- Description
- The Field Probe is a handheld broadband, isotropic electric field sensor designed for Radio Frequency and telecommunications applications. It measures electric fields over a frequency range of 3 MHz to 18 GHz, with a measurement range of 0.6 to 800 V/m and a dynamic range of 62.5 DB. The probe uses three orthogonally arranged dipoles with detector diodes. The Broadband Field Meter provides battery power to the probe, calculates the resulting isotropic field strength, and displays measurement results. The meter is primarily designed as a broadband electromagnetic field (EMF) measurement device. Its main function is to record the signal detected by the connected probe, making it ideal for comprehensive field measurements. Operated via a weatherproof foil keypad with just four buttons and a perceptible click point, the meter features a backlit monochrome Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) with selectable illumination time, ensuring readings are easy to view even in bright daylight. The meter is housed in a plastic casing. The probe head is made from foam to protect the sensors while maintaining suitable (RF) characteristics. The probe measures approximately 318 mm in length with a 66 mm diameter and weighs 90 g. The probe and meter are supplied as separate components in a protective carrying case in a disassembled state and must be connected on site to form a complete operational measurement system.

- Justification
- Classification has been determined in accordance with the following: For the purposes of determining the commodity codes within which goods most appropriately fall, Reg 3 (1) of The Customs Tariff (Establishment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 sets out that the rules of interpretation contained in the following have effect – a. Part Two (Goods Classification Table Rules of Interpretation) of the Tariff of the United Kingdom (Reg 3(1)(a); and b. Notes to a section or chapter of the Goods Classification Table (Reg 3(1)(b)) GIR 1 has been used to classify this product by the terms of heading 9030 - Oscilloscopes, spectrum analysers and other instruments and apparatus for measuring or checking electrical quantities, excluding meters of heading 9028; instruments and apparatus for measuring or detecting alpha, beta, gamma, x-ray, cosmic or other ionising radiation GIR 6 has been used to classify the goods to subheading level 903040- Other instruments and apparatus, specially designed for telecommunications (for example, cross-talk meters, gain measuring instruments, distortion factor meters, psophometers) Also classified in accordance with: Harmonized System Explanatory Notes (HSEN) to heading 9030
