Personal RF monitor - 100 kHz to 60 GHz: WaveMon RF-60 | Wavecontrol

The WaveMon RF-60 is a personal RF monitor designed for occupational and public RF safety from 100 kHz to 60 GHz. It continuously evaluates exposure levels and provides immediate warnings when configurable exposure thresholds are reached.

The instrument integrates isotropic electric and magnetic field sensors with RMS response, a built-in datalogger, audible and vibratory alarms, and optional GPS and altimeter for geolocated exposure studies. It is designed for use by workers operating near RF sources in telecommunications, industry, railway, medical, defence, aeronautical and laboratory environments.

The WaveMon RF-60 is available in several versions shaped to specific RF safety standards, including ICNIRP, FCC, EU Directive 2013/35/EU, Safety Code 6 and NATO standards.
