## Description

Product description Why Choose TriField? The TriField EMF Meter Model TF2 combines three useful meters into one powerful, portable device: AC gaussmeter, AC electric field meter, and RF radio power density meter . The TF2 is designed to measure electromagnetic fields (EMF) where you spend significant time, such as home, office, or automobile. Use the TF2 to identify high-EMF areas to avoid prolonged exposure and reduce fields through mitigation (e.g., repositioning appliances or shielding RF with aluminum foil or wire mesh). Key Features Accurate and Sensitive: The TriField TF2 Meter detects low-level RF (e.g., radio/TV broadcasts) that most other meters miss. The TF2 reads near zero in low-field environments (e.g., elevators or when wrapped in metal foil). The TF2 will not read ham radio frequencies below 20MHz. User-Friendly: Large, easy-to-read display with backlight for day or night use (try measuring electric field from compact fluorescent lighting on and off to note the change in field). Optional sound increases with the field strength, helping to pinpoint high field locations. Just rotate the easy turn knob to the field to be measured and the TF2 will automatically begin measuring and displaying that field. Practical Applications: Check Appliance grounding, locate live wiring in walls, mitigate high fields and test shielding effectiveness. Manufactured, Supported and Serviced in Salt Lake City, UT USA Are you aware of the fields your devices emit—and how strong they are? How to Use the TriField TF2 Meter Magnetic Fields (“MAG”) Settings: Standard MAG (all frequencies equal) or Weighted MAG (emphasizes higher frequencies for biological impact). Measurement: Read the large number (in milligauss) after waiting 3 seconds for warmup. Avoid rapid movement of the TF2 to prevent false readings. Typical Levels: Standard MAG: ≤ 3.0 milligauss in most North American homes. Weighted MAG: ≤ 5.0 milligauss. Notes: Higher readings may occur near breaker boxes or in cars. Focus on areas where you spend time. Magnetic readings are consistent regardless of meter orientation (true 3-axis measurement). To reduce high fields, try repositioning appliances or avoiding high-field areas (see user guide for tips). Electric Fields (“ELEC”) Settings: Standard ELEC or Weighted ELEC (emphasizes higher frequencies). Measurement: Point the top of the meter toward the source and hold by the lower half to avoid blocking the field. Readings are higher when holding due to body conductivity (this is expected). Typical Levels: ≤ 50 V/m in quiet areas, higher near outlets, cords, or fluorescent lights. Notes: Use to check appliance grounding. Metal appliances (e.g., fridges) should read ≤ 50 V/m near the surface. Higher readings may indicate a grounding issue or shock hazard. Weighted ELEC reflects potential biological impact of higher frequencies. Radio/Microwave Fields (“RF”) Settings: Measures 20 MHz–6 GHz (most 5G, Wi-Fi, cell towers, Bluetooth, smart meters). Measurement: Read the average (large number, in milliwatts/m²) and peak (upper left) values. Watch the indicator bar for pulsing digital signals. Typical Levels: Peak: ≤ 5.000 mW/m² (watch for 1 minute). Average: ≤ 1.000 mW/m². Notes: Digital signals (Wi-Fi, cell towers) pulse, causing fluctuating averages; peak values are more consistent. Smart Meters: Electric meters pulse ~once/minute; hold near the meter and note the peak value. Gas meters pulse rarely (e.g., once/day), making RF negligible. Sources: Wi-Fi routers emit more RF than connected devices; microwave ovens leak continuous (non-pulsing) RF. Shielding: Block RF with aluminum foil, mesh, or Mylar emergency blankets (shiny type), like a mirror reflecting light. Tips for Reducing EMF Exposure Magnetic: Move appliances to different outlets or avoid high-field areas (e.g., near breaker boxes). RF: Shield with aluminum foil, window screens, or Mylar blankets to block cell tower or Wi-Fi signals. Move RF emitting electronics. Electric: Ensure appliances are properly grounded to reduce fields and shock risks. For detailed guidance, refer to the user manual included with your TF2 meter. Use the TriField Meter Model TF2 to identify and reduce EMF in your home, workplace, vehicle and beyond. Measure AC Magnetic Field from outdoor central air conditioning unit attached to a home Measure packet data RF from Wi-Fi routers in the office Measure Radio/Microwave Field RF Leakage from microwave ovens in the kitchen Measure AC Electric Field from overhead fluorescent light in the workshop Features and Specifications Easy to Use: just turn the knob to the type of field to be measured Weighted Mode for Magnetic and Electric Fields emphasizes higher frequencies above 60Hz to show field effects on the human body Detects all