1.5 Design and operation
The operating principle of a magnetometer is based on the physical Hall effect using the Hall
linear elements (transducers) of PH type.
The structural scheme of the magnetometer is shown on the fig.1.2.
Х – linear Hall element; ADC – analog-to-digital converter;
M – microprocessor controller; G – graphic display; PS – power source.
Figure 1.2 – Schematic stricture of magnetometer NOVOTEST MF-1M
The Hall element converts the magnitude of the magnetic field into a voltage which is fed to the
input of analog-to-digital converter “ADC”. The synchronous analog-to-digital conversion of the
signal leads to a cyclic sequence of digital codes, based on which the microprocessor controller “M”
calculates the exact value of Hall electromotive force and converts it into measurement unit of
induction or magnetic field strength and displays the reading in digital or graphic form on the graphic
display “G”. The microprocessor controller “M” also monitors the status of the “PS” power system of
the magnetometer.
1.6 Hall probe
The working surface of the probe features a hole with the Hall element. The sensitive area of the
Hall element is arranged along the working surface of the magnetic field transducer.
The magnetometer readings correspond to the magnitude of the constant magnetic field induction
vector component normal to the working surface of the magnetic field transducer Вithat is numerically
equal to the scalar product of the magnetic field induction vector B and the unit normal vector n (fig.
1.3).

Figure 1.3 – The readings depending on the passing of the magnetic induction vector through the
Hall probe.
The positive reading of the magnetometer means that the normal component of the induction
vector of a constant magnetic field at the measurement point goes outside the working surface of the
magnetic field transducer. (fig. 1.3а).
A negative reading of the magnetometer means that the normal component of the induction vector
of a constant magnetic field at the measurement point is within the working surface of the magnetic
field transducer (fig. 1.3б).
1.7 Measurement instruments and accessories
The adjustment and setting of the device in case of detection of malfunctions should be performed
by the manufacturer.
1.8 Labeling and sealing
The front panel of the device features the designation of the device with the trademark of the
manufacturer.
The rear panel of the device features the factory number.
1.9 Packaging
The electronic unit and the converter are delivered in packaging containers that eliminate their
damage during transportation.
