Depending on magnitude and frequency, electromagnetic energy fields can impair human health, sometimes irreparably. Any person required to come into an antenna area should be equipped with RF safety equipment such as RF signal strength meters and personal alarms. These warning devices are the first critical step to ensure safety for your employees and yourself.

Ensuring Compliance with FCC RF Safety Rules
by Robert E. Johnson
Although it has been more than seven years since the FCC implemented its rules governing the protection of workers and the general public from exposure to RF energy, the issue often remains well down the list of concerns facing owners and operators of cellular, public safety, paging, and land mobile systems. Nonetheless, it is the responsibility of every system owner or operator to comply with these rules or face significant penalties if an FCC inspection reveals non-compliance. The FCC has demonstrated its intention to enforce the rules, has already fined several violators... [Continue Reading]

Field Technicians — Stay Safe, Stay Alive
Promote safe and healthy working conditions by preventing work-related illness, injury, disability, or even death with occupational safety products specifically designed for field technicians.
Since OSHA has mandated that every Tower Site have a site safety plan, make sure that signage is included in your plan. The weatherproof signs that TESSCO provides are made of the highest quality materials and are resistant to the elements.
RF Alarms or EME Alarms are
your first level of defense against dangerous RF signals. Purchase these critical alarms from the trusted industry leader NARDA.

RadMan RF Personal Alarm
Isotropic Detection
All RadMan monitors are multi-function tools. With the RF absorber cap off, the RadMan functions as a simple instrument with isotropic detection and four level indicator LEDs that provide an approximate indication of field strength. All models can also be used as a simple area monitor. The ESM-TS Interface Set (sold separately) allows the user to download the data collected by the XT Series monitors to a PC.

Narda Survey Meter
Transmission installations on towers and roofs, and also mobile radio equipment, Pager, PCS, SMR and two-way radio (USA) are regarded as radiation sources. The NARDA EMR-300 Broadband RF Survey Meter measures these sources' levels of radiation, so you know where the danger areas are. The meter has FCC-approved Type 25 Probe to make your measurement easier and provides you 30 MHz ... 3 GHz in the near field area and E- and H-field separate measurements.

Nardalert XT RF Monitors
Tower climbers or people doing installations on building roof tops often work with RF applications such as cable leakage, site investigation and simple RF surveys. Nardalert personal monitors provide wearable protection against exposure to RF and microwave, to non-ionizing radiation. The RadMan XT has optional fiber optic cable and software package to perform real-time measurements of both E and H fields, while the Nardalert can data log exposures and be supplied with climbing harnesses to protect it from weather and keep it securely attached to your body. Which model is right for you?
For RF power meters, alarms and, protective clothing, TESSCO has you covered.
