13. The window width is generally specified by the standard At typical RF frequencies this value is often six minutes Again for most RF exposure evaluations RMS averaging is recommended The six minute average value is the RMS average of the field intensity values measured during the previous six minutes or whatever averaging window time is selected With the HI 2200 averaging times of three six twelve and 30 minutes can be selected It is important to note that when using interval or moving averaging a true time average is not displayed until readings have been averaged over at least one interval six minutes in our example Moving averaging assumes that prior to beginning the averaging process the exposure has been negligible zero and that for the first averaging interval a portion of the averaged data will be zero This feature is helpful in that if the exposure is excessive during the measurement it is possible to exceed the full six minute average in less than six minutes For example if the fields were four times the exposure limit the six minute time averages would be exceeded in approximately 90 seconds The moving six minute average function of the HI 2200 provides this information to the user in a timely manner The six minute average data in combination with the alarm function can be used in this situation To alarm on the time averaged value this value must be the primary display value Take care that personnel are no

26. the meter is set to collect a running average The display mode is updated so the primary number displayed is the AVG value When spatial averaging is activated a new log file must be created for each set of data collected The append feature is not available in this mode The meter logs one data point per second beginning when the log key is pressed and ending when log is pressed again 30 In spatial averaging a series of measurements are taken during a relatively short period of time usually not more than two to three minutes At the end of the period the average value is the answer The measurement is used to monitor compliance with standards based on the whole body average maximum permissible exposures MPE The average field is measured over the space occupied by the subject s body For more information about averaging see Averaging on page 38 ALARM POINT Alarm Point allows the user to set a field level above which an alarm will indicate sound The range is 0 00 to 1000 units Audio must be set to Alarm for an audible tone to sound when the alarm level is reached If the alarm level is set higher than the range of the probe the alarm will not indicate sound Setting the alarm level to 0 00 will turn the alarm off AUDIO Audio is an audio annunciator that is provided to signal various functions on the HI 2200 Options include None Alarm Cadence and Both e None turns off all sounds excluding the startup tone e Alarm

28. wer frequency measurements below about 100 kHz when a safety guideline or standard allows averaging At higher frequencies typically above about 100 kHz the primary metric of interest is the energy absorption into the body To most accurately define these exposures it is necessary that averaging be proportional to power density more accurately plane wave power density which is proportional to the square of the field intensity field strength units squared With the HI 2200 this type of averaging is described as RMS root mean square averaging In this mode each of the individual field intensity values is squared and these squared values summed This sum is divided by the total number of values and the square root of this result calculated to indicate field strength values The resulting number is the RMS average value When the displayed units are in power density linear and RMS averaging provide the same results 38 Second when averaging electromagnetic field measurement data many safety standards allow for a process called time averaging or temporal averaging This process allows for the effect of field intensity exposure variations on the thermal mass or thermal lag time of the human body When the EMF exposure varies in a sufficiently predictable manner it may be possible to incorporate time averaging into the exposure evaluation When time averaging is applied the field exposure values are averaged over a moving window in time
