Sep 29, 2009 Providing permanent registration of magnetic field presence, Magnetic Field Indicators can be used to identify tampering with water meters, watt-hour meters, and gas meters using external magnetic field. One-threshold Model MFI-3 registers magnetic field coming from neodymium magnets, while 2-threshold Model MFI-4 registers magnetic field coming from ferrite magnets and neodymium magnets. Both can be installed on internal or external surface of measuring device.

Jan 16, 2004 Utilizing magnetoresistive-based passive sensing technology, M-GAGE® S18M detects 3-dimensional changes in Earth's magnetic field when presence of large metal objects such as car, truck, or railcar is introduced, causing sensor's output to switch. Unlike inductive loop technologies, self-contained sensor functions as receiver and has no external controller. Program commands can be entered through pushbutton on sensor or via portable programming box when sensor is inaccessible.
