FieldSENSE Designed for HVAC Technicians’ RF safety

As an HVAC or rooftop technician, safety should be top of mind in your day-to-day operations. Depending on the job site, one of the safety hazards you need to consider is exposure to EMF radiation from cell phone antennas, amongst others.

The fieldSENSE personal RF monitor is a game changer for HVAC and rooftop technicians.
It provides accurate readings for the environment you are in, taking into account all sources of radiation that you may be exposed to, allowing you to take the necessary steps to ensure you are not overexposed.

The fieldSENSE personal RF monitor can help you stay safe if you’re concerned about EMF exposure. This device continuously measures the level of EMF radiation around you and alerts you if it exceeds safe levels. Simply wear it on your belt; it will sound an alarm if the EMF levels get too high.

fieldSENSE60

Recommended retail price: USD 799

The fieldSENSE60, with extended frequency range, is specifically designed for people whose work takes them near transmitting antennas. This means you can work with confidence in the near-field of a broadcast system or in the far-field of a 5G mmWave system. Exposure is accurately assessed, and a warning is sounded, should the levels approach and exceed the occupational limits.

  • Frequency: 50 MHz to 60 GHz
  • Usage: From FM radio, terrestrial television up to mmWave 5G and beyond
  • Shaped Frequency response (E- & H-fields)
  • Two-year calibration interval

Isotropic
FieldSENSE personal RF monitors each have a total of six orthogonal E- and H-field probes to ensure that the combination of all sources of radiation from all angles are correctly measured and assessed in accordance with safety limits.
E- & H-fields Measured
RF Safety guidelines use the radiated power density, S in milliWatt/cm2 or Watt/m2, to assess exposure to electromagnetic fields in a given situation. This is derived from the measured E- (electric) and H- (magnetic) fields. To accurately assess a given exposure situation, both of these should be measured, especially when working very low in frequency around FM transmitters for instance. Only measuring E-field in these instances can lead to inadvertent RF overexposure.
Data Logging
The monitors have an advanced E- and H-field data logger, which records all user measurements so that they can be easily accessed over a USB connection to a PC in the office. Additionally, the data can be viewed in real-time over the USB connection with the PC application.
Voice Notes
The inbuilt logging feature allows for quick voice note taking, which can be accessed later in the office. The data is paired with the logged E- and H-fields so specific exposure conditions can easily be tagged.
Shaped Response
The exposure limits, such as the FCC (NCRP), SC6 or ICNIRP limits, are all shaped over frequency. As such, PPE must also have a shaped probe response to accurately measure in accordance with it. RF monitors without a shaped response are inaccurate and can result in an individual being overexposed.
Fall-detection & Alarm
The devices have an inbuilt fall detection system which sounds an alarm should the user accidentally fall. The alarm is easily silenced should the user still be conscious but, should they have been knocked unconscious the sounding alarm will attract the attention of colleagues. This way they are able to immediately initiate rescue actions thus reducing the potential effects of suspension trauma following a fall at height.

User Interface
FieldSENSE devices use high brightness amber LED indicators for direct sunlight visibility and have a loud buzzer to ensure the user won’t miss a thing. Additionally, it is specifically designed to be operated whilst wearing gloves.
Attachments
Devices come with an easily adjustable wrist strap to ensure comfortable attachment while working. Additionally, the fieldSENSE60 harness attachment mechanism has been completely redesigned to include a coiled lanyard system. This facilitates the smooth handling of the device during operations while still remaining visible and audible. Should the device be dropped there is no risk of it falling off the site. A tripod attachment point on the base of the device allows for setting up remote monitoring of a site, or for attaching an extension pole.
AAA batteries
The devices use readily available AAA (LR03) batteries.
“Grippy” design
The device has a custom bevelled design that fits tightly into the user’s hand with a textured soft elastomer surface and grip ridges ensuring no fumble moments.
Rugged IP64 & IK08 Enclosure
The devices have a co-moulded enclosure with a base layer of polycarbonate which is typically used in riot shields, and an outer elastomer layer made of TPU which is designed for hard wearing environments. The design provides for IP64 dust & moisture ingress rating as well as IK08 impact protection.
Zipper Case
Shipped in a heavy-duty zipper case with a custom moulded insert makes for even further protection of the device.
