6.2. Connecting the Equipment
Connect the equipment using the following sequence:
1. Connect the magnetometer to the SCU1 magnetometer socket. Ensure the connector pins
are correctly aligned with those in the socket. The locking ring should be hand-tightened
only.
2. If your system will use the SCU1 analogue outputs, connect the conditioned and/or
unconditioned BNC outputs to your external equipment, as required.
3. Ensure the IEC socket mains switch (Figure 1, item 5) is OFF (position 0). Connect your
mains supply cable to the IEC socket. The unit will operate with a mains supply in the range
specified in the product brochure. Range selection is automatic within the unit.
6.3. Initial Settings
6.3.1. Magnetometer Supply Voltage
Before switching the equipment ON, set the appropriate voltage for your magnetometer, using
the front panel control (Figure 2, item 9).
For all Mag648 and Mag-03RC magnetometers, use the 12V setting.
For Mag-03MC, MS and IE magnetometers, the voltage setting should be used to compensate for
any voltage loss in the magnetometer cable. Refer to individual sensor brochures to select the
correct setting for your cable length (see the Mag-03 product brochure DS0013, available from
the Bartington Instruments website, for recommended cable types).
6.3.2. Magnetometer Output Type Selection
Before switching on the equipment, set the magnetometer output type selector switch (Figure
1, item 3) to the correct position for your magnetometer: see Table 2. See individual sensor data
sheets for those not mentioned in this table.
