SERIAL NUMBER OF THE INSTRUMENT
You can find the serial number on the side of the metal bracket located under the
baseplate, on the side of the Power pack and on the side of the Solar panels.
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.

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-8063 family products are revolutionary, accurate and reliable
solutions for remote and continuous monitoring of electromagnetic fields.
The AMS-8063 Area Monitor consist of a protective case made of material
that is transparent to electromagnetic fields and designed to house the
EHP-8063 E-H fields analyzer and the data transmission devices.
EHP-8063 has been designed for 3 axis accurate measurements of both
electric and magnetic fields, in the frequency range 9 kHz to 30 MHz.
The Wi-Fi Serial Converter (AMS-8063-00) allow the connection of the
system to a WLAN network with TCP/IP protocol.
The AMS-8063-01 can only be connected to the PC by RS232 cable.
The PC handles the AMS-8063-02 through the AMS-8063-02 Interface box
that allows a long optical connection
The AMS-8063-00 e AMS-8063-01 models are powered by high capacity
back-up batteries and solar panels (twin pair).
AMS-8063-02 does not have any solar cells, as it is powered by high
capacity rechargeable batteries.
An external power supply is provided for continuous, indoor operation for all
models.
The system of acquisition makes it possible 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.

General Information 1-9
1.7 EHP-8063 EHP-8063 is housed in a small cubic housing; the bottom side panel
includes an optic fiber connector, ON/OFF level switch and operation LED.
EHP-8063 is managed internally with a microprocessor that controls all the
main functions.
Electric or Magnetic field is picked up by three sensors on the X, Y and Z
orthogonal axes. A Digital/Analog conversion follows which transforms the
signal into numeric information processed by a Digital Signal Processing
unit.
The magnetic sensor system is composed by three magnetic loops
positioned orthogonal each other. The electric sensor system is composed
by three orthogonal parallel capacitors installed on opposite side of the
magnetic loops.
EHP-8063 has an internal rechargeable Ni-Mh battery that can be
recharged with the battery pack.

DATA: Led
POWER ON: switches EHP-8063 on/off
OPTIC LINK: Fiber optic connector
CHARGER: Not available
AUX: Not available
Correct readings may be conditioned by the nature of the places in
which the field monitoring system is installed.
The field sensor is affected by huge metallic masses or other objects
that may reflect the signal, if located in the vicinity of the unit.
Whenever possible, it is a good rule to install the unit at some
distance from walls, high voltage pylons, buildings and other
obstacles that could affect the signals reaching the sensor.
EHP-8063 is automatically detected by the control system integrated
in the AMS-8063, so it is not necessary to perform any operation.
Do not expose the EHP-8063 to a field higher than the max. allowed.
Field strengths exceeding the allowed may cause severe probe
damage whether it is connected or not, either turner ON or OFF.
When opening the protective case of the monitoring station, to avoid
damages, remove along its axis the protective case from probe.
The minimum voltage level for operation is 3V. Under this battery
voltage the analyzer will turn OFF automatically and the battery will be
charged.

1.8 Support pole
The supplied support pole is used to position the EHP-8063 field analyzer
far from the data transmission/power supply devices and the operator
avoiding any alteration of the field to be monitored.
The support pole is fixed to the baseplate and to the EHP-8063 plexiglass
bracket.
The support pole has been specifically designed to prevent
influencing the field measurements.
