HI-3624 / HI-3624A Manual

rotated within a constant field, there will be an output from the

sensor at a frequency corresponding to the movement and this

will usually include frequency components greater than 5 Hz.

Consequently, during such movement, the meter will typically

show significant upscale indications.  The 5 Hz frequency cutoff

setting  is  primarily  useful  for  measurements  at  fixed  coil

positions such as near VDTs, in which case the sensor is not

being moved.  For area surveys of ELF fields, the 30 Hz cutoff

will be more useful.
