F71/F41 Teslameter
3.6.4.2.2 Axial
A positive field value will be reported when the magnetic field direction is in the stem
toward the handle or mounting block.
3.6.4.2.3
3-Axis
With three different axes, identifying field direction and polarity is much more diffi-
cult than single-axis probes. In this situation, the handle will be less useful that look-
ing directly at the stem tip where active area location and axis labels are laser
engraved.
D
X-axis:
positive field reading when field passes through the probe from the side
marked with X to the side without an X.
D
Y-axis:
positive field reading when field passes through the probe from the side
marked with Y to the side without a Y.
D
Z-axis:
positive field reading when field is directed into the probe stem.
