Page 3: About This Manual
3. Introduction to the Mag648 & Mag649 Series Both the Mag648 and Mag649 are magnetometers consisting of a cluster of three, feedback stabilised, fluxgate sensors arranged along X, Y and Z axes. Each axis provides a highly linear magnetic response, with low hysteresis and low crosstalk between axes. -
Page 4: Vector Measurements And Conventions
BARTINGTON INSTRUMENTS The Mag649 offers a wider bandwidth than the standard Mag648. High stability circuitry ensures that a minimum of ten years’ service should be expected. 3.1. Vector Measurements and Conventions Each magnetometer produces three independent analogue output voltages in response to the magnitude and direction of the orthogonal components of a magnetic field. -

The point of each vector arrow indicates the positive direction of each axis. 4. Installing the Mag648 or Mag649 4.1. Siting the Magnetometer (Environment Recommendations) Note: Site the magnetometer several metres from any magnetic base rock to avoid compromising measurements. -
Page 6: Pre-Installation Tests
Caution: Ensure the polarity is correct. Incorrect polarity is likely to irreparably damage the sensor. Note: Bartington recommends the use of a current-limited power supply. 3. Connect the magnetometer to the cable connector. 4. Connect the power supply to the other cable connector. -
Page 7: Mounting Recommendations
Note: Other versions of the Mag648 and Mag649 have plug-in type connectors. The sensor can also mounted on the Bartington Instruments Mag-TA Universal Tripod Adaptor. See brochure DS3140, available from Bartington Instruments, for instructions on how to do this. 4.5. Post Installation Testing 1. -

5. Using the Mag648 and Mag649 5.1. Magnetic Hysteresis Both the Mag648 and Mag649 are designed to have an extremely low magnetic hysteresis. However, Bartington Instruments recommends your magnetometer is not subjected to magnetic fields greater than their stated measuring range for extended periods as this could alter the DC offset. -
Page 9: Care And Maintenance
7.1. Cleaning Mag648 and Mag649 Magnetometers Use water and mild soap to remove grime only on packaged versions of the magnetometers. Caution: Never use chemicals, such as solvents, when cleaning a Mag648 or Mag649. Caution: Take particular care when cleaning around electrical connections. Bent or damaged pins may cause the magnetometer to malfunction. -
