6. Compatible Power Supply and Data Acquisition Units

A number of Bartington Instruments products will work with the Mag-03 as power supply and/

or data acquisition units. These are listed in the product brochure, and can be found at

bartington.com/data-acquisition-and-conditioning-units.html.

For further information on power supplies see

For information on using your own power supply or data acquisition unit see AN0042: 'Connecting

your own Power Supply to a Bartington Magnetic Field Sensor', available from Bartington

Instruments.

Cables are available to connect the range of Mag-03 sensors to the range of suitable Bartington

Instruments power supply and data acquisition units. Specifications for each of the cables are

given in the product brochure.

Note: Cables must be ordered separately.

Note: Customers manufacturing their own cables must ensure the cables are shielded to

prevent them picking up EM (electromagnetic) interference.

Note: The connecting cable to the sensor should be an eight-core screened cable. Two cores

will be used for positive and negative power supply lines, three cores for output signals, one

core for signal common and one for power supply ground. The screen should be connected

to supply ground at the supply end only. The capacitance between cores should be less than

200pF per metre. A cable with individually shielded cores should be considered for long

cable applications.

Note: The length of the cable is limited by the voltage drop in the power supply lines and the

capacitance between the cores. For this reason it is recommended that the cable is limited

to a maximum length of 600 metres.

All sensors, except for the Mag-03MSS, are supplied with a non-magnetic mating connector if no

cable for connection to a power supply or data acquisition module is purchased.

Note: The Mag-03MSS mating connector must be purchased separately.
