Three-Axis RF Field Meter for 10 MHz to 8 GHz

The TM-196 measures radio-frequency electromagnetic field strength across a 10 MHz to 8 GHz span using a triple-axis sensor. It covers measurement ranges from 38 mV/m to 11 V/m and displays readings in units such as V/m, µW/cm² and mW/m². The 4½-digit LCD shows a maximum count of 19999 with resolutions down to 0.1 mV/m and 0.001 µW/cm². Professionals use it for transmitter checks, Wi-Fi surveys and microwave leakage detection.

Verify power source and measurement units before

The meter operates on a 9 V battery that is not included in the package. Confirm that the display units — mV/m, V/m, µA/m, mA/m, µW/m², mW/m² or µW/cm² — match the reporting requirements of your site survey or compliance checklist. The manual data memory stores maximum and average values, so ensure the recording method suits your documentation workflow. No computer interface or logging cable is supplied with the unit.

Typical thermal and power profile in daily use

As a battery-powered handheld instrument the TM-196 generates negligible heat during normal operation and runs silently without fans. Current draw is low enough for extended survey sessions on a single 9 V cell. The housing remains at ambient temperature while measuring fields up to 11 V/m across the full 10 MHz to 8 GHz range. Accuracy is specified at ±1 dB at 2.45 GHz, so thermal drift does not affect stated performance in typical environments.

Questions about this item

What does the TM-196 include and what must I buy separately?

The TM-196 is sold as a single unit in a box with a three-year parts and one-year labour warranty. No cables, probes, batteries or carry case are listed, so plan to source power and any mounting accessories yourself.

Which measurement range on the TM-196 suits my RF survey work?

The meter covers 38 mV/m to 11 V/m across 10 MHz to 8 GHz with ±1 dB accuracy at 2.45 GHz. Choose this range when you need to characterise fields from low-level ambient sources up to strong transmitter near-fields in a single instrument.

What does the 19999-count display mean for daily readings?

The 4½-digit LCD shows up to 19999 counts, giving 0.1 mV/m resolution at the low end and 0.01 V/m higher up, so small field changes remain visible without ranging delays during compliance or leakage checks.
