1 General Information
This chapter gives an introduction to the fluxmeter EF 14. The EF 14 is a multi-purpose, fully
equipped electronic fluxmeter. Depending on the measuring coil attached, various
measurements can be carried out.
If you have just received your EF 14, make sure you familiarize yourself with the safety
instruction in this chapter and the instructions for taking the EF 14 into operation in chapter 2.
The complete and detailed user information on the instrument and the measuring modes can be
found in chapters 3, 4 and 5. Chapter 6 deals in detail with the remote control of the EF 14 by
means of the serial interface. The connectors of the EF 14 are described in chapter 7.
1.1 Safety Instructions
The following general safety measures must be adhered to at all times when the device is in use,
being serviced or being repaired. Failure to observe these measures, or warnings given in other
parts of these instructions, may influence the safety standards of the construction. MAGNET-
PHYSIK Dr. Steingroever GmbH, Cologne, will accept no responsibility should the customer
neglect the prescribed safety instructions.
Special safety instructions, whose non-observance may lead to injuries and/or property damage,
as well as important hints, are marked within these operating instructions as follows:
Danger!
Means that serious bodily injury resulting in death or considerable material
damage may occur if the appropriate safety measures are not taken.
Warning!
Means that serious bodily injury or considerable material damage may occur
if the appropriate safety measures are not taken.
Caution!
Means that light bodily injury or material damage may occur if the
appropriate safety measures are not taken.
Important!
Indicates important information which is to be paid particular attention.

1.1.1 Intended Purpose
Important!
It must be explicitly stated that the Electronic Fluxmeter EF 14 is to be used
only for its intended purpose.
The intended purpose of the EF 14 is the measurement of magnetic flux
and quantities that can be derived from this, by means of measuring
coils.
Every application not in accordance with this intended purpose is prohibited
and implies the deliberate dealing with non-calculable risks for both the
operator as well as the equipment.
Unauthorized reconstruction of and/or alterations to the equipment are
forbidden for safety reasons!
The instructions as stipulated in this operating manual for operation and installation are to be
strictly observed!
1.1.2 Sources of Danger
Danger!
To minimize the danger of electric shock the device casing must always be
grounded. The device must be connected to an approved 3-pole socket using
a 3-wire power cord. Care must be taken that the grounding wire is securely
connected to an electrical ground (PE).
Danger!
Under no circumstances the instrument must come into contact with liquid
mediums, such as water, oil, etc. If in spite of all precautions taken, such a
medium comes into contact with the electronics of the EF 14, there is
considerable danger for the operation of the device. In this case the device
must be shut down immediately.
The equipment must always be switched off when being cleaned.
Never clean with water! Use dry cloths only for cleaning!
Danger!
The measuring coil must never be brought into contact with an electrical
voltage conductor. The sleeve or paint on the coil surface is not an electrical
insulation. Disregard of this warning can cause danger to life of the user.
Additionally the device and the coil can be damaged.

Danger!
Do Not Operate In An Explosive Atmosphere
Do not operate the instrument in the presence of flammable gases or fumes.
Operation of any electrical instrument in such an environment constitutes a
definite safety hazard.
Caution!
Keep Away From Live Circuits
Operating personnel must not remove instrument covers. Component
replacement and internal adjustments must be made by qualified
maintenance personnel. Do not replace components with power cable
connected. To avoid injuries, always disconnect power and discharge
circuits before touching them.
Caution!
Do Not Substitute Parts Or Modify Instrument
Due to the risk of electrostatic discharge and because of the danger of
introducing additional hazards, do not install substitute parts or perform any
unauthorized modification to the instrument. Return the instrument to
MAGNET-PHYSIK Dr. Steingroever GmbH, Cologne, Germany or an
authorized representative for service and repair to ensure that safety features
are maintained.
1.1.3 Authorized Operator
The EF 14 may only be used and connected by personnel authorized by owner.
The owner must in this case:
place operating instructions at the operator's disposal at all times and
make sure the operator has read and understood them.
1.1.4 Place of Installation
No special safety measures are necessary at the place of installation.
Important!
The EF 14 must always be placed on a solid base, e.g. a table.
Never operate the equipment in places where one or more of the limiting
values for t
he ambient conditions are exceeded.

1.1.5 Safety Checks
All safety checks as described here must be carried out regularly and carefully. Please use the
checklist “General Check” for safety checks
Check Intervals:
Once a year and
after every repair

Important!
We recommend having the instrument and, if appropriate, the measuring
coils periodically recalibrated to ensure traceability of the measuring results.
The suitable recalibration interval depends on the operating conditions and of the quality
management stipulations of the owner. Intervals of one to two years are usual, depending
whether the instrument is continuously used in rough production environment or from time to
time under laboratory conditions.

1.1.6 Emergency Measures
In the case of emergency, when all safety instructions fail, disconnect the device from the
power supply and proceed as follows:
Important!
Take emergency measures, such as “First-aid“, securing the device and
work place against further use and finally write the case report.
1.2 Instrument Description
The EF 14 is easy to operate via the front panel keys and has an easily readable LC display. The
alphanumerical display allows user control supported by help texts.
To use the EF 14, a suitable measuring coil must be connected to the input. The following coil
types are most frequently used:
Field measuring coils, often also called search coils, are used for the measurement of the
magnetic field strength or flux density at the pole faces or in air gaps of magnet systems.
They have defined area turns, usually given in cm². Field measuring coils with particularly
small dimensions are also referred to as point coils. To measure the flux density in the air
gap of loudspeaker systems, stray field compensated coils are used.
Potential measuring coils are required to measure magnetic potentials on magnets or
magnet systems. The measuring results can be used to determine where losses occur in a
magnet system. Furthermore the inner field strength of a magnet can be determined with a
potential measuring coil.
Moment measuring coils, particularly Helmholtz coils, allow the determination of the
magnetic moment, dipole moment and polarization of two-pole magnetized components of
hard magnetic materials. Measurement with a moment coil is a particularly fast method
which is frequently employed in quality control. The combination of a moment measuring
coil with a field generating system is referred to as a saturation coil. It can be used to
determine the saturation polarization of soft magnetic materials.
Surrounding coils are used to measure the magnetic polarization of permanent magnets or
soft magnetic magnetized parts. They are mostly used in measuring systems like the
PERMAGRAPH® or the REMAGRAPH® to record the magnetization curve.
The EF 14 is a highly sensitive electronic measuring instrument for the measurement of
magnetic flux. For this reason the measuring results may be influenced by electromagne-
tic stray fields.
