Description
TES-3196 AC/DC Gauss Meter is a precision handheld instrument designed for measuring both static (DC) and alternating (AC) magnetic fields with high accuracy. It uses a uniaxial transverse Hall effect probe with an integrated temperature sensor to automatically compensate for temperature variations, ensuring reliable readings across a wide range of environments. The meter supports measurement in Gauss, milliTesla, and Ampere/meter units, with ranges up to 30,000 G (3,000 mT) for DC and 20,000 G (2,000 mT) for AC, offering resolutions from 0.01 mT to 1 G depending on the range. Users can store up to 99 data sets manually, and the device provides maximum, minimum, and hold functions for thorough analysis.
Equipped with advanced features such as AC Trms measurement, DC zeroing, vector summation across X, Y, and Z axes, and configurable high/low alarm limits, the TES-3196 is ideal for a variety of industrial, scientific, and maintenance applications. It comes with a backlit LCD, automatic power-off, and is powered by four AA batteries or an optional 6 V AC adapter with approximately 8 hours of battery life. Typical uses include evaluating electromagnetic fields in household appliances, motors, permanent magnets, steel materials, and monitoring residual magnetism in processed machine parts, making it a versatile tool for both field and laboratory environments.
