1 - General information
1.1 Documentation Enclosed in this manual:
• service questionnaire to send back to NARDA
• check list of accessories enclosed in packaging.
1.2 Introduction EHP-200A/AC E-H fields analyzer has been designed for accurate
measurements of both electric (0,02 to 1000 V/m) and magnetic (3 mA/m
to 300 A/m) fields in the frequency range 9 kHz to 30 MHz (EHP-200A)
and both electric (0,02 to 1000 V/m) and magnetic (6 mA/m to 1000 A/m)
fields in the frequency range 3 kHz to 30 MHz (EHP-200AC).
Both the field sensors and the electronic measuring circuitry are
accommodated in a robust housing, only 92x92x109 mm in size.
Measurements are given separately for the 3-axis, or total value (peak and
average), with exceptional flatness and linearity.
Results are expressed in V/m, A/m, microT, mG, mW/cm2, W/m2 and % of
a selected limit.
The EHP-200A/AC features built- in spectrum analysis with minimum
resolution of 1 kHz for detailed measurements of the E and H field intensity
vs. frequency over a great dynamic range of 80 dB.
The power supply is provided by an internal Li-Ion battery for up to 12
hours of continuous operation, or from an external 10-15 V DC source by
an AC adapter.
The EHP-200A/AC is controlled by a PC-based program, and
measurements are transmitted in real time through a optical fiber link.
An auxiliary input allows for measuring the frequency spectrum of external
signals from any other RF device.
Thanks to it very small size and to the optical fiber link, the EHP-200A/AC
does not influence the electromagnetic fields under measure, thus
ensuring more accurate and sensitive measurements.
Therefore the EHP-200A/AC is particularly suitable for nearby
measurements of LW-AM-SW bands transmitters, metal detectors, and
any other application requiring measurements of RF signals in the 9 kHz –
30 MHz range (EHP-200A) or in the 3 kHz – 30 MHz range (EHP-200AC),
with great advantage wherever the conventional antennas are inadequate
due to their physical dimensions, and cable influence must be prevented.
EHP-200A/AC is housed in a small cubic case. Bottom: optical fiber

connector, extension rod screw, battery charger connector, auxiliary RF
input, ON/OFF button and operation LED.
The magnetic sensor system is composed by three orthogonal magnetic

loops. The electric sensor system is composed by three orthogonal parallel
capacitors installed on opposite side of the magnetic loops.

1.9 Anisotropy 1) The IEEE 1309 [3] defined the anisotropy (A) as the maximum deviation
from the geometric mean of the maximum response and minimum
response when the probe is rotated around the ortho-axis (e.g. "virtual
handle") as shown in the example in figure below.
 S max 
A = 20 ⋅ log 10   dB equation (1)
 S max ⋅ S min 
 
where S is the measured amplitude in field strength units.
2) The IEC 61786 [2] "Measurement of low-frequency magnetic and

electric fields with regards to exposure of human beings - special
requirements for instruments and guidance for measurements" doesn't
define the anisotropy and suggests, for three-axis probes, the calibration of
each axis when each element is aligned with the incident field.
The calibration should also be checked for a specific orientation where
approximately there is the same indication for each one of the three axis
(XYZ measurement).
Following this suggestion some laboratories find the minimum and the
maximum values of the X,Y,Z and XYZ measure and calculate the
anisotropy using equation (1).
3) We calculated the anisotropy with equation (1) but with 3D mesh

measurements to cover 4π steradians, that is to say in a much more
severe condition than the orthotropic one.
Fig. 1-3 3D mesh measurements of magnetic probe
Each x marker in the fig.1 indicates the coordinates surface of the spherical
coordinates (r, θ, ϕ).
The anisotropy is evaluated with 30 degrees steps for θ and ϕ , and r
shows the calibration factor at each position.
The typical value of anisotropy is 10% (0.8 dB).
The anisotropy calculated in this way is worse respect to the other cases
above described, and it is more representative of the reality.

