1.0 Introduction
The ETS-Lindgren HI-3702
Clamp-on Induced Current
Meter measures the induced
body current of individuals
working in environments where
radio frequency (RF)
electromagnetic fields are
present. The HI-3702 is designed
to meet the requirements of
IEEE C95.1-1991 Standard for
Safety Levels with Respect to
Human Exposure to Radio
Frequency Electromagnetic
Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz.

IEEE C95.1-1991 defines the acceptable levels of RF-induced body current for
the frequency range of 3 kHz to 100 MHz. The acceptable levels range from
3 mA for uncontrolled exposures at 3 kHz, to 200 mA for controlled exposures
between 100 kHz and 100 MHz.
The accuracy of the HI-3702 provides a means for determining compliance. The
unit is completely portable and self-contained, and is simple to set up and easy to
operate. The rugged design can be used for measurements in environments
such as:
•
Induction heating facilities
•
Industrial welding applications
•
Broadcast transmitting and antenna locations
