Magnetic Field Sensor ±2000 mT
1009941 / U11359
Instruction Sheet
10/11 Hh
1. Description
Sensor box with attached sensor probe, 140 mm
long, 7 mm wide and 1.9 mm thick, for measuring
magnetic flux density B of a magnetic field acting
outside the box in a tangential plane, primarily for
use with the basic Hall-effect apparatus
(1009934/U8487000).
At the tip of the probe there is a Hall sensor with
an active area of about 0.044 mm², which produces
a steady output signal that is ratiometric (i.e., pro-
portional to the operating voltage).
The Hall sensor has an extended temperature range
of -20°C to +180°C for measuring the flux density of
heated germanium semiconductor crystals (probes).
There are two latching range buttons for 0.2 T and
2 T plus an additional Tare button for calibration.
The current setting of the measurement range is
shown visually by a light-emitting diode on the left
of the relevant button.
The stand clamping rod can be adjusted to hold
the sensor in the desired position and orientation
in the magnetic field that is being measured.
The box is also suitable for use with the connector box
(115 V, 50/60 Hz) (1009954/U8533381-115) or connec-
tor box (230 V, 50/60 Hz) (1009955/U8533381-230).
See the relevant technical data.
2. Safety instructions
The magnetic field sensor is not suitable for appli-
cations where safety is essential.
• Only use the magnetic field sensor for educa-
tional purposes!
