General

The GSM-8 proton magnetometer is a lightweight one gamma proton precession magnetometer designed primarily for hand-held and base station operations, but adaptable for other earth magnetic field measurements like airborne/marine surveys, pipe and cable detection, tracking, etc.

The instrument's power consumption, size and weight have been minimized to make it one of the world's lightest and most compact one gamma proton precession magnetometers.

Rugged, wide temperature range liquid crystal display allows for easy reading in bright sunlight. The all metal construction ensures long life even in the roughest of field conditions.

Flexible design of electronics enables this magnetometer to have a wide selection of cycling speeds and other necessary features for almost universal earth field measurements. The complete self-test feature ensures reliable operation and early warning of instrument malfunction due to interferences such as excessive field gradient, electromagnetic radiation, or internal breakdown.
