Page 6: Quick Start
Quick start 1. Plug in the ferrite probe. 2. Load four AA batteries in to the battery compartment ensuring that the polarity is correct. 3. If you have the gas cooled option and are using hot samples connect a gas/air-line, regulated to 2 bar, to the probe using the fitting provided. -
Page 7: Operation
Operation The Ferrite meter has 4 keys: ℹ power �tick �up �down The ℹ power, �tick, �up and �down keys have a second meanings if held down for more than 2 seconds. The step by step instructions that follow provide all the key information about operation of the instrument. - Page 8 Operation - Display Options Step 4 Display Options 4.1 Top line 4.1.1 Record number On the top line the number of the next available record in the database is displayed on the left. There are 1000 available records (0-999) and the current measurement value can be saved by pressing the ℹ...
- Page 9 Operation - Display Options continued This value will be displayed as FN or F%, to toggle between these units press and hold the �up key. Note that the instrument is calibrated using FN standards and that the reported F% is calculated using a conversion graph (see section on Ferrite percentage) 4.3 Third line...
- Page 10 If the transfer standards do not read accurately after a user calibration then the instrument should be returned to Diverse for factory calibration. Press �tick key to select user calibration.

Page 12: Ferrite Percentage
Ferrite percentage Ferrite Percentage Calibration standards exist for ferrite number (FN) and the MF300Fe+ is calibrated using secondary ferrite number standards supplied by NIST. The volume percentage of ferrite can be estimated roughly as about 70% of the FN particularly at higher FN (ref 1). However, the relationship depends upon the type and origin of the stainless steel used and the measurement technique. -
Page 13: Software
Software Software The serial version of the MF300Fe+ is supplied with software to run on a windows (7/Vista/XP/2000) PC, see First Time for information about installation. The program name is: MagmeterSerial.exe. Its operation is as follows: Download files from: http://www.diversetechnologies.net/software/magmeterserial.zip. Unpack and copy all the files to the directory in which you want to work (there is no separate installation file). - Page 14 Hyperterminal supplied free with Windows XP.
