Product catalog summary
Introduction
The Lake Shore Model 425 Gaussmeter is a high-performance desktop instrument designed for the permanent magnet industry. It facilitates magnet testing and sorting with features such as built-in relay, audible alarms, and a frequency response from DC to 10 kHz. It includes a standard Lake Shore Hall probe and expert support in magnet measurement technology.
Measurement Modes
AC Measurement Mode: Capable of measuring periodic AC fields from 10 Hz to 10 kHz with narrow and wide band modes for enhanced performance.
DC Measurement Mode: Measures static or slowly changing fields with a DC accuracy of ±0.20% and improved resolution through internal filtering.
Features
The Model 425 offers autorange, probe zero, multiple display units, max hold, and relative reading features. It supports field calibration and includes a USB interface for data collection and control.
Probe Features
Utilizes Lake Shore Hall probes for precise measurements, featuring probe field compensation and hot swapping capabilities. Probe information is stored in non-volatile memory for easy configuration.
Display and Interface
The gaussmeter includes a 2-line by 20-character LCD display for field readings and setup prompts, a 14-key keypad for frequently used features, and a USB interface for computer connectivity.
Specifications
Field ranges from 350 mG to 350 kG, with DC measurement resolution to 4¾ digits and a basic DC accuracy of ±0.20%. It supports various probes with different frequency ranges and accuracies.
Ordering Information
The Model 425 is available with different power cord options and includes accessories like I/O connectors and a zero gauss chamber. Calibration services are offered for new and existing instruments.
Conclusion
The Model 425 Gaussmeter is a versatile tool for magnet measurement, enhancing productivity and accuracy in testing and sorting applications.
Additional Specifications
The Model 425 replaces the Model 421 and includes measurement units such as tesla, oersted, and ampere per meter. The display updates at 3 readings per second with a resolution of ±4¾ digits. The keypad has 14 keys with a membrane design, and the front panel includes display contrast control and keypad lock-out.
Interfaces
Features a USB interface emulating a standard RS-232 serial port with a baud rate of 57,600, using a B-type USB connector and supporting up to 30 readings per second. Software support is available through a LabVIEW™ driver.
Alarm and Relays
Alarm settings include high and low setpoints, inside or outside, algebraic or magnitude, and audible on/off options. It includes a relay with normally open, normally closed, and common contacts, rated at 30 VDC at 2 A.
Monitor Output
Provides a real-time analog voltage output proportional to the measured field, with a range of ±3.5 V and a frequency response from DC to 10 kHz. Accuracy is offset and single-point gain corrected to ±0.5% of reading ±0.1% of range.
General Information
Operates within an ambient temperature range of 15 °C to 35 °C at rated accuracy, and 5 °C to 40 °C with reduced accuracy. It can handle ambient fields up to 100 G DC. Power requirements are 100 VAC to 240 VAC, 50 Hz to 60 Hz, 40 VA. Dimensions are 216 mm W × 89 mm H × 318 mm D, and it weighs 2.1 kg. It is CE marked and RoHS compliant.
Probes and Extensions
Compatible with a full line of standard and custom probes, including Model 425/455/475 probes. Supports front panel programmable sensitivity and serial number for user-supplied Hall sensors using HMCBL cables. Probe extension cables with an EEPROM are available from 10 ft to 100 ft.
Company Background
Lake Shore Cryotronics, Inc., founded in 1968 by Dr. John M. Swartz and his brother David, specializes in developing measurement and control solutions for cryogenic temperatures, magnetic fields, and characterizing the physical properties of materials in temperature and magnetic environments.
