The MagnaCheck 3D is a Tangential Field Strength Meter, also known a Gaussmeter, which is a device used to measure the strength and direction of a magnetic field. Baugh and Weedon offer a standard “1D” probe or a unique 3D probe which can measure the strength of a field in 3 dimensions (x, y and z).
3D Probe measures field strength on 3 planes (X,Y and Z) simultaneously
The MagnaCheck gauges are developed to be easy to use, ergonomic and are lightweight at 350g (0.77lbs).
The standard 1D probe can measure up to 1000 Gauss, and the 3D probe up to 2000 Gauss; unit of measurement can be in Gauss, mTsela and Ka/m. Sensor calibration is stored digitally in the probe with a measurement accuracy of 1%.
Features
- Unique 3D probe with Auto-recognition
- Battery powers up to 10 hours continuous use
- True RMS for Thyristor switched fields
- 70 samples per second
- The MagnaCheck is supplied with a comprehensive 12-month warranty
