Note

It is important to move the probe vertically at a constant rate to obtain an accurate spatially averaged measurement.

Note

The averaging time resolution is approximately 1/4 second.

6.Press F1 (START) while slowly moving the probe vertically at a constant rate of movement.

7.Strive for an interval of about ten seconds between starting and stopping the timer. The meter will beep every second as a timing aid.

8.When the probe reaches the height equal to the top of an adult’s head ( about 6 ft./1.9 m), press F1 again (STOP).

9.The meter will show the average value on the second line of the display and the maximum value on the left side of the third line of the display. The bar graph will be indicating the instantaneous field magnitude in real time. The averaging interval will be shown on the right side of the third line, which can be useful in perfecting your spacial averaging technique.
