Is this Solar EMP proof?

Everything is emp proof if it is in a faraday cage. Otherwise any electronic will be destroyed. (Including this)

I know of no radio that is solar EMP proof. By it very nature Solar EMP scrambles the earths magnatism and so scrambles the radio frequenciy.

No piece of equipment that is electronic in nature is "EMP Proof". The best way to achieve this is to shield the radio in a faraday cage or electronic shielding antistatic bag.

No... It's Class II protection of electric shock. Is not subject to any limited power characteristic. It defines, that all touchable parts of equipment areisolated by double or reinforced insulation.

Hell no. I would not trust it at all. I had 2 of them blow fuses and melt on me. They get hot as hell. There are better ones out there. DO NOT BUY!

Yes, it is photovoltaic, which means charged by light, not just sun. I have actually witnessed a solar panel show as charging during a lightning storm.

I don't know if it's X-ray proof, but I have never had a problem with mine at the TSA security checkpoint. I usually have one in my camera and two backups in my bag. They have gone through the machine without losing and data on several trips to Texas and Colorado.

There is different opinions about whether non hardwire electronics would suffer during an emp, both by people that presume to know. This radio, as well as any small electronics is at risk, but could be put in a metal ammo can that had been lined with cardboard or foam (top ,bottom and sides) creating a Faraday cage. The emp charge goes around the box, but the contents are insulated and protected. The Scorpion is a excellent emergency radio - light with 3 sources of powering it. Solar, crank, and with a plug in charger that is sold separate. The crank is not made for kids to play with. It doesn't have to be cranked fast to charge up. It has a clutch like mechanism in it that pops out if cranked to fast. Normal to slow cranking resets it. When it pops out, it makes a person think someting broke, but its not. It needs cranked in a way that doesn't put unecessary twist on the crank handle itself or it can break. I have had mine several years and purchased a couple for a homeless person. I would not hesitate to get another one. The enclosed battery packs are replaceable but I have not had to as of yet. Even with prolonged periods of going dead in the dark from being unused.

We bought ours as a backup for our solar and have not had to use it yet. Ours is under the eaves of the shed that houses our solar batteries. We suggest that you speak to the tech. dept at Generac.

I didn't take the plastic cover off the top of the solar panel but its outside at all times not under covering and it works fine. I would say its very weatherproof.

if you are asking if the cable is shielded, yes it is. it has a durable exterior that resists abrasion and a foil shielding for EM. it does not appear to be UV protected so it may not be used in unfiltered sunlight.

doug: first of all, you need to make sure your laptop and all electronic equipment is in a farraday cage wtshtf or anything with a battery will be fried if there is an emp. so, google "farraday cage", get one, and keep all important electronics in it when not charging or using them. actually, your marine or other solar batteries, will also fry in the event of an "emp" (electro magnetic pulse). so, you might also want to store your batteries for solar elec storage in a kind of farraday cage, too. just a thought.

Yes it can, but I suspect the small Gauss Meter (Ghost Detector) cannot register the actual strength of the E/M waves. The ghost detector is sensitive to very light magnetic anomolies and is no substitute for industrial meters. If you only want to know if you microwave is leaking I don't think it will work because the extreme power within the microwave would cancel it out. Good Luck anyway

It appears to be so. Don't see any reason why it would not be able to be exposed. We have been very happy with the system.

Yes, but you might want to also include EMP bags.. check into those as well..

Well basicly if you keep it away from water while using it yes of course its safe from EMF exposure.

No...its totally a bug zapped with a black light that I assume is to attract them more effectively. Not solar at all...electrical.

Don't know...but I'm very satisfied with this product. Its robust and takes solar charging well.

No, I'm afraid it's not. The wires and workings are pretty well shielded (I accidentally spiled a cup of water on mine and none of it got in there) but not well enough for exterior use.
