RF-8 & RF-60 EMF monitors - Arqiva’s SHE001 Approved - APC Technology

Wavecontrol personal EMF monitors gain Arqiva approval for use on communications infrastructure

Wavecontrol’s RF-8 and RF-60 WaveMon personal EMF monitors have now been added to Arqiva’s SHE001 list of approved products for use by personnel on Arqiva operated communications infrastructure.

Arqiva is one of the UK’s largest operators of communication towers and transmits from 1,450 radio and TV broadcast sites¹. Those working on and maintaining the UK’s network of telecom masts and towers are required to use EMF safety equipment that has been approved by Arqiva and has met its rigorous safety, reliability, and accuracy testing.

These small, lightweight products can be clipped to a harness, belt or arm of the operator working close to a source of EMF. The product features high intensity audible, visible and vibratory alarms to alert workers to EMF exposure beyond a user-defined threshold. Optional GPS and altimeters can provide an additional level of detail to enhance the data logging for reporting and historical registry of data.

The WaveMon RF-8 operates within E-field measurements up to 8GHz and H-field measurements up to 1GHz. Whilst the WaveMon RF-60 is 5G ready and capable of E-field measurements up to 60GHz and H-field measurements up to 1GHz.

“We are delighted to gain Arqiva approval for the WaveMon. The product is fully compliant with ITU-T K.145, issued by the International Telecommunication Union and the Arqiva approval further cements the product as the go-to exposimeter for tower erectors, riggers and RF workers.”

Mick Keryell, APC’s Business Development Manager for Wavecontrol
