The Nardalert S3 is the only personal monitor that uses a thermocouple and low frequency displacement current sensor. This means it can cover low frequency applications like LF or MF broadcast as well as accurately monitoring pulsed systems such as radar - this is something that simple diode based monitors won't do in many circumstances.
Sensor technology was improved in the Nardalert S3 by re-designing not only the sensor itself, but also by packaging it in a field replaceable cartridge that contains all the electronic data necessary to maintain calibrated operation. This feature allows your Nardalert S3 to stay in service without costly logistics to keep multiple units calibrated – a major advantage for any EMF safety programme. With a new sensor cartridge your Nardalert S3 mainframe is capable of supporting new safety guidelines and standards providing future expandability and extending longevity.

Nardalert S3 Description
The professionals at Narda Safety Test Solutions have been designing and improving personal monitors for over 30 years. This unparalleled expertise produced the Nardalert S3 (short for Nardalert series three) replacing all previous versions of the Nardalert including the very successful Nardalert XT. With such a wide frequency range and unique interchangeable sensor cartridge your Nardalert S3 mainframe will always be capable of supporting new safety standards and wireless technologies around the world.
LCD Display
Alarm events are always evident with visual LED’s combined with vibra-tion and audible notifications. However, to provide the user more accurate information than just simple alarms we’ve incorporated a top mounted LCD. The LCD simplifies operation, showing key data at start-up such as battery state and sensor information that the operator needs. With RF/microwave sensors attached, the display indicates to the user the bands (<> 1 GHz) that are being detected. Optioned units use the display to pro-vide even more information such as exposure history, logged data, alarm indications and more.
Accuracy
Our engineers have designed the new Nardalert S3 to exceed the accurate performance of our earlier models. Our cus-tomers know they can trust our designs to provide the same or better performance when they are worn on the human body, as it would perform in a calibration facility. All testing is performed with the sensor in the housing in order to rep-licate normal day-to-day use and our new shaped-response sensors more closely follow international standards and guidance’s. Each sensor is individually calibrated and that in-formation is stored right in the sensor itself.
Sensors
Initial sensors available cover the most common international exposure limits. We offer sensors to follow the RF/micro-wave frequency limits promoted by the US FCC, IEEE (C95.1), Canada’s Safety Code 6 and ICNIRP. Many users around the world will find that one of these limits meets their local requirements for RF and microwave exposures. Future cover-age will include lower frequency ranges and flat frequency response sensor modules to perform alternate tasks using the same Nardalert S3 Mainframe.
Housing
We packaged everything in a rugged plastic housing that allows you to use it mounted in a common shirt pocket or secure it with the supplied lanyard or belt-clip mounts. We supply a strong silicon rubber skin that provides additional shock protection as a standard accessory. The Nardalert S3 operates from a single standard Type RCR123A battery. This battery is automatically recharged whenever it is plugged into a computer and we supply a universal charger to accel-erate charging from any common AC source or mains plug. Common automobile USB adapters can also be used, so your monitor is always ready to work.
Software
The Nardalert S3 software (NS3-TS) is supplied standard with every unit. Readings can be downloaded and dis-played numerically or graphically by simply installing the software and plugging in the supplied USB cable.
Users can download stored data into a database that is stored in the software for future recall. The six major soft-ware controls are:
- File – Allows file manipulation. Storing, sorting and exporting.
- Database – Database management of files stored on computer
- Device Memory – Data management of readings stored on Nardalert
- Measurement – Displays real-time measurements on computer
- Configuration – Configures Nardalert S3 for use. Set alarm thresholds, logging rate, backlight time, etc.
- Extras – sets unit up for regional preferences, installs options, general settings
Standard and Optioned Models
Nardalert monitors can be continuously powered through their USB interface while field levels are read through the fiber optic interface. Optional NEMA 4X enclosures and solar panels are also available for outdoor installations, as well as longer (> 50m) cable solutions. The NBM-580 provides powerful alarm interface capabilities when employing multiple sensors for a stand-alone monitoring system.
