Page 3 A calibration standard is supplied with each instrument. The magnetic permeability of a material is usually strongly dependent on the strength and frequency of the magnetizing field. The probe of the FerroPro compact can be adjusted to different excitation field strengths. FerroPro compact can be used to perform standard-compliant permeability measurements according to ASTM A342 test methods 1 and 4, EN 60404-15 method 6 and VG 95578.
Page 4 TART • First connect the probe cable to the probe and the instrument. • Switch on FerroPro compact with the red power button. • An automatic zero is performed when the instrument is turned on. During this process, the probe should be away from metal parts and out of a magnetic field.
Page 5 = 4 x Pi x 10 m kg FerroPro compact is used for material selection in applications where absolutely non- magnetic materials must be used, such as in the electron microscope, electron or ion spectroscopy, in nuclear magnetic resonance equipment, and in the vicinity of com- pass navigation equipment.
Page 6 From a thickness of about 5 mm and an extension of about 2 cm, the measurement is independent of the size. The approximate dependence of sensitivity on thickness is shown in the following diagram. The sensitivity is defined as (µr - 1) / (µr - 1). displayed true List-Magnetik GmbH EN FerroPro compact 2025-03.doc...
Page 7 The status bar shows the title of the current menu position and the battery status. The statistics area displays statistics for a series of measurements. If no memory batch is active, the List-Magnetik logo is displayed here. In the center is the measurement display with the current measurement and addi- tional information about it.
Page 8 This section allows you to set the language, unit of measure, and other measurement and display parameters, as well as power management settings. Info and System Turn off the unit, view hardware and software status, or perform a factory reset. List-Magnetik GmbH EN FerroPro compact 2025-03.doc...
Page 9 The color of the reading is black. If limit values are set, the measured value is displayed in blue if it is below the lower limit value and in red if it is above the upper limit value. List-Magnetik GmbH EN FerroPro compact 2025-03.doc...

Page 12 Memory batch number 4 is active (M4). There are 7 memory batches in total (4/7). A total of 15 values are stored in memory batch 4. Maximum, minimum, average and standard deviation are calculated from these 15 values. The last stored value was 1.010 List-Magnetik GmbH EN FerroPro compact 2025-03.doc...

Page 17 The trash can icon deletes the entire series of measurements. The memory batch remains active, however, so that further measurements will be written to this memory batch. If an individual reading is inactive, it can be permanently deleted by clicking the scissors icon. List-Magnetik GmbH EN FerroPro compact 2025-03.doc...
Page 18 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 FerroPro compact 2025-03.doc...
