EM38-MK2 GAIN CALIBRATION PROCEDURE 

 
 

The following is the Gain Check and calibration procedure for EM38-MK2 using the test coil 
and test jig. 
 

1.

 

Set the EM38-MK2 in the jig with the test coil as per figure 12. Make sure that the 
test coil is switched off. 

2.

 

Set the Mode switch to I/P position and adjust the I/P component to zero. 

3.

 

Set the Mode switch to Q/P position and adjust the Q/P component to zero. 

4.

 

Turn the test coil on. The instrument should read approximately 90 mS/m for 1 m coil 
separation and 185 mS/m for 0.5 m separation. If the reading deviates more than        
± 4 mS/m and ± 8 mS/m for 1 m and 0.5 m separation respectively, adjust the gain 
with potentiometer # R14 (inside the instrument) to obtain the optimal readings 

5.

 

Set the Mode switch to I/P position with the test coil off. Adjust the I/P knobs to 
obtain zero I/P reading. 

6.

 

Turn the test coil switch on. Inphase readings should read 90 ± 4 mS/m and            
186 ± 8 mS/m for 1 m and 0.5 m coil separation respectively. There is no separate 
gain adjustment for I/P components.
