Operation
The FH 52 is a measuring instrument that allows measuring the magnetic flux density or
induction
B
and the magnetic field strength
H
of static or periodically alternating fields. The
instrument is characterized by a large measuring range, high accuracy and easy operation. It is
operated via keys or the USB interface. The measured values, information about the operating
conditions and the menus are shown on a liquid crystal display.
The display content depends on the selected language. The devices are delivered with the
language setting “English”. The language can be changed in the Display menu (chapter 3.3.14).
The following figures show the English displays.
The most important functions are invoked by the touch of a key. Further settings can be carried
out in a menu that is opened using the
Mode
key. The settings are automatically saved when
the device is switched off.
3.1
Display
The figure below shows the measurement display of the FH 52 with all available elements
enabled. In real operation you will normally use only some functions and the displayed
information will be less complex.
Fig. 2: Display during measurement operation
In measurement operation, the actual reading is shown in large characters in the center of the
display. The numerical value is displayed with 3½ digits at maximum, followed by the unit. If
an overrange condition occurs, the reading will flash.
If the
Max./Min.
function (chapter 3.3.10) is enabled, the values captured using this function are
shown in the line below the reading.
Below a separator line is shown, or if the
Bargraph
function is switched on, a horizontal bar
whose length is proportional to the measured value.
The following information is shown in the two lower lines:
1.
Signal mode:
DC
or
AC
(measurement of static or alternating fields).
2.
Range
:
Auto
, if automatic range selection is enabled and the upper range limit of the
currently selected measuring range.
