7.3. Mag03MSS-TC
-TC versions of Mag-03 MSS feature a test coil which applies a magnetic field to all axes when
activated. The corresponding changes in X, Y and Z output voltages confirm that all axes of the
sensor are operational.
Variations from the standard Mag-03 MSS are as follows.
1. Connector is a 9-way type IE-XSJ-9-BCR with pin 8 used as the TEST ENABLE pin. See
drawiong DR3000, available via the product page.
2. Cable features a 9-way IE-XSJ-9-CCP connector at sensor end: see drawing DR2982. A version
can be supplied with a Hirose RM15TPD10S connector at the user end: see drawing DR2980.
3. TEST ENABLE is activated by connecting pin 8 of IE-XSJ-9-BCR connector to PG (pin 4).
8. Accessories
8.1. Mag-03 Calibration Unit
A variety of battery powered calibration units are available, described in further detail in the
product brochure. These produce a sinusoidal alternating magnetic field of defined frequency
and magnitude. The units provide a reference magnetic field for checking the calibration of the
sensors but cannot be used to perform a calibration directly. If the calibration unit shows that
calibration is required then the sensor should be returned to Bartington Instruments.
8.2. Mounting Accessories
The compatible mounting accessories are shown in the product brochure. See also
Section 10
below.
9. Mounting
The method of mounting will depend on the application and the enclosure. For details of the
mounting arrangements for each sensor, refer to the product brochure and to the relevant outline
drawings on the product page.
Note:
Avoid the use of magnetic materials in the mounting arrangement. All mounting
components should be checked before installation by placing the component within the
immediate vicinity of the sensing elements of a working magnetometer and observing any
variation in the background field.