three types of EMF pollution: AC magnetic, AC electric, and RF/microwave Large LCD for crystal clear, accurate readings with adjustable backlight Peak Hold captures fast pulses, for measuring fast digital RF signals Sensitive RF mode for measuring the signal from mobile phones and Wi-Fi EMF. Specific frequency information is NOT displayed. AC magnetic measurements are 3-axis , allowing for quick readings, regardless of meter orientation. Many less expensive meters are single-axis only. Magnetic : Move appliances to different outlets or avoid high-field areas (e.g., near breaker boxes). RF : Shield with aluminum foil, window screens, or Mylar blankets to block cell tower or Wi-Fi signals. Move RF emitting electronics. Electric : Ensure appliances are properly grounded to reduce fields and shock risks. For detailed guidance, refer to the user manual included with your TF2 meter. What Can You Measure with a TF2? Most common wireless communication signals, including WiFi, Bluetooth, and lower-band 5G, EMF from electrical wiring in homes and offices, Everyday appliances like microwaves, induction and electric stoves, TVs, computers, and more. What Can't a TF2 Measure? Radio signals below 20 MHz (such as AM radio, ham radio, and some specialized government frequencies) Any form of ionizing radiation (like nuclear or radioactive emissions) The ultra-high-frequency, experimental millimeter-wave bands used in some 5G applications Why does my measurement seem to "jump" or "bounce"? That’s actually a sign of accuracy! EMF fields — especially RF (radio frequency) — are naturally dynamic and constantly changing. There isn’t a single fixed number because the environment is always in flux. Our meters are designed to show you the real, live fluctuations rather than smoothing or filtering the data to create a false sense of stability. You’ll notice this even more when measuring RF from everyday devices like Wi-Fi, which transmit data in bursts and go quiet in between. With our meters, you see what’s truly happening in real time. I’m measuring my phone or router, but I don’t see any signal — why? This is normal. Many people think devices like phones and routers are always blasting out signals, but that’s not the case. To save battery and reduce unnecessary emissions, these devices stay in a low-power “listening” mode most of the time and only transmit when they need to send or receive data. If you want to see them in action, simply get them to actively transmit — start a video or audio stream, make a phone call, or download a large file while measuring. You’ll then see exactly how much they emit when they’re really working. I’m comparing the TF2 to another meter (or a professional service), and the readings don’t match. Why? Great question — and a very common one. There are several reasons readings can differ when comparing meters. Here are some key points to keep in mind: Sensor placement matters. The most frequent reason for discrepancies is not placing the sensor in the exact same spot. Even small shifts can change the reading, especially if the EMF source is closer to one meter than the other. Even two TF2s side by side can show slight differences when a source is closer to one than the other for this reason. Frequency range differences. Another important factor is each meter’s frequency range, especially in RF mode. If two meters cover different frequency ranges, they may detect different signals. For example, if one meter measures up to 6 GHz and another stops at 5 GHz, a 5.5 GHz signal will only show up on the first meter, making it seem “more sensitive.” When comparing, always check that you’re measuring in identical locations and that the devices have similar frequency coverage. With careful setup, you’ll get the most accurate comparisons possible. Can I use the TF2 to measure signals from infrastructure like cell towers? Yes — the TF2 can measure cell tower emissions! However, there are a few important things to keep in mind Not every tower is a cell tower. Many towers in your area may be for other purposes (like AM radio), and those often operate on frequencies that the TF2 does not cover. Cell towers transmit directionally. They’re designed to send signals outward toward people and devices, not downward. Think about it — you don’t stand right under a tower every time you make a call! To measure cell tower signals effectively, it’s best to stand a little distance away where the signal is stronger. Tower traffic varies. In rural areas especially, cell towers may have minimal activity. To see active emissions, try using your phone to stream video or make a call while measuring — this prompts the tower to transmit more data. With these tips, you’ll get a much clearer picture of real-world tower emissions using your TF2!