A good evaluation of the anisotropy of a field probe should be carried out in
a place where all of the following conditions are satisfied:
Far Field
Plane wave
Uniform field
Since the calibration systems are not infinite, these conditions can be
approximated but never reached, and so the evaluation of anisotropy for
our probes shows results worse than the reality. So, the real typical
anisotropy response is better than what specified.
EHP-200A and EHP-200AC are housed in a small cubic case. The bottom
side panel includes an optical fiber connector, extension rod screw, battery
charger connector, ON/OFF button and Status LED.
Fig. 1-4 EHP-200A/EHP-200AC axes
The sensitive elements are located approximately 8 mm below the external

surface

As depicted above, the magnetic sensor system is composed by three
magnetic loops positioned orthogonal each other. The electric sensor
system is composed by three orthogonal parallel plates capacitors installed
on the opposite side of the magnetic loops.
The geometric structure of the Narda probes, with sensors placed on the
peripheral faces of the cube, shows the same behavior as one with the
sensors accumulated in the center, when measuring far fields.
Moreover, this provides the opportunity to evaluate also very nearby fields,
albeit with all the limitations that this entails, knowing exactly where the
single sensor is, and allowing to minimize the contribution of the others.

2.4 To return for repair When the meter needs to be returned to NARDA for repair, please
complete the questionnaire appended to this User’s Manual, filling in all the
data that will be useful for the service you have requested.
For reducing the period of time required for the repairs, it is necessary to
be as specific as possible in describing the problem. If the problem only
occurs in certain circumstances, please describe in detail how it happens.
If possible it is better to reuse the original packaging; making sure that the
apparatus is wrapped in thick paper or plastic.
Otherwise, use strong packaging by using a sufficient quantity of shock
absorbent material around all sides of the meter to ensure that it is
compact and does not move around inside the package.
In particular, take every precaution to protect the front panels.
Finish the package by sealing it up tightly.
Apply a FRAGILE label to the package to encourage greater care in its
handling.
Nowadays there are restrictions on the shipment of hazardous

materials, eg. some types of lithium batteries.
Please, check the proper, safe, shipping mode, with the help of your
courier, in the case the product is equipped with batteries.
2.5 To clean the meter Use a dry, clean and non-abrasive cloth for cleaning the meter.
Do not use solvents, acids, turpentine, acetone or other similar
products for cleaning the meter in order to avoid damaging it.

Installation and Use 2-1
2.6 Installation of the To install EHP-200A/AC, connect the supplied fiber optic to the OPTIC LINK
EHP-200A/AC connector taking care that the spigot matches the housing. Connect the
other end of the fiber optic to the OPTIC LINK connector of the USB-OC or
8053-OC. Connect the converter to a port of the PC.
Do not pull the fiber optic by holding onto the cable but use the
connector so that the head does not get damaged.
Avoid dirt and other particles getting into the transducers of the fiber
optic.
The fiber optic of the EHP-200A/AC Analyzer can be disconnected and

reconnected while in use. In this case, communication will be restarted
automatically.
Turn on EHP-200A/AC by pushing the Red POWER button for one second.
Run EHP200-TS control software.
Communication with PC is shown by the blinking green LED.
EHP-200A/AC must be ON before running EHP200-TS control software.

EHP-200A/AC may not be correctly recognized if switched ON when the
control software is already running.
Pressing the POWER down button for more than 4 seconds forces the
hardware of the apparatus to shut down. Then, it is necessary to wait
several seconds before switching it on again.
When switched on, the three-color ON DATA LED will provide the following
information:
After switching on the analyzer, the ORANGE LED lights up for about ½
second as an auto-check, after that the Green light starts blinking which
means that the firmware has been correctly downloaded.
TABLE 2-1 Led colour

Blinking speed Colour of the LED Meaning

The EHP-200A/AC can be switched off manually by pressing the Red

POWER button. If the attempt to communicate is not successful or if
the fiber optic is not connected to the PC, the EHP-200A/AC will
automatically switch off after about 30 minutes to preserve the battery
charge.
2-2 Installation and Use

