2-Axis Magnetic Field Sensor

PS-2162

Zero-gauss

Chamber

Introduction

Use the PASPORT 2-Axis Magnetic Field Sensor in conjunction

with a PASPORT interface to measure magnetic field strength

simultaneously along two perpendicular axes.

The sensing elements are two Hall Effect devices oriented per-

pendicularly to one another and located at the end of the sensor’s

probe. The sensor measures the magnetic field in the Axial and

Perpendicular directions as illustrated. Two white dots on the

probe mark the positions of the sensing elements.

Setup

Connect the sensor to a PASPORT interface, either directly or

using the included extension cable. If you will be using a com-

puter, connect the interface to it and start DataStudio or

EZ-Screen software.

Optional: If you have a zero-gauss chamber (part EM-8652),

insert the probe into the chamber and press the Tare but-

ton on the sensor to zero both measurements. For

greatest accuracy, tare the sensor in this way

after it has been connected to a powered

interface for a few minutes.
