS-Lindgren is not
responsible for
damage to the probe
as a result of replacing
the batteries.
Note: See the
Product Information
Bulletin included
with your shipment
for information on
ETS-Lindgren
calibration services.
Note: Recycle the
used batteries, or
dispose of them safely
and properly. Many
cities collect used
batteries for recycling
or disposal. You may
contact your local
waste disposal agency
for information on
battery recycling
and disposal.
HI-6053 Battery Replacement
During the annual calibration of your HI-6053 at the ETS-Lindgren factory, the
batteries are tested to verify continued operability. If required, the batteries
are replaced at that time. It is rare that you should need to replace the
batteries between calibration checks, but in that event, follow these steps.
1. Turn the HI-6053 off. Verify that the green indicator light is not flashing.
2. Carefully disconnect the fiber optic cables from the Transmit and
Receive connectors.
3. Remove the two nuts; one on each fiber optic connector.
4. Remove the four screws from the bottom of the electronics housing.
5. Lift the bottom away from the
housing. Wires from the power
button are connected to the
internal circuitry, so carefully
turn the bottom over and place
it to the side, avoiding placing
stress on the wires.
6. A single connector attaches the two boards together. Withdraw the
two boards from the housing at the same time. The boards should
easily slide out of the tracks.
7. Detach the two boards by carefully separating them at the connector,
avoiding damage to the pins.
8. Replace the four AAA rechargeable NiMH batteries, orienting the +/-
ends as indicated.

18
Before performing
any maintenance,
disconnect the fiber
optic cables from the
unit and turn off power.
When disconnecting
fiber optic cables, apply
the included dust caps
to the ends to maintain
their integrity.
Before connecting fiber
optic cables, clean the
connector tips and in-
line connectors.
Before attaching in-line
connectors, clean them
with moisture-free
compressed air.
Failure to perform
these tasks may result
in the damage to the
fiber optic connectors
or cables.
Note: ETS-Lindgren
may substitute a
similar part or new
part number with the
same functionality
for another part/part
number. Contact ETS-
Lindgren for questions
about part numbers
and ordering parts.
9. Reattach the two boards at the connector.
10. Slide the two boards into the correct tracks inside the housing, and
carefully push them until they are completely recessed.
11. Replace the bottom of the housing, avoiding damage to the power
button wires.
12. Replace and tighten the four screws into the bottom of the housing.
13. Replace the two nuts removed in step 3; one on each fiber
optic connector.
Laser Probes and Maintenance of Fiber Optics
Fiber optic connectors and cables can be damaged from airborne particles,
humidity and moisture, oils from the human body, and debris from the
connectors they plug into. Always handle connectors and cables with care,
using the following guidelines.
