    Alternating field waveforms up to 20 kHz frequency can also be displayed and stored. The pulse curves generated in this way can be displayed and stored in the MP-4000 as a graph, providing an accurate picture of the pulse curve of a magnetic field.
  • Page 4: Warnings And Hazards

    ARNINGS AND AZARDS List-Magnetik expressly states that the magnetic field meter MP-4000 may only be used for its intended purpose: the measurement of magnetic fields. Any use not in accordance with the intended purpose is not permitted and involves incalculable risks for the instrument and the operator.
  • Page 5: Quick Start Guide

    UIDE • First connect the probe cable to the probe and the instrument. • Turn on the MP-4000 with the red power button. • The probe will be recognized by the instrument and the model will be automatically displayed in the upper left corner of the status bar.
  • Page 6: Display Structure

    In the center is the measurement display with the current measurement and addi- tional information about it. Depending on the current display, there are symbols in the action area that trigger appropriate processing and special functions. List-Magnetik GmbH EN MP-4000 2025-03.doc...

    The trigger measurement processes pulse field measurements at an enormous speed of less than 0.1 msec. The measured values generated in this way can be displayed in the MP-4000 as a graph and give an accurate picture of the pulse progression of a magnetic field.
  • Page 15 You can enter a short text that will be displayed later when scrolling below the statistics. You can create as many trigger batches as you like. The batches are given a unique free number and a prefixed "T". List-Magnetik GmbH EN MP-4000 2025-03.doc...
  • Page 16: Scan

    During the scan measurement, the current measured value and the trigger value are also displayed. If you want to scan the curve of an AC field, switch the MP-4000 to DC measurement mode, not AC. With AC you will always get the RMS value.

  • Page 19: Setup

    You can set the automatic shutdown time: 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 30 minutes or "never off" if you do not want the device to turn off automatically. The power save mode switches the brightness back to 10% after 1 minute. List-Magnetik GmbH EN MP-4000 2025-03.doc...
  • Page 20: Probe Settings

    As long as you are in peak or trigger measurement, selecting the range is not possible. Normally, MP-4000 works in auto-range mode, which automatically switches between the two measuring ranges 1 (below 3,000 A/cm) and 2 (above 3,000 A/cm).
  • Page 21: Mode (Selection Dc-Ac)

    (set as "Level" in the trigger area) is exceeded. The time selection (80 msec, 320 msec, 1.30 s) determines how long the trigger measurement measures the pulse. The longer you record the pulse, the longer it takes to prepare the waveform. List-Magnetik GmbH EN MP-4000 2025-03.doc...
