GRD MAGNETOMETER
« Thread Started on Jun 28, 2009, 11:35am »
General Racing Design (GRD) have sent me their Magnetometer to check out before it is sent to Kdog and given away to the Gasser Summer Nationals champ in August.

Gasser Nat's sign up and info.

This tool is to measure the strength and polarity of your slot car magnets and will work on 1/24 scale slots to R/C motors. it will display the results on the readout telling your the polarity North or South and strength measured in units of Gauss.

Features:

Portable
light weight
compact
Much less expensive than laboratory grade
Dual line readout with back light
LED polarity indicator
Max reading hold
Incorrect battery installment protection
Aprox 1950 south to 1950 north Gauss range
Microprocessor controlled, Self calibrating


The guys at GRD know how to ship and care for their products. Very well packaged.

One of the first things you will notice is the appearance of this meter. GRD has done a great job on making their meter stand out above the rest by placing their cool logo on the front of the meter. When you turn it on the Back Lighted LCD panel greets you with custom ID that can be set up by GRD. This particular one has been set up for the Gasser champ and reads " Gasser 1st Place"

Operation of this Meter is simple. It comes with a "Operation Manual" that is easy to read and understand.

Some of the features

My favorite feature is the max reading and polarity of the current test. It will hold the max number until you reset the meter for the next test.

Many motor builders say that the strength, and the two magnets being equal
is very important. You can also use this tool to find magnets that need Zapping
and verify the results. It will also indicate witch is north or south pole.

For serious tuning this is a must and it is definitely on my wish list.

Also shown is another very cool product, their ADJUSTABLE controller. Drop these guys a line for more info on their race products. www.grdracing.com
