2. Technical Advice
Please read this Operating Manual carefully!
2.1
Transverse Probe
The transverse probe has a blue protective cap which have to be unscrewed
before measurement.
Utmost care and attention are needed if magnets have to be measured that
are not mechanically fixed. Clashing poles can destroy the Hall element!
As the Hall element (ceramic) is very sensitive to pressure or shock,
mechanical stress must be avoided (risk of breakage)!
2.2
Transverse Probe Brass
When measuring fields of B > 20 mT and f > 10 kHz, the probe brass
should not be operated for more than 1 min in order to prevent excessive
heating of the brass tube with the Hall element inside!
Attention should be paid to the fact that at the probe a connection exist
between GND, cable shield, plug housing and brass tube. Possibly an
isolated installation of the probe and/or plug would be necessary to prevent
an unintended connection between measuring ground and protective earth.
2.3
Transverse Probe Hot
The transverse probe has a protective cap which have to be drawn off
before measurement.
Only the probe, the handle and the cable are temperature-resistant. The
probe connector with the electronic may only be operated up to +50 °C.
