Fast, handy, cost-effective, beautiful exterior and PRECISION - what more could you ask ?

In the EMF (LF) spectrum shown here, a frequency range of approx. 20Hz to 60Hz from left to right is being analysed. During analysis, the Auto Marker feature has determined - fully automatic - two main signal sources:
Signal#1=30Hz at 45µT
Signal#2=50 (mains power) at 75µT

NOTE:
The very common low cost BROADBAND MEASUREMENT DEVICES (especially common among novice users) do not give you too valuable information at all. You do receive a measurement result (for example, 500nT), but what is the frequency ? Of how many radiation sources is this result composed? What causes the radiation ? Are there multiple sources ? Is the reading maybe even composed of several signal sources ? What is the corresponding exposure limit for this reading ? What IS the exposure limit if a mixture of several frequencies is present ? Questions and yet more questions WITHOUT an answer. In contrast, using a SPECTRUM ANALYSER, you will ALSO consider the frequency of the signal sources, as the frequency is JUST as important as the signal strength itself. ONLY using the frequency information, a radiation source can be isolated reliably, and ONLY using the frequency, calculation of frequency-dependant exposure limits can be accomplished.

NOTE:
Long-term recording with SPECTRAN® units is particularly INDISPENSIBLE with measurements of appliances and their cabling if their power output or radiation varies considerably with time. The attached screenshots show the EXTREME variations which can occur in the course of a day. This is a fact widely unknown by many users. In the worst case, measured at the "wrong" time of day, very low levels could be measured, even though the exposure, not to talk about peak exposure, might be higher by a factor of ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND (this is NOT an error) at a different time of day. Great caution needs to be taken, especially if measurement is performed as a commercial service: The very common practice of short-term measurements (being more cost-effective) often cannot evaluate the ACTUAL daily level of exposure.

NOTE:
The very common low cost BROADBAND MEASUREMENT DEVICES (especially common among novice users) do not give you too valuable information at all. Due to the MISSING frequency reference with low cost broadband units, DRAMATIC misinterpretations can arise: when exposure limits are calculated, these can be wrong by MORE than a factor of 1000!! (this is NOT an error, we do really mean ONE THOUSAND).

SPECTRAN® displays exposure limits both as percentage as well as a bargraph display. Our example shows approximation to the ICNIRP exposure limits by 6,06%. (Screenshot)

NOTE:
Units commonly found on the market which are particularly in use by novices for "EMF measurement" can, for the most part, ONLY measure magnetic fields in ONE dimension. Hence, by misaligning the measurement device in space, SERIOUS mismeasurement can occur: in extreme cases, no magnetic field might be shown at all even though an extremely high exposure is present. Tedious and complex 3D measurements are often not performed at all, or wrongly (especially by the novice). In contrast, SPECTRAN® can performs magnetic field measurements in 3D and thus offers PROFESSIONAL measurement right from the start!

• Big graphics display (pixel display) with 51x25 pixels (can be used for complex spectrum and exposure limit display, convenient menu navigation, etc.)
  
• HUGE numeric display (4 digits, max. 9999)
  
• Large, high-resolution bargraph (50 segments) for very responsive trend display
  
• Various function and mode indication display blocks (AUDIO, MODE, MEMORY etc.)
  
• Large multi-function text display (6 text fields / e.g. for displaying units, service information, etc.)
  
• Three further big numeric displays (4 digits each, each max. 9999 / e.g. for simultaneous display of MIN, MAX, AVG values, 3 marker values, etc.)
  
• Triple multi-function text displays (Next to each of the previously described numeric displays / 3x3 text fields each / used e.g. for unit display for markers, etc.)
  
• Three more multi-function text displays (directly beneith the previously described displays / 3x6 text fields each / e.g. ADDITIONAL values AND unit display for markers, etc.)
  
• Battery status and charging display (incl. "CHARGING" and "LOW")
  
• 6 numerical displays for flexible bargraph scaling (incl. multiplication factor and percentage display)
  

Using SPECTRAN®, the user is supplied with virtually ALL information AT ONCE, without the hassle of switching back and forth. Where else can you find such luxury at a similar price ?

• LF spectrum analyser SPECTRAN NF-50xx
• Sturdy aluminum-design carrycase (with custom padding!)
• 1300mAh Aaronia battery with charger
• Exhaustive manual with lots of basic information, hints, background information and exposure limit tables

RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES:

• Rechargable Aaronia 3000mAh LiPo power battery
• Detachable handle with super-practical miniature tripod mode: this handle is attachable to the backside of the unit and allows optimal handling (esp. for directional measurement) and even fixed installation of the unit

• Option 001: 1MB memory expansion.
  Available for: NF-5010, NF-5030.
  This memory expansion is a MUST-HAVE particularly when using the data logger, as the standard capacity can quickly become exhausted in this mode. The memory expansion provides space for more than 10,000 logs, while the standard memory will only accomodate approximately 100 of them. Standard memory size is 64K.
• Option 005: 12Bit Dual DDC frequency filter.
  Available for: NF-5030 (inclusive on NF-XFR).
  This cutting edge 12Bit DDC frequency filter allows extremely fast, crisp and accurate frequency filtering, while at the same time drastically enhancing the sensitivity. As an example, magnetic fields can (depending on their frequency) still be measured down to 1pT (0.001nT), compared to 0.1nT without the option. Option 005 is therefore a MUST-HAVE for professional measurement, especially considering its attractive price.
• Option 006: 3D sensor for static magnetic fields.
  Available for: NF-5030.
  This top-grade geomagnetic field sensor provides the ability to conduct geophysical assessments and measurement of geomagnetic field anomalies. However, it can also be used to turn the instrument into a Gaussmeter, measuring the difference between field strengths (static fields) of permanent magnets. Thanks to its ISOTROPIC (3D) construction, measurements can be performed in all three spacial dimensions AT ONCE (or seperately). Sensitivity is about 10nT-600µT.
• Option 008: 20MHz frequency extension.
  Available for: NF-5030 (inclusive on NF-XFR).
  This 20MHz frequency extension option vastly enhances the frequency range of the NF-5030. Amongst others, it brings the ADSL and 13.56MHz RFID frequency bands in range. What's more, we are already developing a PC-based analysis software for decoding RFID. The maximum frequency range of the NF-5030 WITHOUT option 008 is 1MHz.
• Option 009: 24Bit resolution for 3D static magnetic field sensor.
  Available for: NF-5030.
  Option 006 provides a significantly higher resolution for the optional 3D magnetic field sensor for measurement of static magnetic fields (option 006); it is ABSOLUTELY mandatory for geomagnetic surveys. The standard resolution of the NF-5030 WITHOUT option 009 is 14Bit.
• Option 010: 30MHz frequency extension.
  Available for: NF-5030, NF-XFR. Our 30MHz frequency extension extends the frequency range of the NF-5030 or NF-XFR to the absolute maximum. Amongst others, it even allows measurement of VDSL2. The higher clock frequency of the DDC provided by this option is a MUST HAVE for technicians and authorities needing ACCURATE assessment of signal sources of up to 30MHz. The maximum frequency of the NF-5030 WITHOUT option 010 is 1MHz.
