Chauvin Arnoux VX0100 BioTest LF Electrical Field Tester
Suitable for use in the home or around the office, Chauvin Arnoux VX0100 is used to test the amount of electromagnetic pollution given off by electrical equipment.
The Chauvin Arnoux VX0100 is the upgraded version of the VX0003. The main difference is in the inclusion of a removable 62mm field antenna, whereas the VX0003 has a built-in internal sensor inside its casing. The VX0100 model also has much wider detection range and can measure electromagnetic fields from 10Hz to 100kHz.
Using the external sensor, it's also possible to detect cables due to the electromagnetic field they give off. All tests are carried out with current standards and directives, including 1999/519/CE, 2004/40/CE and others.
The VX0100 has two measurement modes. You can either use the representative testing method to test field strength while taking the user's presence into account, or use the traditional measurement mode to measure field strength with fields referenced to earth.
Chauvin Arnoux VX0100 BioTest LF Electric Field Tester Key Features
- Two measurement modes: representative (takes into account user's magnetic field) or traditional (fields references to earth)
- Test pollution generated by electrical power distribution from 0 to 3kHz
- Test pollution generated by connected equipment from 3 to 100kHz
- Removable external antenna for field measurement and cable detection
- Ideal for testing the magnetic fields given off from electrical power distribution, electrical cables, surge protectors, computers, lighting and more
- Made in compliance with a wide variety of standards including IEEE C95.6-2000, European DIrectives and others
- Measurement range from 10Hz to 100kHz
- Handheld, portable design
- Battery life of approximately 60 to 80 hours
- 2 year manufacturer's warranty included
- Dual indication - measurements on the LCD screen, plus audible indication when fields are detected
- Delivered with a socket tester for determining phase position and presence of earth
