HI-3624 / HI-3624A Manual Page 5 Operation The ELF magnetic field sensor must be plugged into the HI-3624 meter case for proper operation; it makes no difference whether the sensor is plugged in before or after the meter is turned on.

In the case of the Model HI-3624A, the user may select the lower frequency of the band pass for the instrument as either 30 Hz (the value incorporated in the Model HI-3624) or 5 Hz as specified in the Swedish standard for measurements of magnetic fields produced by VDTs.

Page 8 HI-3624 / HI-3624A Manual rotated within a constant field, there will be an output from the sensor at a frequency corresponding to the movement and this will usually include frequency components greater than 5 Hz. Consequently, during such movement, the meter will typically show significant upscale indications.
HI-3624 / HI-3624A Manual Page 9 Example Applications of the HI-3624/HI-3624A Power Lines Magnetic fields near power lines can be easily measured with the HI-3624. An approach commonly used to characterize power line fields is to measure the flux density along a straight line which passes perpendicular to the power line.
45 Hz and 75 Hz, depending on the particular design of the VDT. The HI-3624 is designed to properly detect these magnetic fields because of its rms detector and wide bandwidth. Two different methods for VDT magnetic field measurements have been commonly used.

The user is referred to the Swedish specifications for measurement (2) for application details. Residential Measurements Magnetic fields found in home environments are highly variable, depending on location within the home.

Measurements must take this condition into account and it is recommended that, when taking measurements in a room, the meter be watched for a period of time to observe for fluctuations in the indicated value of flux density.
