PCE 0 - 30,000G Portable EMF Detector & Magnetometer Gauss Magnetic Field Meter - PCE-MFM 3500

PCE 0 - 30,000G Portable EMF Detector & Magnetometer Gauss Magnetic Field Meter - PCE-MFM 3500

The PCE 0 - 30,000G Portable AC/DC EMF Detector & Magnetometer Gauss Magnetic Field Meter is a dependable tool for measuring magnetic fields. It is designed for both static (permanent magnets) and alternating magnetic fields. The flat external probe allows for measurements in tight spaces and small openings. With a measuring range of up to 30,000 G, it is versatile for various measuring tasks. In addition to detecting magnetic fields, the magnetometer also measures temperature simultaneously. The device features an adjustable alarm function that alerts the operator when a preset measurement value is exceeded.

The magnetometer also has a memory function. Values ??can be stored automatically as well as manually. To analyze the measured data, the magnetometer can be connected to a PC via the mini-USB interface. With the software, the data stored on the magnetometer can be read out and analyzed. In addition, the software can be used for live viewing and operation of the magnetometer.
