2. Safe Use

WARNING:

 These products are not qualified for use in explosive atmospheres or life 

support systems. Consult Bartington Instruments for advice.

Caution: 

To prevent irreparable damage, electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection and 

precautions must be used when handling the unpackaged sensor electronics board.

3. Introduction to the Mag648 & Mag649 Series

Both the Mag648 and Mag649 are magnetometers consisting of a cluster of three, feedback 
stabilised, fluxgate sensors arranged along X, Y and Z axes. Each axis provides a highly 
linear magnetic response, with low hysteresis and low crosstalk between axes. These 
characteristics, combined with the compact design and very low power consumption, make 
these magnetometers ideally suited for perimeter surveillance with a multi-sensor network. 
Regulating the power supply internally ensures the Mag64x series is suitable for battery powered 
operation, over both long and short cables.
