.

The output from all fluxgate sensors includes a low level of the excitation frequency. For the Mag-
03 range this noise is well above the bandwidth of the sensors.

Note: 

It is particularly important to attenuate the breakthrough before digitising the signal 

to prevent aliasing. Aliasing can generate spurious signals or noise in the wanted frequency 
band by intermodulation between excitation and data sampling frequencies. See application 
note ‘AN0042: Connecting your own Power Supply to a Bartington Magnetic Field Sensor’ 
from Bartington Instruments for further information.

13. Troubleshooting, Care and Maintenance

13.1. Troubleshooting

Special equipment is required for the diagnosis of faults within the unit. Much of this equipment 
is beyond the scope of normal service facilities. In the event of any apparent malfunction, email 

service

@

 or telephone the Bartington Instruments service team on +44 (0)1993 

706565.

Note:

 Attempted repair or opening of the casing by users may invalidate the warranty.

A re-calibration service is available which is traceable to international standards.

13.2. Care and Maintenance

Note: 

Surface or dirt contamination should be removed using a mild detergent solution only. 

If the connector pins become contaminated then they should be lightly cleaned with a swab 
of isopropyl alcohol.

When further service or maintenance is required, contact Bartington Instruments or your local 
agent company.

14. Storage & Transport

Your sensor is a precision electronic instrument and should be treated as such.

Caution: 

Avoid exposing this instrument to shocks or continuous vibration.

Caution: 

Store only within the temperature range specified in the product brochure.

Caution: 

Do not expose this instrument to strong magnetic fields while being stored.
