General safety instructions

Electromagnetic fields

WARNING : Strong electromagnetic fields

Very strong electromagnetic fields occur near many radiation sources.

  • Observe safety barriers and markings.
  • In particular, persons with electronic implants must keep away from dangerous areas.

Using batteries

CAUTION: Unsuitable environmental conditions

Excessively high temperatures and air humidity can result in a short circuit that can start a fire. Injuries or destruction of the batteries may result.

  • Observe the data sheet for storing the device and batteries.
  • Periodically check whether the storage temperature and air humidity are within the specified limits.
  • Do not leave discharged batteries in the measurement device for extended periods of time.
  • Do not store the batteries for longer than six months without charging from time to time.
  • The batteries must not be stored with other metal objects.
  • Long storage reduces the capacity of the battery and shortens the expected functional life. The housing can also be damaged from within by escaping electrolyte.

Device malfunctions

NOTICE: Malfunction

Improper use, damages and unauthorized repairs can affect the accuracy and function of the device.

  • Only operate the device under the conditions and for the purposes for which it was designed.
  • Periodically inspect the device for damages.
  • Only have repairs performed by specialists.

Intended use
The RadMan 2LT/2XT radiation monitors are warning devices for the protection of people who work in areas where increased levels of electromagnetic radiation are present. Broadcasting, telecommunications and radar antennas are examples of sources of strong high-frequency radiation. Transmission systems can often not be completely shut down. Should this be necessary, a check must be performed to determine whether the shutdown has actually occurred. In these situations, a personal monitor provides safety. The device is worn on the body and warns the user in good time before the impermissible limit values are exceeded. RadMan 2LT and RadMan 2XT comply with the recommendations of ITU-T K.145 with regard to the use and properties of RF personal monitors.

Unpacking
The packaging is designed so that it can be reused if not damaged during a prior transport. Thus, the original packaging can be used in all further transports. The device and accessory parts may exhibit transport damages especially if the packaging has already been clearly damaged.

Check for completeness and damages:

  • Remove device and accessories from the case and check for completeness as well as any transport damages.
    CAUTION! Do not operate a damaged device.

  • In the event of an incomplete delivery and damages to the device or accessories, please contact your Narda sales partner. You can find the Narda sales partner responsible for you on the Narda website at www.narda-sts.com.

Standard conformity
The permissible limit values specified in the standards are frequency- dependent. Weighting filters in the sensors of the RadMan 2 simulate the frequency response of the standard. They ensure that the alarm thresholds are correct over the entire frequency range. Settings are not necessary. Underlying safety standards:

  • CNIRP 1998 / Occupational (corresponds to Directive 2013/35/EU)
  • FCC 96-326 / Occupational
  • Canada Safety Code 6 (2015) / Controlled
  • ICNIRP 1998 / General Public, E-Field (RadMan 2LT only)

Sensor technology
At close range to a radiation source, the otherwise fixed relationship between an electric field and magnetic field no longer applies. Both field types must therefore be checked. RadMan 2 is equipped with E-field and H-field sensors and thus warns reliably, independent of the distance to the radiation source.

Automatic sensor test
The newly developed sensor test tests the proper function of the individual sensors each time the device is switched on. The device no longer needs to be tested with a test generator prior to beginning work.

Body effects
The radiation monitors are mainly worn on the body. For simple fastening to a climbing harness or belt, RadMan 2 includes a suitable holder with integrated RF absorber. The RF absorber reduces the signal reflections caused by the body that would affect the results output by the monitor. If necessary, the RadMan 2 can be removed from the holder with one hand to determine the field exposure off the body with isotropic directional response. An elastic safety lanyard between the device and holder protects the device from falling down.

Assembly and fastening

Attaching the safety lanyard
Monitor and mounting adapter (holder) can be connected to one another using a safety lanyard. This protects the monitor from falling down if it is removed from the case attached to the body. The safety lanyard can very easily be removed from the holder by means of a carabiner.

Connecting the safety lanyard to the monitor:

  1. Fold down the cover cap on the bottom of the housing and push the mounting loop through the opening of the cover cap.
  2. Thread the mounting loop through the opening above the threaded connection and pull up and out on the rear side.
  3. Pull safety lanyard through the eyelet of the mounting loop.
  4. Place loop around the two notches at the front.
  5. Tighten the loop.
  6. Close the cover cap again.narda-RadMan-2LT-2XT-Personal-Radiation-Monitor-FIG- \(3\)

Connecting the safety lanyard to the mounting adapter

  • The safety lanyard is secured to the mounting adapter via the carabiner. Monitor is separated from the mounting adapter.
  • Push the carabiner into the mounting adapter from below and attach to the bracket.

NOTE : By releasing the carabiner, the monitor can easily be removed from the mounting adapter. The monitor is then no longer protected against falling down, however!

Fastening the monitor to the body
The mounting adapter is intended to be attached to a climbing harness or a belt. For this purpose, the mounting adapter is secured to the desired position with the supplied fastening strap. The buckle allows the mounting adapter to be attached and released quickly.

Attaching the mounting adapter:

  1. Guide the fastening strap through the two slots of the mounting adapter (Figure 2, a) :
    • To fasten to a climbing harness: use longitudinal slots.
    • The buckle should be located to the right of the mounting adapter and the fastening tab should point upward.
    • To fasten to a belt: use horizontal slots.
    • The buckle should be located at the bottom and the fastening tab should point upward.
  2. Place the fastening strap around the climbing belt strap or the belt and thread through the buckle.
    • The end of the strap is sewn down to prevent the device from accidentally slipping out (Figure 2, b). When releasing the strap, press the sewn-down part against the strap and pull out of the buckle.
  3. Tighten the fastening strap and close the buckle (Figure 2, c).narda-RadMan-2LT-2XT-Personal-Radiation-Monitor-FIG- \(5\)

Operation with batteries
The device is delivered with partially charged batteries. The batteries must be fully charged prior to the first use, however. Charging can be performed at the USB-C connection via a suitable USB port (e.g., on a PC) or with a standard USB charger (min. 500 mA charging current). The fully charged batteries can supply power for an operating duration of approx. 800 hours (without alarm).

NOTE : Already a short battery charging time of approx. 5 minutes allows the device to be used for up to 8 hours.

Operation with non-rechargeable batteries

NOTE : Operation with non-rechargeable batteries is not recommended, but is, in principle, possible.

Regardless of the use of non-rechargeable batteries, charging is started when a USB connection is made or when the charger is connected. Therefore, be certain to observe the following warning instruction.

CAUTION: Use of non-rechargeable batteries

When using non-rechargeable batteries, establishing a USB connector or connecting the charger results in an impermissible charging process. This may cause the batteries to explode and lead to severe injuries.

  • If non-rechargeable batteries are used, do not establish a USB connection and do not connect the charger.
  • Only use non-rechargeable batteries if absolutely necessary and replace with rechargeable batteries as quickly as possible.

Charging batteries
