1. WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
Review this manual and become familiar with
all the instructions for using and handling your
WaveMon.
Your WaveMon is a portable apparatus
with a rechargeable battery. Before taking any
measurement, make sure that the battery is
sufciently charged for the time that you need for
the measurement. If it is not, recharge the battery
before.
Adjustment, maintenance or repair of the
equipment must be performed only by qualied
personnel. Please get in touch with Wavecontrol
or your sales contact.
The WaveMon is a professional
measurement device that must be calibrated to
ensure that it works properly. Check to make sure
that its calibration is valid at all times.
If you are unsure or need to recalibrate, please
contact your distributor or contact us at
service@wavecontrol.com (see section 13.2).

User’s Manual
Personal equipment WaveMon
Warnings are given based on instantaneous
eld values. However, measurements are taken
continuously and stored in memory to make
it possible to check whether exposure has
exceeded the permitted limits, to what extent,
when and where (geographical position and
altitude).
The information stored in memory can easily be
downloaded to a PC via USB for later processing.
The WaveMon is a personal electromagnetic
eld monitor. Its main function is to monitor the
user’s exposure. For that purpose, it should be
carried close to the body to provide a warning in
the event of overexposure. It may also be placed
in other locations to warn of high eld strength in
areas of special interest that we wish to monitor.
The warning is given by means of audible signals
(beeps), vibration and visible signals (LEDs).
The WaveMon can measure eld strength
continuously and store readings in its internal
memory. It has a capacity to store up to
1,000,000 readings.

4. FIRST STEPS
The WaveMon is an easy-to-use and very
complete electromagnetic eld monitor. To switch
it on, press the ON/OFF button on the front panel.
The device will switch on and go through the
start-up sequence to check that all the warning
systems are working properly and that the
batteries are suitable to run the device.

When it is switched on, the WaveMon will show
the strength of the present electric or magnetic
eld by means of signal lamps. The ambient
eld strength is shown as a percentage of the
regulated limit. The signal lamps show the
maximum levels of the instantaneous electric and
magnetic eld, but the record of both is stored in
memory.
Bear in mind as well that the average eld value,
based upon the instantaneous eld, is stored in
memory to allow analysis of your exposure in
respect of international standards.
Note: the magnetic eld is not available on some
models. See Section 12.
The user can learn the eld strength by observing
the number of blinking lights. Field strength
indication starts when it is over 10% of the
established limit. A colour code is also used so
that the user does not have to focus continually
on the device.
If the eld strength is lower than 50% of the limit,
the lights showing the present eld strength will
blink green. If the eld strength is higher than
50% but lower than 100% of the limit, the lights
showing the present eld strength will blink
orange. When the eld strength is over 100% of
the limit, the lights will blink red.
To ensure that the user is aware of the presence
of a strong eld, the device will also give audible
and vibratory warnings when the threshold
dened by the user is exceeded.
Note: the device will continue measuring and recording
the electromagnetic eld even after a fall is detected.
5. FALL WARNING
The WaveMon is equipped with a fall sensor and
if it detects such an event, the device will begin
beeping until it is switched off. This feature makes
it possible to warn others nearby instantly if
someone carrying a WaveMon falls.

arm.
6. PLACING THE DEVICE
The device is supplied with a mount to which
it may be attached using a quick release
mechanism. The device can be released from its
mount easily with one hand. This can be useful
for checking a potential source of radiation before
approaching it, minimising the risk of exposure.
This can be done simply by holding it in your
outstretched hand or using an extension attached
to the tripod socket if you wish to check from
farther away.
The device can be attached to your body in
several different ways.