2.7 EHP-200A/AC EHP-200A/AC features an efficient control of the Li-Ion internal battery.
Battery management The picture below shows the typical discharging curve:
Fig. 2-1 EHP-200A/AC Battery Discharging

2.8 EHP-200A/AC EHP-200A/AC has an internal rechargeable Li-Ion battery to be recharged
Power supply and by the supplied battery charger (the battery charger is the same as that of
battery charging 8053 DISPLAY).
The charge of the probe, must come within the following conditions:
• Temperature From 0°C to +35°C
Make a full charging cycle before using the Analyzer for longest battery
operation time.
It is recommended to connect the battery charger to the AC mains

BEFORE connecting it to the EHP-200A/AC.
The battery charger has an internal output current limiter in case of
overload when connecting to the mains.
Battery charger for EHP-200A/AC:

output: DC, 10 - 15 V, ~ 560 mA - +
Connector:
The minimum voltage level for operation is 3.25V. Under this battery
voltage the analyzer will turn OFF automatically and the battery must
be charged.
Charging time is of 4-5 hours. Battery recharging is indicated when the Led
of EHP-200A/AC is green. When the charge is complete the led turns off.
The battery status is reported by the EHP200-TS control program
When charging is in progress the operator is warned in the battery sub-

window.

2.9 Avoiding To avoid disturbing the measurements in progress, the user or other people
measurement errors or mobile vehicles should stay at least 5 meters away from the EHP-
200A/AC Analyzers. We also recommend that the probe be set up far from
metal objects or masses.
To perform correct measurements, the tripod TR-02A to hold EHP-

200A/AC is reccomended. Using an unsuitable support could influence
the measurements thus giving incorrect results.
We recommend always using the supplied isolated extension rod
together with the TR-02A optional tripod to positioning the EHP-
200A/AC at the height stated by the reference standards for the
measurement in progress.
Use the same configuration to ensure the measurements taken can be
repeated.
The intensity of the measured field mainly depends on its voltage and
the geometry of the system under analysis, as well as on the distance
between the conductors and the measurement points. In proximity of
the cables the field value reading may be very high and will vary
according to the location of the probe.
From the definition of the potential difference between two points:

r2
V 21  E dr
= −
r1
It is evident that, keeping the potential difference constant as the
distance between the two points under examination decreases, the
intensity of the field necessarily increases.
E.g.: the electric field intensity between two armatures of a parallel-
plate capacitor situated at a distance of 0.1 m and having a potential
difference of 100 V is equal to:
100V
E= = 1 KV
0,1m m
It should be noted that a voltage of 100 V, in these conditions,
generates a field of 1000 V/m. It is, therefore, possible, in the vicinity of
220 V conductors, that there may be a field which is much higher than
220 V/m.

You can find the folders in the following path:

C:\Programs\NardaSafety\EHP-TS, select it and click “OK”
Click “next” to start installation.

Click “continue”
It may happen that a more recent version of a requested file is already

present in your system.
In this case do not replace it but answer “No” to the confirmation request:

In case of Windows XP operating system the entire procedure will be
executed twice as two different drivers will be installed. Same steps
as above should be followed and same path
C:\Programs\NardaSafety\EHP-TS must be selected.
Click “Finish” to complete driver installation, the new hardware is now

ready to be used.
USB-OC converter driver is now installed in your PC, you can remove it, if
needed, following instructions in cap.8.

4.2 Hardware Connect the USB-OC supplied with EHP-200A/AC to a USB port of the
installation PC, and the optic fiber cable to the EHP-200A/AC. Instead if you connect
the probe to the RS232 port, you must use the optional accessories 8053-
OC.
Do not pull the optic fiber by holding onto the cable but use the
connector so that the head does not get damaged.
Avoid dirt and other particles getting into the transducers of the optic
fiber.
Fig. 4-2 EHP-200A/AC link with USB-OC
Fig. 4-3 EHP-200A/AC link with 8053-OC
EHP-200A/AC should be OFF.

