(3) Will radiation escape from other parts of the "Smart Meter" enclosure?
Smart meter enclosures are made of grounded metal on all sides except for the front glass (or plastic) globe. This metal enclosure acts as a RF and EMF shield and reflects the majority of radiation through the front globe. The front glass or plastic globe of a smart meter is where the majority of RF radiation is emitted (in all directions). A properly installed RF Meter Shield completes a shield around the entire smart meter (reducing radiation by over 80%). A minimal amount of RF and EMF radiation may still escapes through main feed wires to and from the meter. Since every installation is unique, after installing a RF Meter Shield, if you have concerns regarding smart meter radiation entering your home, we suggest you have your unique installation tested.
(4) What is RF Meter Shield's effective protection's life expectancy?
The RF Meter Shield's effective protection against RF and EMF Radiation will last 7-10 years enduring natures elements such as sun, rain, snow, sleet, hot temperatures and cold temperatures.
(5) Will the RF Meter Shield stay secure in strong winds?
Properly installed RF Meter Shields have been designed to stay secure in wind gusts up to 110 MPH.
(6) With the RF Meter Shield installed, will my "Smart Meter" still be able to communicate with the utility?
The RF Meter Shield does not block all of the transmitting and receiving RF signals. However, it does significantly reduce them. Low strength signals are still able to communicate with the utility.
(7) Will the RF Meter Shield fit over my "Smart Meter"?
RF Meter Shield Model: SX1000418 fits all smart meter glass covers up to a 6.5" diameter X 6.0" long (all known smart meters currently manufactured). The elastic end of the RF Meter Shield can be rolled-up to snug fit shorter glass covers. The existing metal enclosure housing the smart meter acts as a reflector, shielding everything except the glass cover which is shielded by the RF Meter Shield.
(8) Does RF Meter Shield offer volume discounts?
Yes. For retail customers (1-11) units, shipping is discounted. For wholesale customers (12 or more units) please contact us at: customerservice@RFMeterShield.com
