 The effect of Electromagnetic Radiation on the general public is becoming a
concern as the number of sources increases. Recent legislation limiting the
maximum levels of electromagnetic radiation permitted from these
installations has been introduced to protect the public, but compliance testing
is often performed infrequently and then over a short period of time.

MonitEM SYSTEM. CONTINUOUS MEASUREMENTS (24/365)

MonitEM is a state-of-the-art measuring system manufactured and developed by Wavecontrol
an engineering company working in the field of electromagnetic compatibility and RF &
Microwave testing.

The MonitEM system comprises a number of monitoring stations located near

electromagnetic radiation emitters (antennas, power lines, etc.) or in places of special interest
(schools, hospitals …) and remotely controlled from a computerized Control Center.

The monitoring stations continuously sample the electromagnetic field (24h/365d), store
the readings and transmit them regularly to the Control Center.

The electromagnetic field is measured by means of triaxial isotropic probes that allow a
composite reading of the field in full as it arrives from all spatial directions.

The computerized control system is designed for direct integration via the Internet, allowing
authorized users to track the monitoring stations from anywhere with an Internet connection. In
addition, the collected data can be published to make it available for consultation by any
interested person.

APPLICATIONS
MonitEM is an ideal system for those
responsible for base station reliability and
performance. Continuous verification that
the electromagnetic radiation produced by
the base stations, telecommunication
facilities and power lines is below
recommended international limits maintains
public confidence.

The system is also ideal for those

responsible for ensuring either employees
or members of the public are not subjected
to unsafe levels of electromagnetic
radiation. Locations such as public
buildings, hospitals and schools can
benefit from knowing the output from
sources close to their facilities.

REMOTE MONITORING STATIONS

Each monitoring station is made up of an
electromagnetic field detection and measurement block,
a block for processing, averaging and memorization of
data and a communication system used to transfer data
to a Control Center.

Characteristics of the MonitEM stations:

• Isotropic and RMS probes. Simultaneous

measurement of the three axes.

• Interchangeable probe system

• Sliding window. Average of any 6-minute period.

• Sampling rate of 2 samples/second

• When the equipment establishes a GSM/GPRS/3G

communication, the field generated by its own
modem is rejected.

CONTROL CENTER
The data capture results are transmitted to
the Control Center, which is configured for
remote management of Measurement
Stations. From the Control Center the station
identification parameters, alarm systems,
data storage, data transmission, report
generation, etc., can all be programmed, and
it can be used to provide access via the
Internet to the information generated.

At the Control Center, the measurements

made at the Monitoring Stations are stored
in the database, processed and
displayed.

DISPLAY USING Gmap SYSTEM

For the general public, the system offers the possibility of consulting the information on the
measurements by means of a simple display using a system of Google-type maps:

• Presentation of data via the Internet for

consultation by the public

• Selection of site on a Google-type map

• Display of images of the measurement site

• Information about the measuring site:

description, GPS position, ...

• Graphic display of measurements compared

with regulated levels

• Selection of the time interval of the

consultation

ALARM SYSTEM
MonitEM can be programmed to provide an alarm signal if the recorded level of
electromagnetic radiation exceed set levels. The Control Center can then alert the user when
this event occurs.

The Control Center receives this alarm warning and shows in real time which remote
monitoring station is measuring field levels above the programmed threshold.

CALIBRATION
MonitEM stations are individually calibrated before delivery, a necessary prerequisite for
reliable and professional measurement. An uncalibrated device can give such a large error as
to make the measurement wholly unreliable.

LabCal Wavecontrol is Wavecontrol’s own calibration laboratory and it is responsible for

official calibration of measurement equipment, through accreditation by ENAC (National
Accreditation Entity) in accordance with the specifications of the ISO 17025 standard.

ENAC is a member of EA (European Accreditation) and ILAC (International Laboratory

Accreditation Cooperation), Wavecontrol's accreditation is therefore valid in many countries
around the world.
