Product catalog summary
Overview: The Narda Broadband Field Meter NBM-520 is a compact and lightweight device designed for measuring non-ionizing radiation across a wide frequency range (100 kHz to 60 GHz). It is part of the NBM-500 family and is optimized for ease of use with a simple 4-button operation.
Description: The NBM-520 is designed for precision measurements of electric and magnetic fields, particularly in environments where high field strengths are present. It lacks a memory for measurement results, simplifying its operation. The device supports various probes, including shaped probes for human safety standards and flat probes for flat frequency responses. Probes are calibrated independently and contain non-volatile memory for parameters and calibration data.
Applications: The NBM-520 is used in various settings to ensure human safety, including workplace environments, industrial settings (e.g., plastics welding, RF heating), broadcasting and radar equipment, cell phone transmitters, and medical devices. It is also used for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing.
Features: The device is designed for on-site use with a focus on simplicity. It features a weatherproof keypad, a backlit monochrome LCD, and multiple measurement modes (instantaneous, maximum, time average, spatial average). It supports automatic probe recognition and calibration data application, and includes warning functions for high field strengths.
Operating Features: The NBM-520 uses standard rechargeable batteries with a long operating life and an auto-off function. It can be configured via PC software, which also allows for remote-controlled measurements. The device can be connected to a PC via an optical interface to avoid interference.
Specifications: The NBM-520 features a transflective LCD display, supports various result units, and offers multiple result types. It includes an optical interface for probe detection and supports a wide range of probes for different frequency ranges and applications.
Probes and Accessories: A variety of probes are available for different field types and frequency ranges. Accessories include a hard case, power supply, shoulder strap, and PC software. The device is compatible with several operating systems, including Windows 2000, XP, and Vista.
Ordering Information: The document provides part numbers for the NBM-520 and its accessories, including various probes and additional equipment like tripods and protective pouches.

NSTS 0209-E0232D-0.0 2 / 7 Subject to change DESCRIPTION The Narda Broadband Field Meter NBM-520 is part of the NBM-500 family of test instruments. It measures non-ionizing radiation with utmost accuracy and incorporates all the major basic measurement modes. In contrast with the larger NBM-550, a memory for measurement results has been deliberately left out of the NBM-520. The result is unbeatably easy operation using just 4 buttons, so referring to the operating manual is all but unnecessary. Suitable measuring probes for electric and magnetic field strengths are available for the frequency...
