Microwave radiation is odourless and invisible, but by no means harmless.
The BR15 is designed to detect microwave emissions from all high frequency appliances which operate in the 2.45 GHz ISM band.
And there are quite a few:
microwave ovens in households, various mobile networks, cordless video transfer systems, WLAN, Bluetooth, some radio transmitters, remote controls or cordless DECT telephones.
Whether it is a leaking microwave oven, or radiation coming from a WLAN router, mobile phone or a transmitter mast – the BR15 is able to detect the harmful source reliably and depict the digital indicator value as a clearly readable figure on the display.
If the detected value is above the ICNIRP maximum permissible value of 5 mW/cm², then the BR15 warns the user automatically by means of an acoustic alarm warning tone and an additional optical warning on the display.
