2.2 Connecting a Magnetic Field Sensor
Connect the magnetic field sensor (100 cm
2
or 3 cm
2
) according to the
steps below.
Locate the Z-axis of the magnetic field sensor facing forward,
insert the output connector of the sensor in the FT3470-50
sensor terminal and screw the nut of the sensor in to firmly
attach the sensor.
The sensor automatically recognizes the connected magnetic
field sensor.
This completes connection of 100 cm
2
and 3 cm
2
magnetic field sen-
sors.
2.2 Connecting a Magnetic Field Sensor
Use the magnetic field sensor within its specified range.
In a high frequency and strong magnetic field, the sensor
will output a high voltage that may cause electric shock
or sensor damage when someone touches an uncon-
nected output terminal.
Observe the rating and the derating curve of the sensor
during operation.
The 100 cm
2
sensor, intended for normal application, has a cross-
sectional area of 100 cm
2
.
The 3 cm
2
sensor has a cross-sectional area of 3 cm
2
and is
designed for measuring detailed magnetic field distribution.

To avoid damaging the output cable, grasp the connector, not the cable,
when unplugging the cable.
