Wireless Magnetic Field Sensor

Product Code: PS-3221

Description

This 3-Axis Magnetic Field Sensor can sense the Earth’s magnetic field, magnetic fields from current-carrying coils, and permanent magnets. There are two ranges: ±50 gauss and ±1300 gauss. This sensor is primarily for static fields.

Applications

  • Measure the magnetic field of permanent magnets.
  • Measure Earth’s magnetic field.
  • Measure field strength of Helmholtz coils.

What’s Included

  • 1x 3-Axis Magnetic Field Sensor
  • 1x Sensor Mounting Rod
  • 1x USB Charging Cable
