 in a specific way in order to provide a correct reading.
 Frequency response:
 Flat response: units that have a flat response for all the frequency range covered, i.e. the response does not change with frequency.
 Shaped response: contain frequency dependent sensors that automatically weight the detected RF fields in accordance with frequency-dependent RF exposure limits.

It is common that RF personal monitors provide results as a percentage (%) of frequency-dependent limit values of a specific standard (sometimes called reference levels or MPE, maximum permissible exposure). It is important to be careful interpreting exposure during an alarm condition based on a % result; shaped response RF personal monitors will provide a result as a % of the standard, independently of the frequency, while flat response monitors will provide a result as a % of a particular value (not frequency-dependent), so it is important to know which is the particular value this % is referring to.

Some RF personal monitors have different versions, shaped to each standard, so they will be more accurate, but can be used only for that standard. Others have a single version, so will be less accurate, but can be used for different standards.

Usually, the alarm of most RF personal monitors is triggered by instant values, however, standard limits are specified as time-averaged values. Some RF monitors have the possibility to trigger alarms based on average values, which is a better indication of the real exposure situation (as an example, an instant value can be at 200% while the average being below 100%).

As they are typically small, portable units, they are usually equipped with only a few LEDs for a rough field level indication (50%, 100%, etc). Nevertheless, some of them have a datalogger that allows to download the measurements, check for the exact values, and keep a history record of the exposures. Wavecontrol’s WaveMon has available a GPS and altimeter to include position information to the data records.

Other specifications that may be relevant, depending on the application are battery characteristics (lifetime, ways to change or recharge), dimensions, weight, and operating temperature.

The following table shows different basic specifications of some RF monitors:

Operating instructions
Each specific personal RF safety monitor has its own operating instructions. And most of the monitors have different operating modes. For instance, the Narda Radman has a mode in which it can be body worn by the operator, but it also has a probe mode where the operator can scan certain areas to
in a specific way in order to provide a correct interpretation. 
  Frequency reception: 
  Flat response: units that own a flat response for all the frequency stove cover, i.e. the response does not switch with frequency. 
  Shaped response: check frequency dependent sensors that mechanically weight the detected RF fields in accordance with frequency - dependent RF exposure limits. 

 It is coarse that RF personal monitors provide results as a share (%) of frequency - dependent limit value of a specific standard (sometimes call reference levels or MPE, maximum permissible exposure). It is important to be careful interpretation exposure during an alarm condition based on a% result; shaped reception RF personal monitors will provide a result as a% of the standard, independently of the frequency, while flat response monitors will provide a result as a% of a particular value (not frequency - pendent), so it is important to know which is the finical value this% is refer to. 

 Some RF personal monitors have different version, shape to each standard, so they will be more accurate, but can be used merely for that standard. Others have a single version, so will be less accurate, but can be used for unlike standards. 

 Usually, the alarm of most RF personal monitors is triggered by instant values, however, standard limit are specified as time - averaged values. Some RF monitors accept the possibility to trigger alarms free-base on average values, which is a better indication of the substantial exposure situation (as an model, an instant value can be at 200% while the modal being below 100 %). 

 As they are typically small, portable unit, they are usually equip with only a few LEDs for a rough field level reading (50% , 100% , etc). Nevertheless, some of them have a datalogger that allows to download the measurement, check for the exact values, and keep a history criminal record of the exposure. Wavecontrol ’s WaveMon has available a GPS and altimeter to include military position information to the data records.
