The classic LM4 has been upgraded to “version 2” with the latest battery regulator technology for consistent readings throughout the battery life. The external electrode connector is now centered on the top of the unit to improve sensing symmetry. In addition, a grounding switch has been added to better match the meter sensitivity when using the grounding cable. For 2026, we are introducing the LM5, a new sensing mode that offers improved performance in several testing situations. The LM5 offers a pure measurement of all things. The LM4 uses a high vibrational excitation with a low potential energy (HVLP). In contrast the LM5 uses a low vibrational energy with a high potential energy (LVHE). The advantage of the LM5 mode is that it rejects the unwanted effects of induction and conduction while retaining the pure life energy detection. Metallic and electrically conductive items give much more accurate readings with the LM5. In addition, structured water can now be consistently measured using the LM5 mode. The LM5D, has the best of both worlds. It contains both an LM4 and an LM5 system that can be changed with a flip of a switch. The LM4 offers excellent testing of human body, plants, liquids and many other items with the highest stability. The LM5 can see all of these things just as well and can access previously inaccessible details while still offering good stability and repeatability. The meter is provided with a built-in small flat plate electrode located under the blue square above the meter. This internal electrode may be used for measuring liquid containers and small objects by conveniently placing the test object on the center of the blue square. Humans, animals and plants may also be measured by bringing them in contact with the blue square. Alternatively, a tube electrode included in the package may also be used. Both the LM4 and LM5 have their strengths and are suitable for most situations. The table below illustrates examples where each model performs best. The LM5D (Dual mode) operates using both the LM4 and LM5 mode and covers all applications in one package. Grounding (Gnd) the Life Meter can provide advantages in some situations and is shown in the table as well.

The
meter is provided
with an internal flat plate electrode (blue square) for general purpose
use. For most
measurements, the test object may be brought up to the blue square and
a reading taken either in contact or at a fixed distance. The reading
will decrease as the object is moved further away. For consistent
readings, always place objects for comparison at exactly the same
distance or position to the electrode. For larger distances, the range
switch may be moved to a higher position to increase sensitivity. To
determine the correct range for measurement, first zero the meter on
the x1 range using the coarse and fine zero controls without any
objects near the electrode. Bring the object to the desired distance
and observe the meter deflection. If the deflection is less than 10%
repeat this procedure on the next highest range. If small differences between objects is to be
observed, set the range to x10 and set the zero to mid-scale (on the
-/+ line) while measuring the reference object. Replace with the test
object and observe the difference on the meter. Decrease or increase
the range switch to see larger or smaller energy differences.
The Life Energy Meter output jack provides an analog voltage that follows the needle movement of the meter display. An included cable can be used to connect the output signal to a computer via a data aquisition system such as our LM05AC based on the dataq system. The software package supplied with the LM05AC allows for logging and graphing the meter readings for real time viewing on a PC. The data can be recorded and viewed with the included app or converted to a spreadsheet compatible .csv file for use with Microsoft Excel or similar.
The Digital Display Meter (DDM) offers a large 4 digit easy to read display. It connects to the data port on the right side of the Life Energy Meter using the included cable. The DDM provides increased accuracy and sensitivity and is helpful when making many routine measurements or where the highest accuracy is desired. The 6ft (190cm) extension cable allows for convenient placement of the DDM display for optimal viewing. The DDM also has other useful multimeter functions such as volts, current, ohms and continuity. The DDM is portable and uses a 9 volt battery (not included).
The Large Plate Electrode is a flexible flat sheet electrode with a vinyl top and bottom protective surface. The electrode measures 15" x 20" x 0.05" (38cm x 51cm x 1mm). This electrode is ideal for whole body measurements, animal measurements or testing anything too large for the blue square electrode. The large plate electrode has a high sensitivity and allows for energy field detection up to 6ft (190cm).
The accuprobe fits directly into the external probe connector of the LM4. Its small diameter (3mm) sensing surface allows for locating and evaluating accupuncture points. Check our video page for more information.
The Plant probe was developed to make measurements of Live plant leaves less intrusive and more convenient. The electrode clamps lightly to a leaf of the desired plant and the 12 inch (30cm) lead plugs into the external probe port of the Life Energy Meter. The electrode surface is 1.5"x1.5" (40mm x 40mm) with a vinyl coating that is impervious to moisture. The plant electrode can be used for testing house plants, garden plants or outdoor trees and shrubs. .
The Earth probe was created to take measurements of soil and agricultural land so that the health of the soils could be determined. The probe can be pressed into the soil to a depth of about 5 inches (13 cm). It includes a 17" (43cm) lead that plugs into the external probe port of the Life Energy Meter. The electrode is covered with a vinyl coating that is impervious to moisture and includes a contoured handle for ease of grip. The sensing rod is about 3.5mm in diameter or just over 1/8 inch. .
These convenient 2 dram ( about 8mL) vials with caps are a convenient way to test your water and fluid samples directly on our range of small electrodes and filters. The vials are made of laboratory quality glass with polycarbonate screw tight leak proof caps.
This compact amplifying filter is designed to fit directly on the blue square electrode. The filter enhances the readings of living and energetically alive objects while reducing the readings from non-living, metalic and conductive objects. This filter provides a quality factor of 108 compared to the LM4 alone at whose quality factor is five. Not reccomended for use with the LM5. Dimensions 4.25" x 3.5" x 1.75" (11cm x 9cm x 5cm)
The Amplifying Electrode is an external flat plate electrode for use with the LM4, LM3 or LM2 models. It uses the amplifying filter technology to enhance the readings from living and energetically alive objects while reducing the readings from non-living, metalic and conductive objects. This filter provides a quality factor of 125 compared to the LM4 alone at whose quality factor is five. Dimensions 6" x 6" x 1.75" (15cm x 15cm x 5cm)
This is the standard tube external electrode provided with the LM4 package. The tube electrode is a general purpose type and can be grasped with the hand, inverted for insertion into liquids or used for ambient and environmental energy level testing. The tube electrode is sealed borosilicate glass with dimensions of 2.5" tall and 5/8" diameter (65mm tall x 17mm diameter).
A 1.5" square galvanized iron plate mounted on an attractive wood platform. This probe is designed for general purpose measurement. It is especially well suited for measuring flat objects like plant leaves, fluid sample in flat bottom vessels, the palm of the hand, fruits and vegetables etc. The sensitivity of the small plate is about the same as the tube probe.
