BARTINGTON INSTRUMENTS 1. About this Manual This manual describes the installation, operation and maintenance of the Mag690 Magnetic Field Sensors. It should be read in conjunction with product brochure DS2604 outline drawings which can be found on the product page on the Bartington Instruments website at www.
BARTINGTON INSTRUMENTS 3. Introduction to the Mag690 The Mag690 is a magnetic field sensor consisting of three fluxgate sensing elements in an orthogonal configuration along X, Y and Z axes. This low cost, general purpose sensor is suitable for use in the field as well as in a laboratory environment.
Do not use a Mag648 cable (Black Binder connector) to connect a Mag690 (Blue Binder connector) as this can damage the device. Always match the colours of the Binder connectors;...
2. Check the power supply output voltage is suitable for the sensor. Refer to the product brochure for the required values. Caution: Switch off the power supply before connecting to the Mag690. 3. Connect the power supply to the sensor.
For this reason the cable should be limited to a maximum length of 600 metres. Bartington Instruments can supply cables for connecting the sensor to the PSU1, Magmeter-2, SCU1, Spectramag-6 and Mag-03DAM. 5.2. Connecting Power Caution: Check that the polarity of the supply is correct.
BARTINGTON INSTRUMENTS 5.4. Electromagnetic Compatibility Note: The Mag690 is not shielded for immunity from, or emission of, electromagnetic fields. Any shield placed around the sensor will limit the bandwidth of the sensor response. The emissions generated are at a low level at the excitation frequency - refer to the product brochure Breakthrough entry for the excitation frequency.
End of Life Disposal. 7. Care and Maintenance No repair or servicing is possible with the Mag690. For further information, refer to Troubleshooting. 7.1. Cleaning the Mag690 Use water and mild soap to remove grime from external enclosures.
BARTINGTON INSTRUMENTS Note: Avoid exposing this instrument to shocks or continuous vibration. Note: Store only within the temperature range specified in the product brochure. Note: Do not expose this instrument to strong magnetic fields while being stored. Note: If the instrument is left to stand for a long period of time, move it to prevent magnetisation of the cores.