4.3 COM Port setting The optional accessory 8053-OC optical/RS232 adapter can be used to
with 8053-OC connect EHP-200A/AC to PC allowing thus 80 m maximum fiber length.
With 8053-OC the program automatically establishes the connection on the
first RS232 port that is not in use at that time, in the following order: COM1,
COM2, COM3, etc.
The energy available on the DB9 connector of some PC model could

be not sufficient to guarantee a good link with 80 meter fiber.

be not sufficient to guarantee a link with 8053-OC. In this case, is
necessary use 8053-OC-PS between the converter and PC (for more
information see Accessories).
Whenever a port is tied up by a device which is not active or turned off at

that time, the program recognises it as free and will therefore attempt to
connect EHP-200A/AC to that port. In this case, it is necessary to “force”
the next serial port by the following procedure:
• Click right the requested program icon and select “properties”.

• Add the command COMM=N preceded by a space (in capital letters) at
the end of the Destination field where N indicates the serial port to be
used; for example, if the EHP-200A/AC is connected to port 2, add the
command COMM=2.
The assigned COM port nr. must be between 1 and 9.
• In some operating system the Destination field is enclosed in

double quotation marks (“); in this case, the command COMM=N,
preceded by a space must be outside as in the example below;
• Then confirm by selecting Apply

• After switching the analyzer ON, run the control software.
EHP-200A/AC must be ON before running EHP200-TS control

software.
EHP-200A/AC may not be correctly recognized if switched ON when
the control software is already running.

5-2 Description
Commands are grouped in the control panel in 5 different sections:
Mode: to set different operating modes
Span: to set sweep parameter and Resolution Bandwidth
Standard: to create and save limit traces, to activate a specific limit
Data: to display measurement results and save data
Style: to change colours and buttons aspect
Each section can be activated with a mouse click.
5.2.2 Plot ranges

colours
Fig.5-2 Plot ranges colours
As it is visible in the picture above, when a three axial measurement is

selected, together with an active limit, the plot area is divided into up to 4
zones, of different colours.
The first (#1, white in the example) is the range affected by the DC offset
and so it is not taken into account for the measurement result.
The other three areas become coloured when the measurement is
completed and ready. So at least three sweeps are needed to light up the
coloured zones. In the example, one of the ICNIRP limits is active.
The third zone (#3, cyan in the example) refers to the linear range of the
limit and the fourth zone (#4, green in the example) refers to the quadratic
range of the limit.
Description 5-3
5.3 Mode section Mode section allows setting different acquisition modes, as well as defining
Electric and Magnetic field, and preferred unit.
Input/Range: to select electric field, magnetic field in two different

ranges, auxiliary input (50 Ohm input connector) and dual field mode in two
different ranges.
Move the mouse cursor over “Magnetic” to display frequency range

and level range of “Mode A” and “Mode B”.
Preamplifier: for best sensitivity when activated (vertical range changes

accordingly).
Unit: to select unit according to the Input setting. Unless a Dual mode has
been selected, Power density units are correlated ones assuming
measurement to be performed in far field condition.
Power density units in Dual mode are calculated from both electric
and magnetic field measurements (no correlated units included in the
calculation) and therefore valid in both far field and near field
condition.
The unit “%” can be selected only if a Limit has been activated. Each
spectrum line will then represent the field strength expressed as
percent of the selected limit.
Ω (Wave impedance) button: the selected input must be Dual (Magnetic

mode A or B). When selected, the calculated wave impedance will be
shown on the graph, instead of the field level.
It represents the 3 axis total E and H fields strength at each frequency.
The wave impedance is the ratio between Electric and Magnetic field at
each frequency. It is used for evaluations in near field condition.
To prevent measurement errors the wave impedance is obtained by
the ratio at frequencies where both the fields are at least 10dB
above the noise floor of the instrument.
Back to any other unit button: to close the wave impedance display and
switching back to the levels graph.
5-4 Description
5.4 Span section
EHP-200A/AC does not include an FFT analyzer but a powerful receiver in

