This website and most others give values in volts per meter square

https://www.home-biology.com/electromagnetic-field-radiation-meters/safe-exposure-limits

The EMF-380 wants alarm values entered in volts CM squared. Do I do a division by 10,000 (100x100) of the value on the website to get the proper value? It just creates values that are so low anything and everything will set an alarm state.

I'm sorry but the EF alarm wants V/m which is also in the link that you posted.

The article gives values in uW/m2 and equivalents in V/m .

I can see measurements in uW/m2 in the RF value on the EMF-390. For example 170.

However, if I have 170 uW/m2, why do I not see at the same time 0.25 V/m in the EF value (with AllInOne display) (I see 0.0 V/m).

Why are there correlated values in the article but not in the EMF-390?

Does each measure on the AllInOne mode apply only to a specific frequency range? I cannot find that info anywhere.

Another question: In my country, the legal limit for cell phone towers is 3 V/m. How do I convert this to uW/m2?

Thanks!

Hi fancois, the EF (V/m) is not calculated from the RF(uW/m2). They are using 2 different sensors.

Ok but why does it need a different sensor? Can each sensor only pick up a specific frequency range? Which range is it for each sensor?

Also, why do you use different units for each sensor? Why is RF not displayed in V/m?

Can I manually convert uW/m2 to V/m ?

Thanks.

I need to know what software will let me print the history downloaded from the EMF-390.

@francois, They are detected in different ways. The frequency ranges are in the user guide EF is from o to no limit, RF is up to 10GHz. We use different sensors for efficiency. And we use those units because it's what most people prefer. You can convert it manually.


@flyfoots, You can use Excel to print it.
