5.3.2 Coil Resistance
Coil resistance can often be ignored because it is usually small compared to the input resistance of
the Model 480. If the DC resistance of the coil is more than 0.1% of the input resistance it can reduce
measurement accuracy and should be entered as a coil parameter. If it is less than that it can be
ignored and set to the default value of 0
. If an input resistance of 0
is selected, a non-zero coil
resistance must be entered for the fluxmeter to make any measurements. If the input and coil
resistance are both set to zero the display value will blink.
To enter coil resistance continue from input resistance entry or press the
Coil Setup
key and press
the
Enter
key until the
Enter Coil R
screen appears.
EnterCoilR
1.00000_¦
Use the numeric keypad to enter the coil resistance, then press the
Enter
key. The cursor will jump to
a space before the
symbol. Use the
or
keys to select prefix µ, m, _, k, or M. Press the
Enter
key, then the
Escape
key.
5.3.3 Number of Turns (N)
Number of turns in a coil is needed for the Model 480 to make magnetic measurements in flux units. If
the number of turns is set to the default of 1 flux measurement values will equal integrator
measurement values.
To enter coil number of turns, continue from coil resistance entry or press the
Coil Setup
key and
press the
Enter
key until the
Enter Turns
screen appears.
EnterTurns
1.00000_Turns
Use the numeric keypad to enter the number of turns (
N
) of the coil, then press the
Enter
key. The
cursor will jump to a space before the word “
Turns
”. Use the
or
keys to select prefix µ, m, _, k,
or M. Press the
Enter
key, then the
Escape
key.
5.3.4 Area (A)
The Model 480 must have an accurate area turns (AN) value for a coil in order to make flux density
measurements. This parameter can be entered in two ways. The user can enter a separate turns
value and area value in which case the instrument will calculate and store the area turns product. The
user can also enter a value for the area turns parameter directly by pressing the
Enter
key to skip
over the area setting screen.
To enter coil area, continue from coil turns entry or press the
Coil Setup
key and press the
Enter
key
until the
Enter Area
screen appears.
EnterArea
1.00000_cmÊ
Use the numeric keypad to enter the area (
A
) of the coil in cm
2
, then press the
Enter
key. The cursor
will jump to a space before the “
cm
2
”. Use the
or
keys to select prefix µ, m, _, k, or, M. Press the
Enter
key, then the
Escape
key.
