Guest guest Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 How did they get away w overexposing limits to start? These pulse 24/7. From the sage Report Smat meters & cell phones exposure standards were done for 6 & 30 mins! RF up to1500 MHz were approved as IF they were 300 GHz. In the frequency range from 100 MHz to 1500 MHz, exposure limits for field strength and power density are also generally based on the MPE limits found in Section 4.1 of “IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz,†ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 ( IEEE, 1992, and approved for use as an American National Standard by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).

Source: FCC Bulletin OET 65 Guidelines, page 67 OET, 1997. In this report, the public safety limit for a smart meter is a combination of the individual antenna frequency limits and how much power output they create. A smart meter contains two antennas. One transmits at 915 MHz and the other at 2405 MHz. They can transmit at the same time, and so their effective radiated power is summed in the calculations of RF power density. Their combined limit is 655 uW/cm2. For the collector meter, with it’s three internal antennas, the combined public safety limit for time-averaged exposure is 571 MHz (a more restrictive level since it includes an additional 824 MHz antenna that has a lower limit than either the 915 MHz or the 2405 MHz antennas). In a collector meter, only two of the three antennas can transmit simultaneously (the 915 MHz LAN and the GSM 850 MHz (from the FCC Certification Exhibit titled RF Exposure Report for FCC ID: SK9AMI-2A). The proportionate power output of each antenna plus the safety limit for each antenna frequency combines to give a safety limit for the collector meter of 571 uW/cm2. Where one collector meter is combined with multiple smart meters, the combined limit is weighted upward by the additional smart meters’ contribution, and is 624 uW/cm2.

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 http://sagereports.com/smart-meter-rf/?page_id=216 Reflections can significantly increase localized RF levels. Hondou et al (2006) establishes that power densities 1000 times to 2000 times higher than the power density predictions from computer modeling (that does not account properly for reflections) can be found in daily living situations. The RF hot spots created by reflection can significantly increase RF exposures to the public, even above current public safety limits. No one was wanred this would do this kind of damage. “In the case of the eyes and testes, direct relaxation of power density limits is not permitted.â€(p. 30) This leaves unanswered what instantaneous peak power is permissible from smart meters. The level must be below 4000 uW/cm2. This report shows clearly that smart meters can create instantaneous peak power exposures where the face (eyes) and body (testes) are going to be in close proximity to smart meter RF pulses. RF levels at and above 4000 uW/cm2 are likely to occur if a person puts their face close to the smart meter to read data in real time.
