Personal and Area Monitors
Accuracy
Our engineers have designed the new Nardalert S3 to exceed
the accurate performance of our earlier models. Our cus-
tomers know they can trust our designs to provide the same
or better performance when they are worn on the human
body, as it would perform in a calibration facility. All testing
is performed with the sensor in the housing in order to rep-
licate normal day-to-day use and our new shaped-response
sensors more closely follow international standards and
guidance’s. Each sensor is individually calibrated and that in-
formation is stored right in the sensor itself.
Housing
We packaged everything in a rugged plastic housing that
allows you to use it mounted in a common shirt pocket or
secure it with the supplied lanyard or belt-clip mounts. We
supply a strong silicon rubber skin that provides additional
shock protection as a standard accessory. The Nardalert S3
operates from a single standard Type RCR123A battery. This
battery is automatically recharged whenever it is plugged
into a computer and we supply a universal charger to accel-
erate charging from any common AC source or mains plug.
Common automobile USB adapters can also be used, so your
monitor is always ready to work.
Sensors
Initial sensors available cover the most common international
exposure limits. We offer sensors to follow the RF/micro-
wave frequency limits promoted by the US FCC, IEEE (C95.1),
Canada’s Safety Code 6 and ICNIRP. Many users around the
world will find that one of these limits meets their local
requirements for RF and microwave exposures. Future cover-
age will include lower frequency ranges and flat frequency
response sensor modules to perform alternate tasks using
the same Nardalert S3 Mainframe.
Standard and Optioned Models
The Nardalert S3 can be supplied in one of two different
capabilities. Standard units provide all of the basic perfor-
mance necessary for normal operations. Alarm levels are
factory set at 50% and 200% of Reference levels and basic
screens provide all the information the user needs. Advanced
users and applications should consider the additional capa-
bilities of the NS3 Option Key. By entering a software code
through the user software you can expand the operation of
your Nardalert to store, display
and download exposure data,
alter alarm modes and levels,
display historical data on the
Nardalert S3’s display and re-
configure the interface for fiber
optic connections.
