Industrial Gaussmeter IGM11 Operating Instructions
Chapter 5 Operation
Measuring Unit
Select the desired measuring unit in the set-up menu.
The measurement is carried out either in the unit Tesla, Gauss, kA/m or in Oersted.
The display shows the selected measuring unit. The respective range limit value
changes according to the selected measuring unit. This is shown in the bottom left
display area.
See also measuring ranges overview.
DC/AC Field Measurement
With the gaussmeter you can carry out both DC field measurements (typical for per-
manent magnets) and AC field measurements (typical for transformers and similar
components). You can moreover record fast single impulses.
Select the measurement mode via the corresponding entry in the set-up menu.
5.7.1 DC Field Measurement
When measuring DC fields, the gathered measuring values are integrated within a
time interval of 100 milliseconds. Influences of AC magnetic fields are thereby sup-
pressed. This applies especially to interferences of the AC network with a net frequency
of 50 to 60 Hertz.
The measuring values are displayed as sign values.