Review: Masterpiece from AlphaLab - As an EE and having worked in a building where faulty electrical wiring resulted in wildly wobbly CRT displays, I've always had an interest in perceiving or detecting these everyday but invisible fields. The Trifield 100XE has been on my Wishlist for quite some time, but never quite reached the threshold of an order. Recently I noticed this new model TF2, and the superior specifications and display readability compelled an order. The meter arrived with battery already installed. The new case design is smart, modern and high quality. With the backlight on, the display is remarkably clear and informative. The analog display (the bars) uses a logarithmic scale to convey maximum information at a glance. The digital read-out updates several times a second, frequently enough to track a changing value but still allowing the value to be read. The peak value digital read-out significantly boosts the meter usefulness by capturing short signals that otherwise would not be reflected in the analog or digital read-out. The hold time of the peak read-out is just right. While initially checking out the meter around the house, I was amazed that holding the meter in front of a loudspeaker produced a field strength display synchronous with the music playing (should not have been amazing, of course). The TF2's extended RF frequency range allowed me to check my 5 GHz WiFi access points and note the intermittent pattern of actual transmissions. While checking my microwave, I did notice a scale gap since the leakage safety limit at two inches is 5 mw/cm^2 vs. the meter's scale limit of 1000 mw/m^2. The centimeters vs. meters difference results in factor of 10,000, so the safety limit converted to the meter's scale units is 50,000 mw/m^2, far in excess of the meter's measuring range. So it's necessary to take readings at a greater distance. Using a wooden yardstick to position the meter 36 inches away from the microwave reduces the field strength to approximately 1/320 of the value at two inches. When I performed this measurement I found that my 10-year old microwave significantly exceeds the current safety limit, so I'll need to follow up on that. *** Follow up - March 11, 2018 *** It occured to me that a microwave oven is not a point source of radiation hence the inverse square law is not accurate at room-sized distances. Then I located a paper on the NIH website entitled "Exposure assessment of microwave ovens and impact on total exposure in WLANs" which includes an adhoc formula mapping the field strength vs. distance. The so-called "path loss exponent" is a parameter in this formula. It would be 2 for the perfect inverse square law. However, for distances less than one metre, and with 275ml water in the microwave oven, the adhoc value (as listed in the paper) is only 1.20. This change in exponent means that the RF value measured at 36 inches away from the microwave reduces the field strength to just 1/32 of the value at two inches. With this change of calculation my 10-year old microwave oven is just fine for RF leakage.
Review: AWESOME MACHINE - I still have to learn how to use it. It was quite the little investment. I love it though, made in the United States runs on a single 9 V. Battery comes with a nice case and directions, works perfectly. I just need to update my knowledge base to understand it all. very happy with my purchase. I would not even consider purchasing a lesser brand or quality!!! Thank You TriField for making such a quality instrument!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this read digital RF from cellphone towers, wifi, wireless LAN, etc?**
A: The TF2 RF section is great for measuring the EMF emissions of cellphone towers, Wi-Fi and mobile phones.

When reading RF emitted by digital devices, such as mobile phones, Wi-Fi routers and smart meters, the Peak
Measurement (small numerals in the upper-left of the display) is of more interest than the
Field Measurement (large numerals at the bottom). The information from digital RF devices is
transmitted in brief packets that occur irregularly (perhaps once per minute with smart meters
and several times per second with Wi-Fi transmitters or mobile phones that are in use). The
Peak Measurement detects these packets and displays the strongest packet for several
seconds before resetting itself.

**Q: Does this pick up emf/rf at a distance, or do you have to hold it right next to the source?**
A: This meter will pick up EMF/RF at any distance, as long as the field is strong enough.

**Q: Will this pick up UHF and microwave?**
A: Thank you for your question.  This meter will detect all three types of electromagnetic pollution.; AC magnetic, AC Electric and RF/Microwave.

**Q: Will this work in India/ Europe?**
A: Yes, this meter will work anywhere in the world.  This one version will measure both 50 and 60Hz power regions.
