HELIOGNOSIS - emm - electromagnetic monitor

Introducing emm

Heliognosis has developed the first inexpensive omni-directional broadband monitor for measuring all sources of electromagnetic radiation up to microwaves. This compact device enables users concerned about potential health risks to locate areas of exposure. Although several electromagnetic monitors are currently available, low cost products only detect a very limited range of frequencies. Conversely, true broadband monitors are prohibitively expensive for most consumers.

emm bridges the gap between cheap limited response monitors and full spectrum units. No bigger than a mobile phone, emm detects all electromagnetic emitters from ELF (extremely low frequencies) up to microwaves. This includes virtually all sources of electromagnetic radiation like:

cell and mobile phones

radio and television broadcast towers

AC power lines

microwave ovens

amateur and CB radio

military, aircraft and police band radio

high-efficiency fluorescent tubes

Use the Heliognosis emm to identify hotspots in your local environment. It is ideal for determining safer distances from electromagnetic sources and locating hidden transmitters.

Using emm

Our small, sensitive circuit detects the electric field component of the electromagnetic wave and converts it into a visually diplayed signal. Operation is simple - extend the antenna and power on the unit. After pressing the button once emm stays on for about 8 minutes then automatically shuts down to preserve battery life. To begin a new cycle, just press the button again.

Undertanding the emm display

When the monitor is in a place with low electromagnetic radiation, the blue LED will be lit. This indicates a radiation level at or below 0.01琺/cm². As the field becomes stronger, the LED for each successive range will glow. Red is the highest at 1mW/cm². When emm is close to its maximum range of 100mW/cm² the red LED will begin to flash. It is not recommended to take emm into electromagnetic fields in excess of 100mW/cm². The LED display and the associated field strengths are shown in the following table.
