The parts of the original body voltage sensor multimeter plug in from less emf do not seem to be readily available and it may not be sold anymore as a separate body voltage sensor plug in. This method allows you to determine which circuits. On other meters this may be written 20 vac or 20 acv or on auto ranging meters just v or vac or acv press the red button to turn on the meter. Body voltage testing is the most accurate and useful method for measuring the elf electric fields emitted from power lines wiring lights appliances and other electrical sources. For millions of years before the invention of electricity the body voltage measurement would almost always have been 00 volts ac. The body voltage meter can be used to measure the voltage difference between ones body and the ground.
Body voltage can result from the influence of static electricity eg when shuffling ones feet on the ground or from ac electricity. Electrical wires hidden in the ceilings walls and floors. Less emf has a cost effective dedicated body voltage instrument. This is an inexpensive way you can indirectly test for 6050 hz ac electric fields using a 50 device found in most hardwaredepartment stores. Determining exposure levels will complement measurements of an ac electric field meter measures the amount of ac voltage attached to the human body from the following. This test kit will indicate the level of ac voltage on the body from the surroundings.
Set the meter range to 20 v to the lower right of the dial. Plug the ground cord outlet connector into the. Make sure you plug the lead firmly into the meter until you feel it click into place. Helpful video instruction by michael neuert an engineer with over 23 years experience testing electromagnetic fields. To go directly to any chapter click the time links below. Turn off the main electrical breaker switch for the whole building so that everything inside the home is.
The skin probe is the red wire assembly that is plugged into the upper plug in on the multimeter. Plug the ground cord with the attached outlet connector into the meters ground connection point com. Test the wall outlet that you are going to use as the grounding source with the supplied outlet. The body voltage meter indicates the level of ac voltage on the body from its surroundings. You will hold the bare copper strip at the end of this red wire in your hand to take a body voltage measurement. Ac electric fields from live electrical wires are attracted to the human body.
Determining exposure levels will complement measurements of an ac electric field meter measures the amount of ac voltage attached to the human body from the following. In nature for example outside under the trees at the beach or anywhere far away from electrical devices the body voltage measurement is usually 00 volts ac. The multimeter is the red handheld digital meter that will measure and display the ac voltage.
