The method of mounting will depend on the application and the enclosure. For details of the
mounting arrangements for each sensor, refer to the product brochure and the relevant outline
drawing on the Mag-13 product page.
Note:
The use of magnetic materials in the mounting arrangement must be avoided. Check
all mounting components before installation by placing the component within the immediate
vicinity of the sensing elements of a working magnetometer and observing any variation in
the background field.
Caution:
Do not place the sensor head of the unpackaged sensor in the immediate vicinity of
electrically conductive materials.
Caution:
The absolute maximum screw penetration depth within the body, as shown in the
relevant outline drawing on the product page, must not be exceeded.
The analogue output is positive for conventional flux direction, south to north, in the direction of
the arrow shown on the label for each axis; i.e. the maximum positive output will be obtained from
any axis when the arrow points towards magnetic north along the total field vector.
8.1. Mag-13MC
This sensor can be supported by the Mag-TA Tripod Adaptor described in the product brochure.
The end of the Mag-13MC has a threaded hole for fixing the sensor in place, and three conical
indentations that can be used to achieve a more precise alignment of the axes when setting up the
sensor.
Caution:
The label area of the sensor is recessed and should not be used for clamping.
8.2. Mag-13MS
This sensor can be supported by the Mag-TA Tripod Adaptor described in the product brochure.
This sensor has threaded holes tapped in the base which is also the datum face. The sensor can
be mounted on any flat, non-magnetic surface, including the Tripod Adaptor, using the two brass
screws supplied.
Caution:
The absolute maximum screw penetration depth within the body is 8 mm and this
must not be exceeded.
