Review on Vlifree Electromagnetic 5HZ 3500MHz Electronic Temperature by Sean Perry

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Useful and informative

This is a good portable instrument that measures temperature, electric field strength and electromagnetic field strength. For the average user, this can be used to understand where high EMF radiation sources are coming from. There are some studies that suggest that continuous exposure above 0.4 µT can lead to some cancers. On the other hand, there are just as many studies showing that it has no effect. But if it bothers you, then this device can help you identify and fix such problems. EMF can change throughout the day depending on many factors, and high ratings don't mean something needs to be discarded. For example, a typical microwave oven or blender and similar appliances with motors tend to run much more than this number, approaching a hundred or more. But the exposure only lasts a few minutes and falls off quickly even as you move towards the tray. I used it to test EMF generation from electronic devices. I work a lot in places with computer networks, network cables and devices that can be affected by EMF. I had a lot of bad packages on a cable and wanted to replace the cable. With this device I found that the power supply for one of my backup batteries was generating enough to overload this detector. By moving the network cable about 15cm, bad packets became normal. I like the backlit screen, but I don't like the fact that it always turns on the flashlight when you turn on the backlight. I didn't think the temperature gauge would be a huge plus, but I quickly figured it would be nice if you're working in a room full of electronics that generate a lot of heat. The unit was easy to use, battery installation was a breeze and the instructions were clear and easy to follow. I'm going to use this in place of the larger multimeter I was using. This is much more compact and easier to transport.

Pros
  • Audible and Light Alarm - Equipped with LED indicator for alarm. It is green when it detects less than 4 mH of radiation, amber when it detects between 4 and 40 mH, and red when it detects more than 40 mH; and comes with an audible alarm, the sound gets louder as the amount of radiation increases, you can also turn it off
Cons
  • Blank
