Key to Figure 1

1.  Unconditioned Outputs. 

These three BNC connectors provide buffered versions of the X, 

Y and Z output signals from the magnetometer. Signals are only valid when the SCU1 is 
switched ON. They are not affected by any of the other SCU1 controls.

2.  Magnetometer Socket. 

This multi-pin socket is for the connection of the magnetometer 

cable.

3.  Magnetometer Output Type Selector Switch. 

The SCU1 can be used with magnetometers 

that have unbalanced (single-ended) outputs or balanced (differential) output signals. This 
switch sets the SCU1 to operate in unbalanced or balanced mode.

Caution: 

This switch must be set to match your magnetometer output type (see 

Magnetometer Output Type Selection

).

4.  IEC Mains Socket (Electrical Supply Input). 

The unit requires an AC mains supply as 

specified in the product brochure via this IEC inlet socket.

WARNING: 

The socket includes a removable fuse carrier. The correct fuse types must be 

fitted. Refer to the product brochure for fuse details.

5.  ON/OFF Switch.

 The IEC inlet socket includes this ON(1)/OFF(0) switch, to control power to 

the unit.
