Accessories
PSU-1
The PSU-1 contains configurable high and low pass filters for the analog signals from the Mag-03, Mag649 and Mag690 sensors.
This unit supplies dc power to any Mag-13, Mag-03, Mag649 or Mag690 sensor using the ac adapter provided or from the internal rechargeable battery. The ±12 volt supply is fully isolated and the battery provides up to 10 hours of continuous operation.
SCU-1
The SCU-1 is a 19" rack mount unit that provides low noise power and precision signal conditioning for any Mag-13, Mag-03, Mag649 or Mag690 sensor. The unit operates from a 110 or 220 Vac mains supply.
Magmeter-2
The Magmeter-2 is a portable, battery powered unit provides both power for magnetic field sensors and simple access to filtered versions of the sensor's XYZ outputs. It incorporates three displays showing the values of the magnetic field being measured by the connected sensor. Low-pass filtering (9kHz) is applied to all sensor outputs. A high-pass filter (0.1Hz) is also selectable via a front panel switch.
Mag-03MC-BR
The Mag-03MC-BR is a convenient mounting clamp for the cylindrical version of the Mag-03 sensors.
Degaussing Wand
The Degaussing Wand is a mains powered, handheld instrument that is used for removing accumulated magnetic fields from other devices. Instruments that measure magnetic fields can become magnetized themselves, thus adversely affecting their performance.
Spectramag-6
The Spectramag-6 is a fast six-channel 24-bit data acquisition system with simultaneous sampling of all channels and a USB interface to the user's PC. The unit is designed for the simultaneous collection and analysis of two Mag-03 Fluxgate Sensors or one Mag-03 and up to three channels of vibration and/or acoustic.
