EM-038 derivative alternative models:
EM-038-A to EM-038-Z: These are possible derivative models, which usually differ in some non-critical features, such as fine-tuning in specific environmental adaptability, compatibility with other equipment, etc., but the basic detection principle and main performance parameters are similar to EM-038.
