Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed information about the Narda 8500 Series Industrial Compliance Meters, specifically models 8511 and 8513, designed for measuring electric and magnetic fields in industrial settings. These meters are essential for ensuring compliance with safety standards related to RF radiation exposure.
Specifications:
  • Model 8513: Frequency range from 10 to 42 MHz, calibrated at ISM frequencies 13.56 MHz, 27.12 MHz, and 40.68 MHz. Measurement range is 0.05 to 50.0 mW/cm².
  • Model 8511: Frequency range from 300 kHz to 100 MHz, calibrated at 500 kHz, 13.56 MHz, 27.12 MHz, and 90 MHz. Measurement range is 0.1 to 100 mW/cm² for E field and 0.2 to 200 mW/cm² for H field.
  • Both models feature a digital display, bar graph, and audible alarm for probe overload.
Applications: These meters are used in various industrial applications such as RF heat sealers, semiconductor processing equipment, RF induction heating, and plasma generation systems. They are crucial for measuring both electric and magnetic fields to comply with safety standards for equipment operating below 300 MHz.
Operation: The meters are designed for ease of use, with features like automatic range display, no need for probe changes, and simple zeroing. The E/H Field key allows switching between electric and magnetic field measurements.
Technical Description: The meters use a dual sensor probe to independently measure electric and magnetic fields. They feature RMS detection for accurate readings and are shielded against strong electromagnetic fields. The design includes orthogonal loops and dipoles for precise field detection.
Maintenance: The meters are easy to maintain and calibrate, with a built-in calibration program. They operate for approximately 50 hours on a standard 9V battery.
Compliance and Safety: The meters help ensure compliance with OSHA and IEEE C95.1-1991 standards for non-ionizing radiation safety. Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) limits are specified for different frequencies.

8500 Series Industrial Compliance Meters-1

Electric and Magnetic Field Measurement 8500 SERIES INDUSTRIAL COMPLIANCE METERS · Complete Measurement System: Meter and Dual Electric and Magnetic Field Probe · Covers Most Industrial Equipment · Extremely Easy to Use · Low Cost, Compact, and Lightweight · High Overload Tolerance · RMS Detection APPLICATIONS · RF or High Frequency Heat Sealers, Vinyl Welders · Semiconductor Process Equipment: Etchers, Sputterers, Ashers, and Glass Deposition · RF Induction Heating · Dielectric Dryers and Heaters · Plasma Generation Systems DESCRIPTION The Narda Models 8511 and 8513 combine an unprecedented ease of operation with powerful measurement capabilities. It provides the industrial plant manager and safety professional with an accurate and inexpensive solution for proving compliance with regulations that cover exposure to RF radiation. Both models provide a complete measurement system comprised of an extremely easy to operate meter and a probe that contains sensors to measure both the electric (E) and magnetic (H) field components of an electromagnetic wave. OPERATION The 8511 and the 8513 were designed to make measurements a simple process that does not allow the most common mistakes to happen. NO CHANGING PROBES TO MEASURE THE ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDS - the probe contains two sets of sensors that separately measure each field. Simply press the E/H Field key to change the field that you are measuring. NO RANGE CHANGES - the meter automatically displays a numeric value over the probe’s entire measurement range. NO CONFUSING SCALES - simply read the digital display, including the unit of measure. NO DIFFICULT ZEROING - just touch the Auto Zero key. NO FORGETTING THAT YOU ARE IN THE MAXIMUM HOLD MODE - the meter clearly displays the word “Max” when you are in the maximum hold mode. The digital display shows the maximum value while the bar graph continues to indicate the instantaneous value. communications company Safety Test Solutions an NSTS 0501-115 USA 435 Moreland Road, Hauppauge, NY 11788 • TEL: (1) 631 231-1700 • FAX: (1) 631 231-1711 • E-MAIL: [email protected] • www.narda-sts.com GERMANY Sandwiesenstrasse 7 D-72793 Pfullingen • TEL: +49-7121-9732-0 • FAX: +49-7121-9732-90 • E-MAIL: [email protected] • www.narda-sts.de

8500 Series Industrial Compliance Meters-3

Electric and Magnetic Field Measurement APPLICATION Major safety standards worldwide require that both the electric and the magnetic field components (E and H fields) be measured for equipment operating below 300 MHz. Most high power industrial equipment operates at one of the frequencies allocated for Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) applications. Two ISM frequencies - 27.12 MHz and 13.56 MHz - are used extensively. The majority of heat sealers and induction heaters operate at 27.12 MHz while most semiconductor processing equipment operates at 13.56 MHz. The 8513 operates from 10 MHz...