the 9kHz – 30MHz frequency range (EHP-200A) or in the 3kHz – 30MHz
frequency range (EHP-200AC). The span section includes the following
controls:
Start, Stop, Center, Span: to easily set, as in any spectrum analyzer, the
frequency sweep parameters.
Full Span button: to quickly set the frequency sweep parameters from 0Hz
to 30MHz.
Even if in this condition the graphical representation includes frequencies
below the minimum operating range, it shows round values on each division
of the vertical grid.
Full Range button: to quickly set the frequency sweep parameters from
9kHz to 30MHz (EHP-200A full frequency range) or from 3kHz to 30MHz
(EHP-200AC full frequency range).
RBW: six different settings for the Resolution Bandwidth filter. This setting
affects the sweep time (the higher RBW, the faster sweep) and frequency
resolution (Lower RBW shows more details in the frequency axis).
When the RBW is set to Coupled the filter width is set automatically
depending on the sweep setting
Depending on the Sweep – Start setting, the RBW filter should be set as
narrow as enough to avoid the spectrum analyzer 0Hz signal to be included
in the displayed spectrum when an integration over the frequency range
has to be performed.
RBW Auto is a useful function to select the RBW filter automatically,

depending on the frequency span.
Linear Sweep or Logarithmic Sweep: this is used to select the linear or

logarithmic frequency scale.
Logarithmic scale is used to empathize and clearly display low frequencies
even though high ones are included in the graph. High frequencies are
therefore compressed to the high side of displayed range.
Right click and drag on the graph window to define graphically the
Zoom frequency range.

5-6 Description
5.5 Standard section Standard section allows the user to select standard ICNIRP, IEEE, BGV
and EU limits, already included by the software installation, as well as
user’s limits which can be created through the “Make Limit” function
provided by this section.
Default: The default limit section can be used to load a default standard
limit saved into the memory at the factory. Default limit list shows limits
which are compatible to the actual setting only. If Electric field was selected
in the Mode section, electric field limits only are displayed by the limit list.
No default limit is shown in case mG or correlated unit was selected.
User Defined: This limit section allows to select and activate a specific limit
among the ones created and saved by the user. They can be Linear or Non
Linear (governed by a mathematic formula).
The Edit Linear Limits button opens a window to edit linear limits and
create new ones.
Description 5-7
Type frequency and field strength for each point of the required limit and
click save to save it under the program directory. The limit file will be
created as a linear interpolation between specified points.
When the ICNIRP or IEEE limit is selected, the software automatically

calculates the corresponding total integration of the measured
signals, and compares the result with the threshold set by the
standard, considering whether it is or is not exceeded.
The Edit Logarithmic Limits button opens a window to edit those limits
that are related to log frequency axis, and create new ones:
Click Load to edit a previously saved limit.
Type in the Start and Stop frequencies in the appropriate boxes, and
choose the right measurement Unit.
Introduce the strength Value and choose its Unit.
Then choose the formula from the list and type the exponent value.
Click save to save it under the program directory. The limit file will be
created as a calculation of the mathematic expression.
5-8 Description
5.6 Data section Even if EHP-200A/AC takes measurement over the entire selected span,
shown results are related to the displayed spectrum only, allowing thus
detailed evaluation of user defineable frequency range through the zoom
function.
Fig. 5-4 Data section
The white band on the left side of the graph highlights signals below the
minimum start frequency (1,2 % of Span) which are affected by residual
DC peak. Calculation of Wideband result does not include any spectral line
within the white band.
Measurement result: the following values are showed in a table form:
Highest Peak: Maximum value within the displayed spectrum.

