The FW Bell 5177 Gauss Meter represents the most recent design in magnetic measuring equipment. Applications with these meters, all CE compliant, can range from rugged industrial settings to sensitive laboratory environments. The success of this design is in thanks to digital signal processing technology, a world first for hand-held gauss meters, along with a dynamic probe correction which allows measurements from 0 - 20 kG with a basic accuracy of 1%. The 5177 Gauss Meter includes a laboratory-friendly, 4" axial probe (SAH17-1904) and an international AC adapter.
The 5100 Series Gauss Meters include a built-in software that eliminates the need for complex calibration procedures. The 5100 Series allows the user to choose between Gauss, Tesla, or Ampere/meter readings and features a corrected analog output (±3V FS). This series also features an auto-zeroing function, auto range, relative mode, and min./max./peak hold. The custom-formatted LCD user prompts aid in ease of operation.
