Bartington MAG-03 Three Axis Magnetic Field Sensors

These compact, high performance sensors with integral electronics provide precision measurements of static and alternating magnetic fields in three axes. They are available with measuring ranges of +70, +100, +250, +500 or +1000µT in range of enclosures as detailed below. Powered from any +12V supply, outputs are in the form of three analog voltages from 0 to +10V, proportional to Bx, By and Bz.

Low noise sensors with a noise level of 4-6pTrms/Hz1/2 at 1Hz can be supplied in all enclosures with a measuring range of +70 or +100µT.

These sensors have a wide range of applications in physics, bioelectromagnetics, geophysical exploration and defense.

Accessories include the Mag-03PSU battery power supply unit, Mag-03DAM high resolution data acquisition module and the Mag-03SCU signal conditioning unit for control of gain and bandwidth and compensation of the background magnetic field. The use of differential inputs in these accessories ensures error-free operation with the sensors irrespective of cable length.

A calibration service for the Mag-03 sensors is available and a calibration unit can be supplied for the cylindrical range of sensors.

Mag-03PSU
Power Supply Unit

 

 

 

 

This unit supplies power to any Mag-03 sensor via the mains adapter provided or from the internal rechargeable battery. The +12V supply is fully isolated and the battery provides 10 hours of continuous operation.

The Mag-03PSU contains high and low pass filters for the analog signals from the Mag-03 sensor. The low pass (<4.5kHz) filter removes HF noise from feedthrough of the sensor excitation frequency and any external sources. The high pass (<0.1Hz) filter can be switched to provide a.c. or d.c. operation.

Mag-03DAM
Data Acquisition Module

The Mag-03DAM is a 6 channel, 24 bit resolution module for the collection of data from any two Mag-03 sensors or a Grad-03-12 gradiometer. If used in conjunction with one sensor only, other inputs can be used to record analog signals such as temperature. All inputs are protected against voltage surges.

The unit incorporates a battery backed power supply for the sensors. Power is provided via a mains adapter and data transmitted to the user's computer via an optically isolated RS232 serial link. The analog signals from the sensors are available for external use. The data acquisition module can be located up to several hundred meters away from the sensors. Software is provided for storing one minute average or five second values to disc.

Mag-03SCU
Signal Conditioning Unit

This unit provides power for any Mag-03 sensor and signal conditioning of the sensor outputs. The unit, which is suitable for mounting in a 19 inch rack, operates from a 220 or 110V a.c. supply. The power supply voltage can be increased for operation with the sensor over very long cables.

Mag-03MC-CU
Calibration Unit

The Mag-03MC-CU is a battery powered unit which produces a sinusoidal alternating magnetic field of defined frequency and magnitude. It provides a reference magnetic field for testing the calibration of the cylindrical range of Mag-03 sensors. A temperature stabilized constant current is passed through a single Helmholtz coil with guides to align each of the sensor axes in turn.