Showed parameters:
Highest Peak field strength in the selected Unit (V/m in the above picture)
Highest Peak frequency (Hz)
% of contribution to the WideBand result
When a limit is selected and activated, its compliance situation to the linear
and quadratic ranges is shown in the two left bottom boxes.
Marker: you can place a marker anywhere on the spectrum display with a
mouse click
Showed parameters:
Field strength at Marker frequency in the selected Unit
Marker frequency (Hz)
% of contribution to the WideBand result
In this area you can select which trace to place the Marker onto: specific

corresponding to the Marker frequency.
Delta: Difference in Field strength (expressed in dB) and frequency (Hz)

between Highest Peak and Marker
WideBand: integration over the displayed frequency band

Showed parameters:
Field strength in the selected unit calculated over the Bandwidth (Hz)
Four additional frames, Acquisition, Marker, Save and Waterfall, are

included in the Data section:
Acquisition: spectrum is displayed in different acquisition modes.

Here is the choice between instantaneous reading and Root Mean Squared
over a certain period, which is set in the proper box. A Max Hold function is
also available. When the RMS is activated, a progressive bar appears
showing, step by step, how many seconds are already taken into account
for the calculation of the result.
Free Scan: instantaneous values are shown; the display is continuously

updated with new instantaneous readings.
RMS over 6 min: square averaging calculated over 6 minutes time period
as requested by several regulation for high frequency field measurement.
This is a moving average. Ones the first time period has been completed,
oldest data is discarded to be replaced by the newest one showing thus the
average value of the latest time period as specified.
RMS over: square averaging calculated over the specified time period (sec)
is shown.
Max Hold: the maximum field strength value of each frequency step is
retained and displayed since the Max Hold function has been activated.
Every spectral line is therefore updated only if the new value is greater than
the previously displayed one showing thus the Maximum of each spectral
line since the Max hold function was activated.
Save: three buttons in this area to save spectrum as a picture file (.bmp),
as a text file (.txt) or to copy the spectrum picture to the Windows Clipboard.
5-10 Description
Auto save text: it is a functionality provided to automatically save a text file
containing the measurements data and information.
It is also possible to insert a comment.
The user can select the path where the files will be stored.
The saved files will be structured as following:
Under the selected folder (EHP200-TS in the example) a folder will be

created and called like the current year (ex. 2014).
Inside this folder, another one will be created and called like the current
month (ex. 08, that is to say August).
Again inside a folder will be created for each day of saving (ex. 27).
The measurements will be in this last folder and their names will be in the
format hh_mm_ss_cc.TXT

5.6.3 Waterfall In addition to the spectrum view, another representation has been
introduced in the software, commonly called Waterfall.
The advantage of this view is that the disturbances are shown in a
tridimensional plot. Two dimensions are, as usual, frequency and level, and
the third is the time.
In this way it is possible to detect and track time-varying signals.
The ranges for Frequency and Level are the same as the Spectrum view.
When pressing the Start Waterfall button, a pop-up message can appear
warning the operator if a file with the same name as the one in use, already
exists.

measurement with the starting new one.
Fig.5-7 Waterfall - Graph 2D
In the Graph 2D, the horizontal axis represents Frequency, the vertical axis
is the Time and the colour is the Level.
The signal amplitude is represented in a scale of arbitrary colours, usually

the darker the lower and the brighter the higher, like in thermography.
The Color Scale referenced to levels and units, is indicated on the right
bottom of the screen.
The status-bar shows the number of tracks already acquired and the
maximum available.
On the right two sliders permit to set the preferred Reference Level and
Color Saturation (level dynamic range).
Press the Default button to reload standard settings.

frequency and level and many parameters of the measurement setup and
of the probe used.
On the right, in addition to Ref. Level and Color Saturation, there are two
more sliders, useful to set the frequency resolution (Point of Track) and the
time interval (N° track).
It is also possible to Import or Export a full acquisition by pressing the
corresponding button in the Archive box. The name of the measurement
can be typed in the Name box and from the list it is possible to select an
already saved one.
In the Save box two or four buttons (depending on the marker activation)
can be pressed to save:
- a single trace (Levels vs Frequencies)
- a single Frequency (Levels vs Time)
- an image of the spectrogram
- the clipboard

