Chapter 5: Instrument Maintenance and Care

1. General Maintenance

1.1: Probe Calibration

The instrument comes with a standard magnetic field. If the test is found to be inaccurate during measurement, the Hall probe can be placed in the standard magnetic field, and the calibration knob on the right panel of the MC-130 platform can be adjusted to make the Gaussian value displayed by the software consistent with the standard magnetic field.

Note: The standard magnetic field supplied with the instrument must not be pressed or vibrated. Protect it from moisture and direct sunlight.

1.2. Zero Calibration

If, after prolonged use, pressing the zero button multiple times still fails to clear the software meter display to 0Gs, please refer to the following steps to perform a zero calibration on the instrument. Note: Place the probe within a 0 magnetic field range (moving the probe away from metal and magnetic objects can be considered a 0 magnetic field). A software display value fluctuation of 1GS is normal.

1. Using the circular hole on the side panel, use a small flat-head screwdriver to slightly adjust the VR201 potentiometer. If the displayed value is positive, rotate counter-clockwise; if negative, rotate clockwise. While adjusting VR201, press the zero button repeatedly until multiple presses of the zero button consistently ensure the meter displays 0Gs.

2. After completing the above steps, you can adjust the zeroing range using the following steps (this step is optional).

3. Place the probe in a standard magnetic field, press the zero button, then place the probe in a 0GS magnetic field environment and record the data.

4. Place the probe in reverse in a standard magnetic field, press the zero button, then place the probe in a 0GS magnetic field environment and record the data.

⑸、Find a midpoint in the two sets of data above. First, press Clear to set the display value to 0Gs. Adjust the meter display to the midpoint position by adjusting VR202, then press Clear.

⑹、Zero calibration completed.

1.3. Replacing the Fuse

The fuse is located under the power socket on the rear panel of the chassis. After unplugging the power cord, you can use tweezers or your hand to remove the fuse holder and replace it with a spare fuse.

1.4, Replacement of Consumable Parts

The probe is a consumable part. Unscrew the probe fixing screw, disconnect the probe cable plug, and replace it with a new probe. If the software meter display value is not 0 in a 0 magnetic field after replacing the probe, you can refer to the probe calibration steps in 5.1.1 to calibrate the probe.

1.5, Common Faults and Troubleshooting Methods

1. Upon startup, the Gauss meter displays 1: The probe socket is loose or damaged, or the AD card loading is abnormal.

2. Upon startup, all ranges are at full scale: The probe is damaged, the connection is abnormal, or the magnetic field to be measured exceeds the device's detection range. Please check the probe connection.

3. After pressing the zero button multiple times, the value is not 0: Please refer to the zero calibration in general maintenance.

Regular inspection

Regardless of whether the equipment experiences issues, users must regularly perform routine inspections. Periodic inspections can help you uncover hidden problems within the equipment, thereby minimizing your losses. This section provides a detailed explanation of routine machine inspections.

Daily Inspections

Daily inspections refer to the checks that personnel must perform every day before, during, and after operating the machine. All inspection points are listed in the table below, where the numbers correspond to those in the checklist. Among the inspection points carried out during equipment operation, the detection of noise and abnormal sounds must be performed at all times.

Appendix 1:

Common Parameter Definition Description

Peak: Refers to the magnetic induction value at the apex of each magnetic pole, in kGs (units Gs/kGs/mT are switchable). The number of peaks is equal to the number of magnetic poles in the magnetic ring. A positive peak represents the N pole, and a negative peak represents the S pole.

2. Angle: Refers to the degree of each magnetic pole apex relative to the starting zero point of that magnetic pole.

3. Area: Refers to the area enclosed by the magnetic induction waveform of each magnetic pole and the angular coordinate, with the unit being T-degrees (units Gs-degrees/kGs-degrees/T-degrees are switchable), i.e., Tesla × angle. Its physical meaning is expressed as the integral of magnetic induction with respect to angle. The total area is the algebraic sum of the areas of all magnetic poles.

4. Width: Refers to the angular span between the starting zero point and the ending zero point of each magnetic pole.

5. Half-height width: Refers to the angular span between the two 50% peak points of each magnetic pole.

6. Angle: Refers to the angular difference of the peak angle of each magnetic pole relative to the peak angle of the previous magnetic pole.

7. 08 Angle: Refers to the degree between the midpoint of the two 80% peak points of each magnetic pole and the same point of the previous magnetic pole.

8. Maximum, Minimum, Average, Standard Deviation: Calculated according to mathematical definitions for all N and S poles separately in the test report; in the software's polar coordinate interface, N and S poles are not distinguished, and calculations are performed for all magnetic poles. In new versions (Build 2.0 or later) of the software's polar coordinate interface, calculations are performed separately for all N and S poles, consistent with the test report.

9. Cumulative Error: For each parameter, calculated based on its maximum and minimum values. Cumulative Error = 100 × (Maximum Value - Minimum Value) / Minimum Value.

10. Peak Pole-to-Pole Deviation (or Pole-to-Pole Error): Refers to the maximum value of the peak deviation between adjacent magnetic poles of the same polarity.

11. Duty Cycle: The ratio of the actual waveform area of a single pole to the area of the rectangular block formed by the peak and width corresponding to that pole.

12. Standard Deviation: .

: Overall standard deviation, Xnis for the nth polepeak value, M is the average of all peak values, i.e.,

13. Standard angular deviation and standard width deviation are as above, corresponding to the calculation of angle and width respectively.

14. Mean deviation: The maximum ratio of the deviation of the maximum peak and minimum peak from the average.

15. Maximum, Minimum, Average Angle: Corresponds to the maximum, minimum, and average values of the angles for each pole.

16. Angle Deviation: The maximum deviation value of all angles, i.e., maximum angle - minimum angle.

17. Maximum, Minimum, Average Width: Corresponds to the maximum, minimum, and average values of the widths for each pole.

18. Width Deviation: The maximum deviation value of all widths, i.e., maximum width - minimum width.

19. Skew Angle: A parameter for cylindrical multi-turn testing, representing the overall angular deviation of the magnetic field distribution at different heights for the same position on the same sample.

20. Magnetization Angle: A parameter for cylindrical multi-turn testing, used to estimate the magnetization angle of skewed products based on the skew angle (definitions vary, this angle may be complementary to the magnetization angle; it is an estimated parameter and for reference only).

21. Non-magnetic Zone: A parameter for planar scanning, representing the position range relative to the planar zero point where the magnetic stripe/block magnetic field vector is zero.
