SERIAL NUMBER OF THE INSTRUMENT
You can find the Serial Number on the bottom cover 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
The following documents are included in this Manual:
•A questionnaire to be sent to NARDA together with the apparatus

•A checklist of the Accessories included in the shipment.
This Manual includes description of EHP-50G standard and optional
accessories.
1.2 Introduction
This section provides a general overview of EHP-50G Electric and
Magnetic Field Analyzer.
EHP-50G is a low frequency electric and magnetic isotropic field probe-
analyzer. It provides an advanced technology solution for field analysis in
the 1 Hz to 400 kHz frequency range in an extremely high dinamic range. It
includes X, Y and Z axes simultaneous measurements with a powerful,
built in, spectrum analyzer.
EHP-50G can be used either connected to 8053B portable field meter or
PC. Additionally, stand alone operation mode is provided for up to 24 hours
continuous data collection.
EHP-50G includes a non volatile memory which stores frequency and level
calibration tables and an internal optical repeater which allows connection
to external devices through the optical fibre.
Spectral analysis, obtained through DSP (Digital Signal Processor), is
performed on seven different frequency Span values and displayed on the
PC monitor or 8053B.
Marker function is available to provide accurate field strength and
frequency measurement.
EHP-50G is managed internally with a microprocessor that controls all the
main functions, from the battery charging to the serial communication with
the DSP unit.
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.

1-2 General Information
EHP-50G is housed in a small cubic housing. The bottom side panel
includes an optic fiber connector, extension rod screw, battery charger
connector, ON/OFF button and Status LED.
Fig. 1-1 Block diagram of the EHP-50G Analyzer
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.
