Overview

The 5100 Series Hall effect portable gaussmeters represent the most recent design which incorporates the use of digital signal processing technology, making it the world’s first hand-held gaussmeter to have a digital signal processor (DSP) on board. F.W. Bell’s exclusive Dynamic Probe Correction allows measurements from 0 to 30 kG with a basic accuracy of 1%. Its built-in software eliminates the need for complex calibration procedures. User prompts on the custom formatted LCD allow fast, simple push button operation. All models come equipped with a detachable transverse probe, zero gauss chamber, instruction manual, hard carrying case, and four AA batteries. Axial, ultra thin transverse and low-field probes are available as options. All instruments are CE compliant.
