2. INTRODUCTION
You have acquired a MonitEM-Lab electromagnetic radiation monitoring device.
MonitEM-Lab can measure the emissions of different sources of
electromagnetic radiation, such as mobile telephone base stations, in real
time. The device stores the measurement data and sends it via ethernet to the
Control Centre responsible for collecting and managing data from the different
devices making up the monitoring system.
The device can also be used without a Control Centre, using the MonitEM-Lab
Reader PC software to control and download data.
The device can also generate visual and audible alarms when it detects
eld values in excess of the limit established by the user and transmit them
immediately to the Control Centre.
This Manual explains how to install and use the MonitEM-Lab device.

3.2 MonitEM-Lab details
Below the unit, you can nd:
• IEC connector for the main power cord.
• Ethernet connector.
• Output alarm connector (internal relay up to 240 Vac or 30 Vdc, 5A current,
normally closed).
• Sound button (pressed = sound on, unpressed = sound off).
• ON / OFF button (explained in more detailed in 4.3).
• Micro USB to connect to the PC.
• Reset switch.
• 1/4'' nut for tripod.
• 3 LEDs.
The 3 LEDs show the status of the device.
• The Ethernet LED is off when connection is established with the server.
• The status LED:
• Blinks twice per second when in measurement mode.
• Is lit continuously when connected to a computer.
• Blinks intermittently when in communication mode.
• Blinks rapidly for 5 seconds after initial calls (if communication is
successful).
• The LED of the SD indicates that it is writing. Do not switch off the device if
this LED is lit, since this could damage the SD.
3.3 Changing the probe
It is important to bear in mind that the memory of the unit is divided depending
on the probe type (WPF3, WPF6, etc...). Therefore, it is very important to
download all the data stored in the device before changing probes, in order to
avoid losing any information.
The measurement device must be switched off before the probe is changed.
Disconnect the power supply (mains cord) or use the switch off button. Once

the device is switched off, remove the 3 screws around the unit, pull on the
radome (be careful to do it vertically to protect the probe inside) and then pull
on the probe connector (not the tube) to remove it. Then attach a different
probe and close the radome.
4. POWER SUPPLY (SMART POWER)
MonitEM-Lab is equipped with an intelligent controller that allows it to supply
the main board and detect its working mode to make a reset in case of an
emergency.
Important: Always disconnect the device from the mains before
manipulating it, since some internal parts may be hazardous.
4.1 AC power supply
The device is powered directly from an external power connection. A regulator
transforms 110- 240V AC (50-60Hz) into 12V DC.
4.2 USB mode
This power supply mode can only be used to change the parameters of the
device. The USB powers the microprocessor and the SD card so that it can
read and change the device’s data. It is not a normal operating mode. It can be
very useful as an initial connection, since in this mode the device will not make
connection to the server and will allow adjustment of all the desired values
before starting up in normal mode.
Note: if the USB is connected before or just after the MonitEM-Lab is connected to
a power supply, the system will start in USB mode, since the power supply controller
takes 2–3 seconds to power up the device. To get back in normal mode you can press
the restart button of the software or completely switch off the unit.

4.3 Switch ON / OFF
• The ON / OFF switch is a software switch.
• If the probe is connected and you switch on the unit, MonitEM-Lab will start
to measure and send data as it was programmed before switching it off.
• When you switch off the unit, the system will do any pending tasks before
entering in the off mode. It can take some seconds to switch off if MonitEM-
Lab must terminate a communication with the server or must save some
data in the SD card.
• When connected with the USB, MonitEM-Lab will not shut down even with
the switch in OFF until you remove the USB connection with the computer.
5. START-UP
5.1 Installing the software
Insert the USB drive containing the software for the device, open the MonitEM
Setup le and follow the instructions on the screens (it will install the software
and drivers of the MonitEM-Lab):
