Quick Start Guide
Single Axis Gaussmeter Model: GM09-1
A single-axis gaussmeter featuring touch-screen interface and rechargeable Li-ion battery compatible with the extensive
range of Hirst Hall sensor probes. Built-in "App" modes ensure standard tests and measurements can be carried out with
ease and minimal effort. Data-logging features allow the retrieval of data using a simple USB interface, no additional
software is needed as the GM09 appears as a USB mass storage device.
How to use the GM09
The GM09 Handheld Gaussmeter and Probe is used to measure Magnetic Flux Density or Magnetic Field Strength.
There are two key parts to the GM09:
1.
The Probe that senses the Magnetic Field and produces an electrical signal which uses a Hall effect element.
2. The GM09 Instrument itself, that then processes these electrical signals to display measurements that the user can read
off the display or capture.
Above is the top of the GM09 showing the Power On/Off button, an LED indicator (solid Blue when the unit is on and not
illuminated when the GM09 is turned off) and the Hall Probe Connector. Plug the probe into the connector above and
power on the GM09 by pressing the button for >1 second. The Blue power on indicator LED slowly flashes when the unit is
in Sleep mode (to save power), simply touch the screen to turn the GM09 back on.
