Description
Narda’s latest design in the popular SMARTS™ family of RF area monitors introduces
several new features. Like earlier SMARTS models, the SMARTS II area monitors provide
continuous detection of RF radiation within a specific area. The SMARTS II uses
the latest, ultra- wideband sensor technology of the Nardalert™ RF personal monitors.
The result is an area monitor that covers most of the usable RF spectrum in a single
monitor with “shaped” frequency-dependent sensitivity that matches the standard
used to determine compliance. The dual sensor design accurately detects all types of
electric fields from 2 MHz to 100 GHz. The microwave portion of the sensor employs
thermocouple
detectors so that radar signals are accurately converted to true RMS
values while the patented diode design used for the lower frequencies provides RMS
detection even in very complex, multi-signal environments. SMARTS II monitors respond
equally to all polarizations and cover an entire hemisphere. They can even be
mounted on a metallic wall. There is a SMARTS II model shaped to match each of the
major standards.
The SMARTS II operates from a common nine-volt battery or a 12-volt or 24-volt DC
supply. Every monitor has an audio alarm. An alarm condition causes both a voltage
transition to occur and a SPDT relay to operate. Either the TTL signal or the relay
contacts can be used to provide remote alarms, a record of alarm conditions, and/or
automatic shutoff of equipment.
The SMARTS II area monitors can be used outdoors by installing the monitor in a
NEMA weatherproof enclosure.
