SERIAL NUMBER OF THE INSTRUMENT
You can find the serial number on the upper cover of the receiver unit, on the side
of the receiver unit baseplate and on the side of the Power Pack.
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.

1.1 Documentation
This Users Manual contains the following annexes:
•A form to be returned to NARDA with the device when requesting
service.
•A checklist of the accessories included in the shipment.
1.2 Introduction
The AMS-8061 system is a revolutionary, accurate and reliable solution for
remote and continuous monitoring of electromagnetic fields both in
broadband and in frequency selective mode.
The AMS-8061 system includes an accurate and sensitive receiver which,
being equipped with the proper filters and coupled to the specific
broadband, omni-directional antennas, make it possible to measure the
contribution to the total field of all the user definable frequency bands.
AMS-8061 unit is equipped with solar panel (twin pair) and high capacity
back-up batteries that ensure practically unlimited autonomy under
conditions of normal sunlight. An external power supply is provided for
continuous, indoor operation.
The system of acquisition allow to program each parameter and transfer to
a PC the data saved into the unit. The recorded data can be viewed either
as a graph or as a table.
In the event of any alarm, such as a threshold setting being exceeded, or
any attempt to tamper with the remote unit, or a breakdown of the unit,
AMS-8061, which includes a 4G GSM/GPRS modem, can be programmed
to send a SMS, describing the alarm, to the user’s mobile phone, and/or
generate a point-to-point data call to the controller PC. Station set for
Modem/FTP communication mode can be programmed to access the
user’s FTP server and download measurement results as soon as any
alarm condition occurs.

1.6 Max acquisition time The device can measure and save data for a long period of time. The total
time depends on the storing rate, number of frequency bands.
The internal memory can be read at every new data transfer to the central
unit, at set times or by remote control. Moreover, when the memory is full,
the new data are overwritten on the oldest to ensure availability of the data
for the most recent measurement period.
Settings can be made and the devices can be queried via SMS, serial
connection, Ethernet, GSM or line modem, FTP communication through
FTP server. The following table describes the different possibilities.

1-6 General Information
Fig. 1-2 EHA-2B-01 Antenna
The EHA-2B-01 triaxial antenna includes a triaxial magnetic field
sensor. Computation of electric field, expressed in V/m by the station,
is done assuming the measurement is taken in far field condition
where the known ratio between magnetic and electric field allows
good correlation accuracy.
Operator should check distance from field sources to evaluate
reliability.

2 – AMS-8061 Installation and first use
with NardaAMConfigurator
2.1 Introduction
This section provides the information necessary to install and use the AMS-
8061 Field Monitoring System.
It also includes information regarding initial inspection, power requirements,
interconnections, working environment, assembly, cleaning, storage and
shipment.
2.2 Initial inspection
Inspect the package for any possible damage.
If the packaging or protective material are damaged, check that the
content is complete and that the instrument has not been damaged in
any of its electrical or mechanical parts. Check the accessories,
referring to the checklist enclosed with the manual. Report any
noticed damage to the forwarder and to NARDA.
2.3 Working environment
The working conditions for the instrument are as follows:
•Temperature
•Relative humidity
From -10°C to +55°C
≤95%
The instrument should be stored in a clean, dry place free of acids, dust
and moisture.
The storage environment must have the following specifications:
•Temperature
•Relative humidity
From -20°C to + 70°C
< 99%
•Altitude Up to 4000 m (a.s.l.)
2.4 Return for repairs Any part of the instrument – with the sole exception of the air filters (see
Service at chapter 7) - can only be replaced by NARDA, therefore, in case
of damage to parts and/or malfunctions, contact the NARDA service center.
When the instrument has to be returned to NARDA for repairs, please
complete the form included in this User’s Manual, filling in all the
information necessary for the service requested.
To reduce the time necessary for the repair, be as specific as possible in
describing the malfunction. If the problem only occurs under specific
conditions, detail in the best possible way how to reproduce these
conditions.
Whenever possible, it is preferable to use the original packing for return,
making sure to wrap the device in heavy paper or plastic (see section 6 for
detailed packaging instructions). In alternative, pack the equipment in a
sturdy cardbox with plenty of impact absorbing material all around the
equipment, to ensure a tight fit and prevent it from moving inside the box.
Take special precautions to protect the solar cells and GSM modem
antenna. Seal the package securely and write FRAGILE on the outside to
encourage careful handling.
Nowadays there are restrictions on the shipment of hazardous
materials, eg. some types of lithium batteries.
Please, check the proper, safe, shipping mode, with the help of your
courier, in the case the product is equipped with batteries.

2-2 Installation and use
2.5 Cleaning
Use a clean, soft, dry cloth to clean the instrument and the solar cells.
To clean the instrument do not use solvents, acids, cleaning fluid,
turpentine, acetone or similar products which could damage it.
It is suggested to replace air filter at least once a year or more
frequently if needed (see Service at chapter 7)
2.6 Installation
The AMS-8061 Field Monitor is designed to operate outdoors, in the vicinity
of the electromagnetic fields sources that shall be controlled, and under the
most severe environmental conditions.
The AMS-8061 Field Monitoring System consist of a vertical housing with
circular shape made of material transparent to electromagnetic fields.
Within this radome is housed the measuring device, as well as the
measuring antenna and the remote communication device.
Batteries are located within the power pack on the support base.
AMS-8061 power system includes high quality lead batteries which
provide very good performance even in the voltage, current and
temperature most severe condition. Nevertheless, as happens in all
lead accumulators, capacity is influenced by temperature. Best
performance are achieved around 20°C.