5.8 Additional functions EHP-200A/AC electromagnetic field analyzer provides Electric and
provided by Magnetic field selective measurement in the 9kHz – 30MHz frequency
EHP200-TS range (EHP-200A) or in the 3kHz – 30MHz frequency range (EHP-200AC).
Even though there is no difference from EHP-50G regarding minimal
physical overall dimensions and sensor positioning, a high frequency
selective receiver is housed within this product.
Additional settings and functions are therefore available.
Regarding settings, Span can be set as desired within the entire frequency
range and required RBW filter can be selected down to 1kHz allowing thus
optimum selectivity.
As requested by reference standards, Average value can be automatically
calculated over 6 minutes as well as over customer definable time periods.
An important advantage, which is provided thanks to the Dual (E and H),
Tri-axial sensor technology implemented in EHP-200A/AC is the new
concept of power density calculation which, unlike common practice, makes
use of both E and H real measurements providing thus accurate results
which are still valid in both Near and Far Field conditions.
Fig.5-10 Both electric and magnetic fields can be displayed on the same graph.
Fig.5-11 Power density spectrum is calculated over real electric and magnetic field
measurement and therefore applicable to both far and near field conditions.

10 - Software command protocol
10.1 Introduction EHP-200A/AC commands allow the user to set the analyzer and query for
data through the serial communication interface.
Communication protocol is the following:

• Baud: 38400
• Parity: NONE
• Length: 8 bit
• Bit Stop: 1
To allow operation with 8053-DISPLAY accessory, EHP-200A is

automatically set in “Master” mode at power ON.
Measurement data are continuously sent over the communication
port regardless of received commands.
Since this operating mode might be not useful when interfacing to
other software, the command #00v* can be sent to the analyzer to
turn it in “Slave” mode; while operating in Slave mode, EHP-200A
send answers to the received commands according to the
communication protocol described below.
To turn the EHP-200A in “Master mode”, switch the probe off and
then on again; it will be automatically set in Master mode at power
ON.
The EHP-200A automatically turns off 30 minutes after receiving a
command to save battery.
8053-DISPLAY can be used with the EHP200A only.

1-11 Header The Header string is as follow:
1 Bat Battery voltage. Integer, without sign, 8 bit.
To convert to voltage apply the following formula:
Battery Voltage = Bat / 256 * 4.52
2 Chg Battery charge status. Integer, without sign, 8 bit.
Possible values are:
• “0” (0x30)  battery charger NOT connected
• “1” (0x31)  battery under charge
• “2” (0x32)  battery charge completed
Note: with a battery voltage higher than 4.12 Volt AND Chg = 1 the battery
charge should be considered completed.
3-11 Res Byte reserved to future use

From 12 to Data The Data Packet string is as follow:
5*(Stop- Packet
Start)/Step
12, Sync Integer, without sign, 8 bit. Used for synchronizing control purposes.
12+5*n Sync is the modulus 256 of the actual Step starting at the Start frequency (the
Sync at Start frequency is = 1).
Example of sweep with the following parameters:

• Start=0
• Stop=30MHz
• Step= 75kHz
The result will be :
• Sync=1 at 0 MHz (Byte 12). [(0/.075) mod 256 +1=0]
• Sync=41 at 3 MHz (Byte 212). [(3/.075) mod 256 +1=41]
• Sync=45 at 22.5 MHz (Byte 1512). [(22.5/.075) mod 256 + 1=45]
13, Exp Integer, without sign, 16 bit., in the format HiLo, representing the exponent of
13+5*n the field value.
15, Mantissa Integer, without sign, 16 bit., in formato HiLo, representing the mantissa of the
15+5*n field value.
The field value is calculated with the following formula:
Fld=Kf * Mantissa * Sqr(2 ^ Exp) / 8 where Kf is as following:
• Electric field E=0.125
• Magnetic field Mode A H=0.025 (EHP-200A) or H=0.075 (EHP-200AC)
• Magnetic field Mode B H=0.0025 (2.5E-3) (EHP-200A) or H=0.0075 (7.5E-3) (EHP-200AC)
• AUX V=0.0138
When the Preampifier is active the coefficient Kf must be multiplied by 0.2
