by Lutron

Product Description

Rugged, Compact, & Lightweight Magnetic Field Meter

Couldn't be easier to use, just turn it on and get accurate reliable readings. Perfect for situations needing high resolution measurements of AC magnetic fields without spending a lot of money. Large LCD display reads 0.1 -199.9 mG over the ELF range of 30 - 400 Hz. Provides readout in both mG and microTesla. Calibrated to within 4% ±3 digits at 50/60 Hz. This single axis meter samples every 0.4 seconds when flipped on with slide switch. Requires one 9V battery. One year limited warrantee.

Like all single axis meters, this meter must be rotated during use to find the proper orientation to the magnetic field being measured to get proper readings.
Please note: this product is intended to measure electric fields, and does not detect nuclear radiation.

Ordered mine and received it within 3 days.
Works fairly well, and I haven't found any EMF spikes when left alone. (NO Ghosts)
The only thing that it lacks, is a led light, because the screen is not visible in low-light conditions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Meter...., April 19, 2009

Works Great, used it at work and found a big energy leak.

Also tested an old computer monitor (CRT type) that was giving my friend lots of headaches, it was putting out 5.49 milliGauss, about as much if you were to put your face right in front of a microwave oven.

Mmm toasty, now wonder her eyes were burning and her forehead was hot.
p.s. hope her boss buys her an LCD monitor, not so much radiation.

I am very happy with my purchase of the Lutron EMF meter. It is easy to use and accurate. I used it simultaneously with the K-2 meter and side by side they both worked well and together they confirmed the EMF readers throughout the areas that I examined.
