+ 0 . 0 0 k G DC
+ 0 . 0 2 k G XYZ
NOTE:
For best results, the instrument and probe should warm up for at least 5 minutes before
zeroing the probe, and at least 30 minutes for rated accuracy. The probe and the zero
gauss chamber should be at the same temperature.
NOTE:
Some Lake Shore probes come with a clear plastic sleeve to protect the probe tip when not
in use. The sleeve slides up and down the probe cable. To place the probe in the zero
gauss chamber, slide the protective sleeve back, exposing the probe tip, before placing the
tip in the chamber.
9. Place the probe in the zero gauss chamber. Once inserted, press the
Channel
key (in this case,
Channel X), then press the
Zero Probe
key. You will see the following display.

10. Press the
Enter
key. The
*CALIBRATING*
message briefly displays, followed by the normal
display. Do not move the probe while the
*CALIBRATING*
message displays. There should be a
near-zero reading on the display when finished.
11. Repeat Steps 9 and 10 for the Y and Z probes, if present.
NOTE: If the unit has performed well to this point, the unit is functioning properly. If you have a
reference magnet available, you can continue with the test using the magnet to verify the
accuracy of the Model 460.
