FSM – Field Strength Meter (IEC60118-4)
The FSM is a cost effective and simple solution for measuring, setting
up and commissioning an induction loop system to the requirements
of IEC60118-4:2006. The meter is an ergonomically designed hand
held instrument for measuring loop system performance. There are
three calibrated operational modes for the assessment of Background
Noise, Field Strength and Frequency Response as required to ensure
correct function of the loop system. The meter also doubles as a loop
listener, with a headphone output to listen to the signal in the loop.
The meter is supplied in a soft case with an audio CD with the
required test signals, and full operating instructions including a guide
to commissioning. The Ampetronic FSM can be used to monitor,
set up or commission any induction loop system regardless of the
manufacturer or type.

Features

Operational modes

• Simple assessment of any system to
IEC60118-4:2006

				

• Three modes of operation for three test types
• A weighted background noise
• Broad band mode (50Hz - 8kHz)
• Frequency response (100Hz, 1kHz, 5kHz)
• True RMS detection calibrated to
400mA/m = 0dB

Background Noise

To determine the level of the background magnetic field present in
the intended location for the loop system. Also used to measure
low level signals to assess overspill outside a loop system.
• A weighted filter
• True RMS detection referenced to 400mA/m
• Scale -42 to -12dB
• Audio (headphone) output is post filter for monitoring

• Wide viewing angle LED display
Field Strength

• Colour coded LEDs for simple readout
• Resolution to 1dB
• Head phone output with volume control
• Ergonomic, rugged, light weight construction
• Test signals supplied on CD
• Soft carry case
• 5 year warranty

Applications include:

Accurate set-up and commissioning
System monitoring and maintenance
Site surveys
Certification to IEC60118-4:2006
Assessment of frequency losses due to metal
Assessment of loop coverage and overspill
Assessment of background noise

A broad band measurement to measure field strength delivered by
the system.
• Broad band measurement 50Hz to 8kHz
• True RMS detection referenced to 400 mA/m
• Scale -22 to +8dB with 1dB intervals from -3 to +6dB
• Suitable for use with sine wave, pink noise, or
combination signals (provided), or any other real signals

  

Frequency Response

Third octave filters for measuring performance across the required
frequency spectrum as required by IEC60118-4.
Used to confirm adequate power at high frequencies as required
for good intelligibility. Used to assess frequency dependent loss
due to metal structures, and to optimise frequency compensation.
• Third octave bands at 100Hz, 1kHz and 5kHz
• True RMS detection
• Scale resolution to 1dB
• For use with pink noise only (signal provided)
• Audio (headphone) output is post filter

Commissioning Procedure
The FSM allows a complete test of an induction loop system to be performed with a simple six or seven step procedure as
shown in the table below. Using the FSM with the CD of test signals (included), all aspects of an installation can be examined
and adjusted to meet the requirements. A Certificate of Conformity (template included) is provided to record test results from this
procedure, and to certify that the installation meets the requirements of IEC 60118-4:2006.
