ranges for measurement. The scales are arranged so that when

the meter is first turned on, the meter will be on it's least

sensitive scale, ie. highest range. As the switch is rotated

clockwise the sensitivity of the meter increases. Generally

speaking, the readings will be most accurate when the meter

movement has maximum deflection without an over range

indication. A second toggle switch controls the desired low

frequency cutoff. The user may select the lower frequency of

the band pass for the instrument as either 30 Hz or 5 Hz.

There are two LED indicators on the front panel. A "Low

Battery" LED lights when the battery voltage is too low for

accurate readings. After lighting, the batteries will provide about

10 minutes of useful operation. The "Over Range" LED

illuminates when the field being measured exceeds the range

selected on the HI-3627.

Recorder Output

The HI-3627 Magnetic Field Meter has a recorder output. The

recorder output is a voltage signal (0-5 VDC) proportional to the

needle deflection on the meter. This output can be used to drive

a chart recorder, data logger, or other device to display the

indicated field reading on the instrument.
