SERIAL NUMBER OF THE INSTRUMENT
You can find the Serial Number on the fiber optic holder of the instrument.
The Serial Number is in the form: 000XY00000.
The first three digits and the two letters are the Serial Number prefix, the last five
digits are the Serial Number suffix. The prefix is the same for identical instruments,
it changes only when a configuration change is made to the instrument.
The suffix is different for each instrument

SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS
This product has been designed, produced and tested in Italy, and it left the factory in conditions fully
complying with the current safety standards. To maintain it in safe conditions and ensure correct use,
these general instructions must be fully understood and applied before the product is used.
•When the device must be connected permanently, first provide effective grounding;
•If the device must be connected to other equipment or accessories, make sure they are all safely
grounded;
•In case of devices permanently connected to the power supply, and lacking any fuses or other
devices of mains protection, the power line must be equipped with adequate protection
commensurate to the consumption of all the devices connected to it;
•In case of connection of the device to the power mains, make sure before connection that the voltage
selected on the voltage switch and the fuses are adequate for the voltage of the actual mains;
•Devices in Safety Class I, equipped with connection to the power mains by means of cord and plug,
can only be plugged into a socket equipped with a ground wire;
•Any interruption or loosening of the ground wire or of a connecting power cable, inside or outside the
device, will cause a potential risk for the safety of the personnel;
•Ground connections must not be interrupted intentionally;
•To prevent the possible danger of electrocution, do not remove any covers, panels or guards installed
on the device, and refer only to NARDA Service Centers if maintenance should be necessary;
•To maintain adequate protection from fire hazards, replace fuses only with others of the same type
and rating;
•Follow the safety regulations and any additional instructions in this manual to prevent accidents and
damages.

1.1 Documentation
This Manual includes:
•Questionnaire to resend together with the instrument to service.
•Check list of supplied accessories.
1.2 Diode-based
isotropic electric
field probes
This type of probes are made by small antennas terminated on multiple
diodes. To ensure optimal isotropy, the antenna elements are configured
orthogonally in order to add all of the electromagnetic wave components.
They measure the field independently from field polarization and direction.
The diodes feature linear and quadratic responses to level variations.
At low levels of field the output voltages are proportional to the square
value of the field (E²) i.e. to the RMS value.
At higher field levels, up to the saturation, the response becomes linear,
thus the output voltages are proportional to the peak value of the field.
The calibration is performed in terms of RMS value in both cases, therefore
modulated sources may require a proper correction factor to be taken into
account.

1-2 General Information
1.3 Introduction
The EP-600/601/602/603/604 is a diode-type, three-axis technology-edge
isotropic sensor of electric fields: from 0.14 to 140 V/m in the frequency
range 100 kHz - 9.25 GHz (EP-600), from 0.5 to 500 V/m in the frequency
range 10 kHz - 9.25 GHz (EP-601), from 1.5 to 1500 V/m in the frequency
range 5 kHz - 9.25 GHz (EP-602), from 0.17 to 170 V/m in the frequency
range 300 kHz - 18 GHz (EP-603) and from 0.4 to 800 V/m in the frequency
range 300 kHz – 26.5 GHz (EP-604).
The spherical plastic housing includes: 6 orthogonal cones (one for each
monopole) that allow for an easy identification of the electric field vectors;
the ON/OFF button and LED; the battery and the charger connector.
A plastic fiber optic (not removable) is fixed to the EP-
600/601/602/603/604 housing; at its extremity two connectors compatible
with PMM devices allow for connection to PC (via optical adapter) or to the
hand-held meter PMM 8053B to display the measurements and to set the
proper filter for optimizing noise reduction, sampling time and battery
autonomy.
The software supplied allows for storing the measurements and convert the
same in text format. The recorded data can be viewed either as a graph or
as a table.
The EP-600/601/602/603/604 includes an E
2
PROM that stores serial
number, calibration data, calibration factors and Firmware version.
Three Analog/Digital converters – one for each axis - read the electric field
simultaneously; the sensors consist in 6 monopoles mounted orthogonally.
Another Analog/Digital converter internal to the microcontroller provides the
battery voltage and temperature measurements.
The EP-600/601/602/603/604 is supplied by an internal rechargeable
battery capable of up to 100 hours of operation.
