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 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 AMB-8059 family products are revolutionary, accurate and reliable
solutions for remote and continuous monitoring of electromagnetic fields.
AMB-8059/01 and AMB-8059/03 are powered by high capacity internal
batteries and solar panels that ensure practically unlimited autonomy under
conditions of normal sunlight.
For indoor applications, the autonomy of the unit is at least 80 days after full
battery charge.
AMB-8059/00 and AMB-8059/02 don’t have any solar cells, as they are
powered by replaceable high capacity primary battery for several months
autonomy.
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.
All AMB-8059 models are equipped with internal WiFi and GPS modules.
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,
AMB-8059/02 and AMB-8059/03, which are equipped with 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.

1-8 General Information
TABLE 1-5 Max acquisition time
All models can measure and store data for an extremely long period of time: one of the 128 Mb Flash
memories is used exclusively for recording measurements and can contain up to 524.288 records of 32
bytes each. The following formula and table indicate the internal memory capacity depending on the Rate
Setting.
Nrecords * [Rate (min)] / [minutes/day] = Memory capacity (days)
For example, with a Storing Rate of 6 min, considering that a day consists of 1440 minutes, the memory
capacity formula is: 524288 * 6 / 1.440 = 2184.5 days
Storing Rate Memory capacity
30 sec >182 days
1 min >364 days
6 min > 2184 days (~6 years)
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 so as to ensure
availability of the data for the most recent measurement period.
All models also use an additional memory bank of 128Mb which serves various functions. 32kB of this
memory serve for the registration of events, each of them occupies a space of 128 bytes.
In the memory there is therefore space to record at least the latest 224 events.
TABLE 1-6 Settings/Queries
All of the AMB-8059 models are equipped with a WiFi modem module which can be used to download
data from the station via a direct IP (over the internet) connection or via an AP (Access Point) direct
connection or also via a FTP (overt the internet) scheduled connection.
AMB-8059/02 and AMB-8059/03 can also be set and queried remotely via mobile phone or a central unit
consisting of a PC, with 8059SW-02 software installed, connected via GSM or Line Modem (station set for
Point-to-point communication) or, through the Internet, by FTP (station set for FTP communication). All
models can be set and queried locally by means of the RS232, USB, Ethernet (/01 and /03 models)
connection to the controller PC. The following table describes the different possibilities:
