1 INTRODUCTION – SEE FIG 1 This manual describes the operation of the Mag-03-OCTO-PSU power supply unit. The unit provides a battery backed power supply of ±12V for up to eight Mag-03 series three-axis fluxgate magnetic field sensors. Signal inputs from the Mag-03 sensors are fully differential and the buffered outputs can be selected to be all a.c.
common is also buffered. The buffers allow long cables and low input impedance data acquisition systems to be used. The load should not be less than 10kohm resistance or greater than 2000pF. The output common is referenced to the internal chassis ground. 5 CONNECTORS Each Mag-03 sensor is connected to one of the eight Hirose 10-pin connectors on the front panel.
9 BATTERY CHARGING A mains adaptor having a 12Vdc regulated output is supplied for battery charging. The unit supplied will operate from either 110V or 220V/240Vac, 60Hz or 50Hz, and provides full electrical isolation from the mains supply. As an alternative the battery may be charged from a vehicle dashboard 12V connector.
selected if required to block the static background field and provide only an ac response. The decision to use either a dc or ac response will depend upon several factors. The need or otherwise to measure the static field. The dynamic range of any associated measuring instrument. If a 16-bit A/D converter is used, it will have a resolution of ±1 in ±32768.
The battery pack is supplied as a module with connectors, a power switch and indicator. To replace the unit proceed as follows: Disconnect the mains adaptor and ensure the power switch is in the OFF (O) position. Undo the four screws on the underside of the unit and remove the top panel. Remove the 2.1mm connector from the battery unit which is connected to the printed circuit board.
