What detector is best for me?
For most people, the best detector to start with is the Safe and Sound Pro II if you want to measure wireless radiation like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, mobile signals and smart devices. If your concern is house wiring, plug sockets or appliance-related electric and magnetic fields, a low-frequency meter such as the Safe and Sound EM3 or Gigahertz ME3030B is the better choice. For professional surveying, Gigahertz detectors are the stronger option, while MVG detectors are best suited to occupational use near antennas and high-power RF sites
What does an EMF detector actually measure?
Different detectors measure different things. Depending on the model, a meter may measure RF signals, electric fields, magnetic fields, dirty electricity, or a mix of these.
Do I need a detector before buying shielding products?
Not always, but measuring first is often the most practical starting point. It helps you see what type of field is present and whether shielding, grounding, relocation or another change makes more sense.
What is the difference between RF, electric and magnetic fields?
RF is typically linked to wireless signals such as phones, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Electric and magnetic fields are more commonly associated with wiring, appliances and power sources.
Are detector tools suitable for home use?
Yes. Many detector products are used by homeowners to check bedrooms, desks, living spaces, routers, appliances and other high-use areas.
Can detector tools also be used professionally?
Yes. More advanced analysers are commonly used for workplace surveys, consultant work and more detailed investigations.
Why do readings change as I move around a room?
Exposure can vary depending on distance, signal source, nearby wiring, appliances, wall placement and how the environment is set up.
Can a meter help me compare changes I make?
Yes. One of the main benefits of a detector is checking readings before and after changing your setup, such as moving devices, turning equipment off, or adding shielding.
Are all EMF meters the same?
No. They vary by sensitivity, frequency range, ease of use, speed of reading and what types of fields they are designed to detect.
What should I test first?
Most people start with the places they spend the most time: bed area, desk, sofa, router location, fuse board area and devices used close to the body.
