Overview
Workplace & environmental EMF monitors
The Narda SMARTS II area monitor is used for occupational applications typically monitoring a high power installation that has a known and predictable failure mode.
The SMARTS AMC is can be fitted with different probes to cover frequency ranges up to 60 GHz and is designed for both indoor and outdoor applications.
Alternatively Narda AMB series area monitors are typically used for environmental purposes; usually solar powered and operated remotely they continuously monitor field strength in public areas so data can be published on or directly linked to a national or local authority website.
More about Area Monitors
EMF area monitors & field prediction software
The SMARTS monitors are designed more for occupational applications, particularly the SMARTS II. The SMARTS AMC is more versatile and can be used for a variety of monitoring applications.
Area monitors are a valuable tool in dealing with public risk perception regarding EMF emissions. Whilst measurement surveys can demonstrate low field strengths in public areas it’s difficult to capture results 24/7. An environmental monitor does just that i.e. provides a continuous plot of field strength over time. Narda AMB monitors have been installed in hundreds of locations across Europe providing national and local authorities with detailed data to present to concerned members of the public.
It’s worth noting that another means of assessing fields in public areas is to use field prediction software. Narda EFC-400 software packages are able to calculate both low (ELF) and high frequency (e.g. telecoms) fields and provide a 3d field strength map. These packages are aimed at professional users who are able to obtain and input the necessary technical information.

Just like the rest of the range of Narda digital field probes the new BFD-400 is designed to meet the demands of different applications – as you’d expect it can be connected to a handheld meter or (coming soon) via Narda TSX software, it will be possible to directly connect just the probe to a PC, really useful in lab/test environments.

Sometimes it’s really useful to connect a field probe via fibre optic cable. It might be lab use where you want to make field strength measurements in an anechoic chamber, it might be on a test range where you need a lot of distance between the field probe and you, it might be you need something with great immunity so you can make high field strength measurements.
