  • Page 3: About This Manual

    Analogue output voltages Vx, Vy and Vz vary linearly with magnetic flux density. The Mag-13 series are an evolution of the Mag-03 range of sensors and feature a number of improvements. These include improved orthogonality error of the sensing coils, and an inbuilt test coil and temperature sensor.

    6. Compatible Power Supply and Data Acquisition Units A number of other Bartington Instruments products will work with the Mag-13 as power supply and/or data acquisition units. These are listed in the product brochure and can be found at www.

    Although the Mag-13 is singled-ended, the cable connecting it to the power supply has a signal ground for each axis. The configuration of the cable pin out for the Mag-13 on the power supply side will require the power supply/signal conditioning unit to be set to the balanced mode to operate the Mag-13 correctly.

    The method of mounting will depend on the application and the enclosure. For details of the mounting arrangements for each sensor, refer to the product brochure and the relevant outline drawing on the Mag-13 product page. Note: The use of magnetic materials in the mounting arrangement must be avoided. Check...

    Note: Adequate performance of the sensor cannot be guaranteed if used with non- Bartington Instruments products. Bartington Instruments cannot advise on the operation of third party products. See the product brochure for nominal current requirements. There is an additional current in proportion to the measured field, which is drawn from the positive or negative supply depending on the direction of the field.

    Mag-13 outline wiring diagram 9.5. Test Coil The Mag-13 features a test coil which applies a magnetic field to all axes when activated. The corresponding changes in X, Y and Z output voltages confirm that all axes of the sensor are operational.

    Note: Do not place the sensor near to any equipment which may be affected by the very small local field produced by the sensor excitation. 10. Performance For detailed figures on the performance of the Mag-13 range of sensors, refer to the product brochure. 10.1. Noise The Mag-13 range includes different noise versions that are specified in the product brochure.
  • Page 10: Excitation Frequency

    All Bartington Instruments power supply and signal conditioning units have a filter to remove the breakthrough. Note: When using a non-Bartington Instruments power supply, it will be necessary to provide a filter to remove the breakthrough. Not doing so will lead to a higher noise level than that specified.
