Which switch? - Recommendation:

"I highly recommend the EMFSafeSwitch product as a safe and convenient way to protect yourself from electric fields. 

These switches are built in a 508A UL listed industrial panel manufacturing shop in  America and come in an enclosure ready to install."

• There are a few decisions and a couple of possible approaches in creating your EMF mitigated sleep sanctuary.

• Two basic approaches are outlined below.

• In both approaches, the body voltage kit (BVK) is used to confirm adequate mitigation. Some experts prefer the use of an oscilloscope, which is more accurate but also very much more expensive and impractical for the average person to use themselves.

• Choose: “SP” (standard power), “NP” (neutral and power), “HP” (high power 240VAC) and/or “MP” (manual power) Like with most things in life there are different schools of thought with EMF mitigation. Turning off the power only, works for many people (our SP Switch), however, there are those that want the neutral and power turned off for maximum effect (our NP Switch). This helps reduce electrical artifacts (dirty electricity) and “cleans” up the ground. If you are earthing and using the house ground we recommend the NP Switch for a safer (cleaner) ground connection. For 240VAC circuits more high powered relays are required (our HP Switch) which only work in conjunction with an SP or NP. Sometimes remote control is not required and/or circuits are used occasionally or seasonally and a safe MANUAL option is called for (our MP Switch) . The MANUAL MP switch may  also be an option in a small house or for those on a tight budget. If you live in a country with single pole 240VAC electrical service like the UK, Europe, etc. you need our ISP (International Single Pole) switch.

• Body Voltage Testing: In both approaches, the body voltage testing method is always used to identify circuits in the room being mitigated and to confirm that mitigation has been successful.  You will want your body voltage measurements to be less than 100 mV (milli-volts) for nighttime mitigation.  See our PDF for more information on this.  The testing process is necessary as wiring layout cannot be assumed to exactly match room layout and unidentified circuits may transit a room’s walls on the way to a remote area or appliance.  The body voltage testing process is not difficult and we have outlined that process in a PDF.  We sell the BVK (body voltage kit) for this process at our store.

• High Power 240VAC:  If you have the need to disable power to a 240VAC electric dryer, stove, water heater or other high voltage appliance/device, you will need to add a “HP” switch. 

• Control strategy: All “SP” and “NP” units can be controlled by either the remote FOB or a hardwired switch. The RF remote FOB is an energy source much like a garage door opener (momentary pulse). As with the zoning option, the method of control is determined by a simple slide of a switch in the unit.  Units com with 2 remote FOBs. The “MP” MANUAL EMFSafeSwitch is operated at the unit.  

• A word about Essentials:  In reality, the only true essential would be life support equipment for a family member, medical equipment, security system. Refrigerators (with adequate seals) remain very cold overnight; smoke alarms and many things are available in battery powered versions. Most people leave heating and cooling on and typically the power to those systems is isolated from the sleeping areas.
