INTRODUCTION
Narda EMF Monitors are equipped with exclusive, state-of-the-art sensors having high sensitivity, accuracy
and reliability. Their robust, uncluttered construction is perfect for long-term outdoor installation. The
AMB-8059 handles applications from a few Hertz through to long wave and on up to high frequency
microwave radiation using a selection of interchangeable probes for electric and magnetic fields.

MINIMUM OUTLAY, MAXIMUM RESULT

An EMF monitoring system is made up from a series of EMF monitors installed
wherever the EMF presence needs to be assessed continuously or by long
term observation. The EMF monitors store the data and report them using
conventional mobile data communication at set time intervals to a central unit,
e.g. PC or data server. The system size can range from a single location up to
countrywide coverage. Narda EMF monitors combine all the features that are
essential for this purpose: autonomy, outdoor usability, mobility, robustness,
and low operating costs.
You can be certain to find the ideal solution for every area of application
with Narda. And you can depend on its reliability, thanks to our decades of
experience coupled with cutting edge technology, backed up by our own
certified calibration laboratory.

THE AMB SERIES

Its broadband application is the optimum solution for technical
superiority from a tight budget. Four models are available:

COMPLETE PROGRAM FOR ALL REQUIREMENTS

Narda offers a wide range of different isotropic probes. These include

quad-band probes for separating mobile telephone services as well as
wideband measurement from 100 kHz to 40 GHz. Special probes are
available for low frequency magnetic or electric fields from 10 Hz to 5
kHz. This means that emissions from high-voltage cables and transformer
stations can be recorded. Further, it is possible to combine up to two
probes, e.g. an electric and a magnetic field probe in the so-called “dual
probe configuration”.
