When it is switched on, the WaveMon will show
the strength of the present electric or magnetic
eld by means of signal lamps. The ambient
eld strength is shown as a percentage of the
regulated limit. The signal lamps show the
maximum levels of the instantaneous electric and
magnetic eld, but the record of both is stored in
memory.
Bear in mind as well that the average eld value,
based upon the instantaneous eld, is stored in
memory to allow analysis of your exposure in
respect of international standards.
Note: the magnetic eld is not available on some
models. See Section 12.
The user can learn the eld strength by observing
the number of blinking lights. Field strength
indication starts when it is over 10% of the
established limit. A colour code is also used so
that the user does not have to focus continually
on the device.
If the eld strength is lower than 50% of the limit,
the lights showing the present eld strength will
blink green. If the eld strength is higher than
50% but lower than 100% of the limit, the lights
showing the present eld strength will blink
orange. When the eld strength is over 100% of
the limit, the lights will blink red.
To ensure that the user is aware of the presence
of a strong eld, the device will also give audible
and vibratory warnings when the threshold
dened by the user is exceeded.
Note: the device will continue measuring and recording
the electromagnetic eld even after a fall is detected.
5. FALL WARNING
The WaveMon is equipped with a fall sensor and
if it detects such an event, the device will begin
beeping until it is switched off. This feature makes
it possible to warn others nearby instantly if
someone carrying a WaveMon falls.
