To prevent irreparable damage, electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection and precautions must be used when handling the unpackaged sensor electronics board.
BARTINGTON INSTRUMENTS 3. Introduction to the Mag670 The Mag670 is a single-axis fluxgate sensor that provides highly linear magnetic response and low hysteresis. Each instrument consists of a single, feedback-stabilised, fluxgate sensing element arranged along the length of the enclosure, which is orientated to point away from the unit’s connector.
For this reason the cable should be limited to a maximum length of 600 metres. Bartington Instruments can supply cables for connection of the sensor to the PSU1, Magmeter, SCU1 and Spectramag-6 data acquisition and power supply units.
Degaussing the sensor can reverse such an effect. Note: The Mag670 is designed to have an extremely low magnetic hysteresis. However, Bartington Instruments recommends your sensor is not subjected to magnetic fields greater than their stated measuring range for extended periods as this could alter the DC offset.
The most likely causes of failure, and their solutions, are detailed in the following table. In the event of any apparent malfunction beyond those described in the table below, please email service@bartington.com, or telephone the Bartington Instruments service team on +44 (0)1993 706565.
