9. Storage and transport
Your sensor is a precision electronic instrument and should be treated as such.
Note:
Avoid exposing this instrument to shocks or continuous vibration.
Note:
Store only within the temperature range specified in the product brochure.
Note:
Do not expose this instrument to strong magnetic fields while being stored.
10. End of life disposal
This product should not be disposed of in domestic or municipal waste. For information about
disposing of your sensor safely, check local regulations for disposal of electrical / electronic
products.
10.1. Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations
This sensor complies fully with Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (RoHS) and WEEE Regulations current at the time of
printing.
Appendix 1: Use of Alternative Power Supplies
Bartington Instruments power supplies provide the most suitable methods for connecting to
and operating your sensor. If you have decided to use an alternative then the information in this
Appendix is important.
Caution:
Failure to follow these instructions may result in incorrect sensor readings and in
some circumstances may cause irreparable damage to your sensor, power supply, or both.
Power supplies should normally provide ±12V. For the lowest noise applications, ripple in the
output should be in the mV region. The nominal current requirements are +45mA and -18mA
with an additional current in proportion to the measured field. The additional current is 1.4mA
per 100μT per axis and will be drawn from the positive or negative supply, depending on the
direction of the field.
The maximum output voltage swing from the sensor will always be less than the supply voltage.
In the temperature range -40°C to +70°C, and with an external load of 10kΩ, the maximum
output voltage will be less than each supply voltage by up to 2V. All parameters, other than the
output voltage range, remain unaffected for supply voltage changes in the range from ±8 to ±15V.
