8. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION 

8.1. 

USB Interface 

The magnetometer PMG2 can be directly connected with a computer through the 

USB cable supplied by the manufacturer.  

The program supplied with the instrument transmits data from the magnetometer 

to the external computer. 

8.2. 

Charger 

The charger is delivered with the instrument, allowing careful and optimum 

charging of the built-in lead-acid battery 12 V / 3.4 Ah, to use its full capacity and lifetime. 
The product is double insulated. 

The charger automatically sets the optimum charging mode according to the 

condition of the battery. There is no danger to damage the battery from overcharging. 

Operation: 

1.  Plug the connector of the charger cable in the connector on the lower right part of the 

instrument. 

2.  Switch on the charger by plugging it in. 
3.  The battery is charged when the pilot light turns off. 

8.3. 

Maintenance And Repair Work 

Under normal operating conditions, the magnetometer requires no special 

maintenance. Only the built-in lead-acid battery needs care. If the voltage drops under a 
certain level, the battery might be damaged, or the magnetometer might not operate 
correctly, so the instrument is switched off automatically. When the device is not used for 
a long time, it is still discharging and must be charged at least once a half-year.  

Because of the complexity of the instrument, it is strongly recommended not to 

make any interference with the electronics. 

In the case of a failure of the magnetometer, the customer should contact the 

distributor or the manufacturer. The service will be performed as soon as possible. 

8.4. 

Storage And Transportation 

The packed instrument can be stored and transported in the range of 

temperatures -

20° to 70°C and at the relative humidity of up to 90%. 

The built-in lead-acid battery should be checked and charged with the supplied 

charger at least once a half-year. 

8.5. 

Warranty 

The manufacturer provides a two-year warranty after the purchase of the proton 

magnetometer PMG2. Other information relating to the warranty is given in the warranty 
certificate.
