What the TriField TF2 EMF Meter Can Measure

Updated

The TriField TF2 measures three types of electromagnetic fields: magnetic, electric, and radio (RF). You select which field to measure by turning a knob, and the reading appears on a backlit display. It ships ready to use with a 9V battery and carries a one-year warranty. If you need to locate EMF sources across all three field types with a single handheld meter, the TF2 is built for that task.

The three fields it detects

The meter covers what the manufacturer describes as "complete and accurate EMF field detection in three fields":

Field type What it covers
Magnetic Magnetic fields, measured in the standard and weighted modes
Electric Electric fields
Radio (RF) Full-spectrum RF measurement

Because all three are handled by one device, you don't need separate instruments to check a room, appliance, or wiring for different kinds of EMF.

How you take a measurement

  1. Turn the knob to the field you want to measure (magnetic, electric, or radio).
  2. Read the value on the display. A backlight button keeps the screen legible in low light.
  3. Switch between Standard and Weighted modes depending on what you're assessing — both modes are included.

The manufacturer emphasizes that pinpointing EMF sources is "easier than ever," and the single-knob selection is the main reason: there's no menu navigation between field types.

What's in the box and what's covered

  • The TF2 is ready to use out of the box, complete with a 9V battery.
  • It includes a full one-year warranty with technical support available online or by phone.
  • It is manufactured in the USA by AlphaLab, Inc., the makers of the original TriField Meter Model 100XE.

Who this fits

The TF2 suits someone who wants one meter that answers "is there EMF here, and what kind?" across magnetic, electric, and RF fields — for example, checking a bedroom, an appliance, or wiring for all three at once. If you only ever need one field type, a single-purpose meter may be enough; the TF2's value is in covering all three without switching devices.
