EMF Meter Model TF2 – Made in USA - #1 Handheld EMF Detector for Magnetic/Electric/Radio Fields with Unlimited Free Support in The U.S. to Help Solve Your EMF Problems

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.

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!

This thing comes loaded with the batteries. All you do is pull the tab. Don’t have to read 1 million directions. Just wanted to learn about things in my house that might be admitting dangerous things from my health! I hate putting things together and reading directions this I literally pulled the tab and went to work

Although the TriField has 2 annoying design flaws (you can’t adjust the volume and the volume and adjustable light buttons are inside the battery compartment) it’s still a safe and excellent choice. It’s easy to operate, it measures 3 of the 4 most important frequencies (hard to find in one meter!), it’s light weight, comparatively small and it’s the most affordable one with these features. Im extremely sensitive to ElectroMagnetic Frequencies/Radiation so, having a meter is such an Important first step in feeling better AND being proactive with your health. I take it everywhere with me because EMR affects my sleep, mood, energy and health. There’s a sense of comfort having the meter in hand. Customer service 10 star ⭐️ Customer SERVICE: 10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I worked with Kristina at AlphaLab. and she was great. Foremost, she acknowledged a couple of design flaws with out getting defensive. She said AlphaLab is making note of customer feedback to make improvements for future models. This is professional and logical; why waste time defending things if everybody knows here’s a problem with them. In addition to being honest, they followed through on everything they said...and quickly. She stayed on top of things and was never out of touch more than 2 days. She took the initiative when it came to a technical issue and sent out a replacement meter before I asked. Then, even after the replacement worked perfectly, they still offered a full refund because the design inconveniences! That’s impressive and definitely uncommon. I think this shows integrity. The communication was easy and honest. Offering me the refund reassured me so much, it helped me decide I wanted to keep the meter . I wish more companies and service reps were like them....outstanding!

I bought this Trifield meter because it came highly recommended by several social media sources. I've wanted one for a few years and just made the decision to buy it. All, I can say is, "Wow! What an eye opener!". It's like having a new set of eyes, seeing things you couldn't see before! I measured around my work table. There was a lot of RFs coming out of laptop but you had to get really close to the screen or keyboard. At normal viewing distance, the levels were "safe" (0.20 mW/m**2) according to their documentation. Of course, you need your hands to be close to the keyboard to type but that can't be avoided. My router surprisingly had very low RFs coming out of it but I had always adjusted the router to put out 25% output power in it's settings. No need to blast my wifi to my neighbors. What really surprised me, was my table lamp was putting out massive RFs! It was well above the normal safe levels if you're close to it. I normally have it about 2 feet away from me which brings the RF level down to safe. But sometimes, I bring the lamp close my head when trying to read small writing. What's also very surprising is the amount of "unsafe" RFs coming into my bedroom window! I did similar readings from other windows and they are at "safe" levels. It's only "unsafe" from the one side of the house where my bedroom is located! As suggested in the documentation, I put up some aluminum foil on the bedroom window and that dramatically reduce the RFs coming in. I should mention with the meter, I could tell the bedroom wall was also blocking some of the RFs but the foil was more effective! That was interesting to know. The meter itself is sturdy and well built. It comes with its own case. There's a pamphlet and fast startup card as documentation. People complain about the backlighting and sound toggle buttons being in the battery compartment but it doesn't bother me at all. I have the backlighting always ON and don't use the sound. I don't have the battery popping out problem. Maybe it's because I bought it new. I've read conflicting reviews, 5 stars and 1 star, from people who say they are electrical engineers. Some say this meter is good and others say it's junk. It's hard to judge who is right. This is my first EMF meter. For my purposes, it works well. Using my "new eyes" analogy previously mentioned, I just need to detect an unseen light is there and that it's strong enough to hurt me. I don't need to know the exact details of the light. I need to know how I can weaken that light and be able to detect it's now weaker and at safe levels.

I really like this meter. Seems to be very accurate. One thing that would be great if they would add would be some kind of an ability to look at history. RF frequencies are very difficult to kind of track down and they come and they go. One thing that this does, it tells you the peak and then it also tells you the average, which is very helpful. But when when the levels change so much it can be a little overwhelming to get a handle on it so that’s why I suggest some kind of a history where you could look at maybe a period of several minutes and take the average over that timeframe. Download it and analyze it. But other than that, the device is great. One other thing I would suggest to the company is that they add some kind of a handle or a grip to the to the meter because it’s a little slippery and I have to be careful that I don’t drop it. There’s a few other minor things but overall I think it’s a great meter.

Meter works as described. Had to take readings several times to get used to how it works.

I bought this RF meter after watching some Youtube videos about RF radiation. I decided to get this meter and experiment for myself to see what causes and what mitigates radiation. Once I received it, I compared all different devices throughout my house and was amazed at what I found. Here are some of my discoveries: - Wifi signals are usually around 50 when measured at the source. - Cellular data signals are routinely maxing out the meter at over 1,000,000, so stick to wifi as much as you can! - Cellular data signals are stronger than our microwave oven turned on high! Not only does this remind me to use my data less and keep the phone away from my head, but it also puts my mind at ease about using my microwave oven! You could hold your head up against the microwave with it turned all day long, and be no worse off than anyone using their phone all day. - I put several extra layers of drywall on my office wall, and it blocks about 100% of RF radiation. - Smart meters are REALLY bad for you. They are maxing out the meter from several feet away! - A cheap metal waste basket can be used as a Faraday cage for all of your electronic devices, and will block about 90-95% of radiation from going in or out, even from the smart meter that is on the other side of this wall. - Signal strength decreases dramatically with distance, about a factor of 10 every 2-3 inches at first. So just putting your phone on speaker and holding it two feet away from your head while you talk will decrease the radiation you are receiving to basically zero. - There are REALLY high signals at every street corner. I can't tell exactly how strong because I think the signal is coming from high up somewhere, but assuming it's 10 or 20 feet up, and based on the signals decreasing by the inverse square of the distance, it would have to be millions or billions of times stronger than the smart meter. I guess this is either cellular stations or smart meter stations. All four houses around our street corner have had people die of cancer in them just since I moved onto this block. I think just the peace of mind that this device will give you makes it worth buying. For example, I will no longer have to second-guess my decision to use a microwave oven when other friends or neighbors are too paranoid to use them. And now I don't have to worry about giving myself brain cancer every night while I sleep with my phone under my pillow; instead I just turn off cellular data, and set my phone on my night-stand a few feet from my head when I go to sleep. I can still reach it whenever I want, but I know it's having practically no impact on my health now.
