3. ELF Models ELF 2 und ELF 6 do not offer any kind of frequency selection These antennas are usable over the full frequency range from 1Hz to 9kHz without selection HW 2015 Aaronia AG DE 54597 Strickscheid Manual Magno TRACKER 4 1 Control dials x1 to x1000 and Big control dial 0 15 With the control dials the center frequency can be adjusted Turn left for high frequency The more you turn right the lower the frequency will get tuning more finely with Big control dial in the middle For better understanding of the functionality it is recommended to connect the antenna to a spectrum analyzer and start a quick sweep with 9 kHz to 1MHz Span Then you will understand more clear on the operation modes of the antenna 4 2 Slide switches 1 to 4 With 2 Slide switches 1 4 the antenna can be adjusted to 4 different internal antennas here both Slide switches must always have the same position The higher frequency you want the smaller setting you should choose 1 high frequency 4 low frequency see page 11 5 Application Example The MagnoTRACKER is a magnetic field antenna The antenna is not suitable for measurements of electric fields One of the typical application areas of the MagnoTRACKER is the detection of disturbing signals e g on telecom wires like DSL ADSL etc which are generated e g from switching power supplies Further typical application areas would be amateur radio reception from su
4. ON OFF Switch ON OFF LED Power Supply Connector Battery Power supply All MagnoTRACKER antennas are by default equipped with an internal 25dB preamplifier These internal preamplifiers come with LiPo Battery which has 3 4 hours runtime The charging time for the LiPo Battery is about 90 minutes The Charge LED will turn red in the beginning of charging When charging is completed the Charge LED turns off When the antenna is turned on the ON OFF LED lights red By pressing the ON OFF switch you can turn on and off the antenna For a continuous operation the included power supply can be used HW 2015 Aaronia AG DE 54597 Strickscheid Manual Magno TRACKER 4 Frequency Selection Big control dial Fine adjustment 0 15 o all FA switch pr d Slide switch ay E X AXIS TE LE 4 x1 ale dial Control dial Control dial Control dial x10 x100 x1000 The Selection can be done by choosing four control dials which cover four different scopes respectively x1 x10 x100 x1000 A fine adjustment can be done by the big control dial 0 15 The frequency selection of this antenna is very accurate so that the disturbing and uninteresting signals will be reduced very efficiently The antenna has a SMA connector as output with 50 Ohm impedance You can simply connect the antenna to your receiver spectrum analyzer oscilloscope power meter etc Attention The MagnoTRACKER
