1. INTRODUCTION
DESCRIPTION
The HI-4450/FP2080/FP4080/FP5080 Electric Field Probes 
embody the latest innovations in isotropic sensor design and low 
noise, miniaturized electronics. The HI-
4450/FP2080/FP4080/FP5080 probes are fully intelligent sensor 
enabling fast and accurate EMF measurements with industry-
leading performance specifications. Optical coupling to a variety 
of readout options makes this new probe ideally suited for a wide 
range of field monitoring applications. The HI-
4450/FP2080/FP4080/FP5080 probes are excellent tools for 
electric field mapping, RADHAZ measurements and EMC field 
monitoring. 
 
The basic HI-4450/FP2080/FP4080/FP5080 probes are shipped 
complete with a 10 meter fiber extension cable, a carrying case, 
battery charger and connectors for extending the optic cable. 
 
The HI-4450/FP2080/FP4080/FP5080 probe assembly consists 
of a spherical casing, containing the sensor, which is mounted 
on one end of a shaft; the other end of the shaft is attached to an 
extrusion that houses the electronics (Figure 1). The sensor and 
electronics housing operate-and are calibrated-as a unit. 
 
The HI-4450/FP2080/FP4080/FP5080 measures the field 
strength in each of three axes. It performs a vector addition 
calculation on the readings and sends the resultant to the 
receiver via a fiber optic cable. Frequency response of the HI-
4450/FP2080/FP4080/FP5080 is 80 MHz to 40 GHz; dynamic 
range is 1 to 300 Volts per meter (V/m).
