The field strength meter VX0100 from Metrix is a digital measuring device for testing exposure to electromagnetic fields in homes and offices. The device, also referred to as BIOTEST, is used for detecting electrosmog, particularly low-frequency electric fields generated by electrical distribution networks and connected devices. It is compact, user-friendly, and features a backlit LCD display with 2,000 pixels, clearly and legibly showing measurement values. Measurements are performed in accordance with current and future standards and guidelines, making the device suitable for testing electrical installations during new installations or renovations, as well as for technical and vocational training.

Applications
The VX0100 is primarily used in the field of electromagnetic field measurement to assess exposure to low-frequency electric fields. It is especially useful in residential and office environments where there is a high density of electrical systems and devices. Applications include testing electrical installations, identifying field sources, and evaluating exposure from connected devices. Additionally, the device can be used during renovation work to locate buried cables.

Functions and Equipment in Detail
The device features two complementary measurement methods: a person-related method, where field measurement takes into account the presence of a person, and a traditional method, where fields are measured relative to the ground. This duality enables a more comprehensive analysis of the electromagnetic environment. The external antenna allows not only field measurement but also cable localization, which is advantageous during renovation work. Measurement of electromagnetic fields caused by connected devices is performed quickly and accurately.

Technology Explained Simply
The VX0100 measures low-frequency electric fields up to a frequency of 100 kHz. Measurement values are displayed on the LCD display with 2,000 pixels, with backlighting ensuring good readability even in poorly lit rooms. The external antenna extends the device’s functionality by enabling simultaneous field measurement and cable location. Measurements are performed in accordance with applicable standards, ensuring the reliability of results.

Compatibility and Accessories
The device is supplied with a socket tester, enabling testing of sockets and their electrical properties. As suitable accessories, a transport case with belt attachment is offered, allowing safe and mobile transport of the device. The combination of field strength meter and socket tester provides a comprehensive solution for testing electrical installations.

Installation and Mounting
Installation of the VX0100 requires no special mounting work. The device is operated directly by hand, with the external antenna connected to perform field measurement and cable location. Operation is via simple buttons, allowing selection of the measurement method and display of values. Use is independent of fixed mounting and is flexible depending on the application site.

Operational Advantages
The VX0100 offers fast and precise measurement of electromagnetic fields, enabling efficient testing of installations and devices. The combination of two measurement methods allows for detailed analysis of the environment. The external antenna extends functionality by enabling cable location, which is particularly useful during renovation work. The display’s backlight ensures good readability under various lighting conditions. The device is compact and easy to handle, increasing mobility during use.
