    Consult Bartington Instruments for advice. 4. Introduction to the Mag613 The Mag613 three-axis, eight-head fluxgate is designed to be particularly flexible in use. The main interface cable to the electronics module will not have been fitted with a connector. This allows the user to fit their preferred type, perhaps after the cable has been fitted through a bulkhead or other restricted space.

Siting the Magnetometer Note: In whatever situation the Mag613 is to be installed, it is important to avoid or compensate for local magnetic effects. In general: • The magnetometer should be sited several metres from any magnetic base rock to avoid compromising measurements.

    BARTINGTON INSTRUMENTS 6. Using the Mag613 6.1. Magnetic Hysteresis Note: Do not subject your magnetometer to magnetic fields greater than their stated measuring range for extended periods as this could alter the DC offset. If this occurs, the offset will exhibit drift as it returns to its original offset specification.
