INTRODUCTION This manual describes the operation of the Mag-03 range of three axis magnetic field sensors. These compact high performance sensors with integral electronics provide measurements of static and alternating magnetic fields in three axes. The sensors, alternatively described as magnetometers, convert magnetic flux density, measured in three axes, into a bipolar analog voltage.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION This section describes the features common to the Mag-03 range of sensors. Where there are exceptions they are described under Section 3 detailing the different types of enclosures. Three fluxgate sensing elements are mounted orthogonally at one end of an enclosure which also contains the electronic circuitry.
Mag-03MS - Figure 4 This square section enclosure is manufactured from reinforced epoxy and the sensing elements are mounted with reference to the base which acts as a datum face. The Z axis is aligned to this reference face to an accuracy of 0.1°. The orthogonality error between the magnetic axes is also 0.1°...
3.10 Mag-03MCUP - Figure 10 This arrangement is an “unpackaged” version. The sensing elements are encapsulated in a cylindrical enclosure but the electronics printed circuit board is simply coated in silicone rubber and not protected by an enclosure. Two four-way ribbon cables, with a standard length of 140mm but available in lengths to 500mm, connect the sensing elements to the electronics board.
Mag-03MS-CU CALIBRATION UNIT The Mag-03MS-CU is a battery powered unit similar to the Mag-03MC-CU above but for calibration of the Mag-03MS sensors which have a square section. Contact Bartington Instruments for full details. CABLES Cables are available for connection of the three axis range of sensors to the Mag-03PSU, Mag-03DAM or Mag-03SCU.
supplied. A thin gasket or a suitable sealant should be used to seal the base of the units against water penetration. The absolute maximum screw penetration depth within the body is 16 mm and this must not be exceeded. Mag-03MSS The Mag-03MSS has a square section pressure housing with three mounting holes, 4 mm in diameter, drilled through the body and counterbored for cheese-headed screws.
saturation point. The output will remain at the saturation level if the field is increased beyond this point. Asymmetric supplies may be used provided that the minimum and maximum voltages are not exceeded for either polarity. SIGNAL/POWER GROUND The two signal/power ground conductors are connected to a common point within the sensor and the power supply common (power 0 V) should be connected to only one of them.
CABLING It is recommended that the connecting cable to the sensor is a six core screened cable. Two cores will be used for positive and negative power supply lines, three cores for output signals and one core for signal common. The power supply ground should be connected via the screen which can be expected to have a low resistance.
FREQUENCY RESPONSE The typical amplitude and phase response for the Mag-03 range of sensors is shown in Figure 19. The sensors provide a bandwidth of 3kHz with a maximally flat response to 1kHz. NOISE A typical noise plot for the standard version is shown in Figure 20 and for the low noise version in Figure 21.
The output from all fluxgate sensors will contain noise from the driving electronics. For the Mag-03 range this noise is at 15kHz which is well above the bandwidth of the sensors. Where low noise operation is required a filter should always be provided to reject the noise which lies outside the band of interest.
10.2 MEASUREMENT UNITS Since 1960 the SI (Systeme Internationale) which is derived from the MKS metric measurement system has been universally adopted. However, measurements are still frequently expressed in the older CGS units. For clarity the following relationships may be useful.
10.4 VECTOR MEASUREMENTS Each axis produces an analog output Va in response to flux density B in the relationship: Va = B cos ∅ where ∅ is the angle between the flux direction and the direction of the individual sensing element.
