ZERO

Transmits a zero command to the probe. This zeroes all ranges and axes, which

includes both sets of sensors, electric, and magnetic fields. It establishes a

baseline for measurements by sampling all axes and ranges and subtracting

those values from each subsequent measurement.

Note: The meter must be zeroed prior to making measurements.

TEMP

Displays the current temperature of the probe in degrees Celsius. Press and

release TEMP and the temperature will display for two seconds, and then the

readout will change back to measurement mode.

Measurement Techniques

Caution: When taking measurements of electromagnetic

fields, there is a potential of exposure to high or

excessive levels of electromagnetic energy. Approach the

energy source slowly and carefully. If extremely high

amounts are present, immediately leave the area.

EASUREMENTS

Hold the readout in one hand and the probe in the other. If you know where the

energy source is, approach it slowly, and then point the probe towards it. If you

are not sure where the source is, hold the probe above your head, pointed up at

about 45 degrees. To find where the maximum reading is coming from, rotate the

probe in a circle.
