9.5. Test Coil
The Mag-13 features a test coil which applies a magnetic field to all axes when activated. The
corresponding changes in X, Y and Z output voltages confirm that all axes of the sensor are
operational.
The test coil can be activated by grounding the relevant pin of the Mag-13 output connector, i.e.
connecting it to 0V. In this way it can be seen that the sensor is measuring correctly when the
corresponding change in field is detected in each of the three axes. Refer to the test record for the
field values generated for each individual sensor.
Note:
Of the available Bartington power supplies, only the Decaport and the DecaPSU will
allow operation of the test coil.
