OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
For
THE BARTOL "MAG-PROBE" INSTRUMENT
FOR SENSING MAGNETIC FIELDS
CAUTION: Damage may result if the "Mag-Probe" is dropped.
GENERAL APPLICATIONS
ALL VOLTAGES (AC & DC)
SOLENOIDS, SOLENOID VALVES, RELAYS, REED RELAYS, COILS ROTARY SOLENOIDS, STEPPER SWITCHES, DETECTING RESIDUAL
MAGNETISM, COILS, TRANSIENT CURRENT PULSES, IDENTIFYING NORTH & SOUTH POLES, ETC.
SPECIFICATIONS
RESPONSE TIME - .01 SECOND
SENSITIVITY
STANDARD MODEL "S" - 3 GAUSS.
(FOR TROUBLE SHOOTING MINIATURE &
LARGER SOLENOIDS AND RELAYS.)
HIGH SENSITIVITY MODEL "HS" - 1 GAUSS.
(FOR TROUBLESHOOTING ALL SOLENOIDS AND
RELAYS, REGARDLESS OF SIZE AND ALL
AUTOMOTIVE APPLICATIONS.)
OPERATING FREQUENCY - DC TO 400 HZ
OPERATING TEMPRATURE -40F to +160F
SHELF LIFE - RETAINS 90% OF IT'S OPERATING CAPACITY
AFTER 3 YEARS.
OPERATING LIFE - 5000 FIVE SECOND TESTS.
SALT & MOISTURE PROOF
NO CALIBRATION REQUIRED
EXPLOSION PROOF
WATER PROOF
THE WHITE MAGNETIC SHIELD
ON THE "MAG-PROBE'S" TIP REDUCES THE CHANCE OF MAGNETIC FIELDS TURNING IT ON DURING STORAGE AND MUST BE REMOVED BEFORE USING. REPLACE THE
MAGNETIC SHIELD AFTER USING.
DO NOT STORE THE "MAG-PROBE" NEAR A PERMANENT MAGNET OR MAGNETIC FIELD.
A "MAG-PROBE" WILL NOT DETECT DEVICES ENCLOSED IN A MAGNETIC SHIELD. (MOST DEVICES AREN'T SHIELDED.)
YOU MAY SELF TEST THE "MAG-PROBE" WITH THE HIGH/LOW SENSITIVITY RING SUPPLIED WITH EACH UNIT.

TESTING AC & DC DEVICES WITHOUT
USING THE HIGH/LOW SENSITIVITY RING
1. HOLD THE "MAG-PROBE" AS SHOWN IN FIGURE 2.
2. PLACE THE TIP CLOSE TO OR ON THE SHAFT THAT PROJECTS THROUGH THE DEVICE'S COIL.
3. OBSERVE THE LED IN THE "MAG-PROBE'S" HANDLE.
4. IF THE LED IS ON, THE SOLENOID OR RELAY IS ENERGIZED.
5. IF THE LED IS OFF, THE SOLENOID OR RELAY IS DE-ENERGIZED.
6. IF THE LED TURNS ON AND OFF, AND FLOW THROUGH THE SOLENOID VALVE UNDER TEST IS NOT INTERRUPTED OR POWER THROUGH A RELAY'S CONTACTS DON'T TURN ON AND OFF, A MECHANICAL FAILURE HAS OCCURRED.
7. IF THE LED REMAINS OFF DURING MACHINE OPERATION, TWO POSSIBLE PROBLEMS EXIST.
A. NO POWER TO THE SOLENOID OR RELAY.
B. AN OPEN COIL
TO LOCATE THE PROBLEM, FIRST TEST THE POWER SOURCE, THEN THE SOLENOID OR RELAY COIL.
8. IF TRANSIT PULSES ARE SUSPECTED, HOLD THE PROBE TIP CLOSE TO OR ON THE SOLENOID OR RELAY AND
OBSERVE THE LED DURING A MACHINE CYCLE, IF TRANSIT PULSES ARE PRESENT DURING THE TIME THE SOLENOID OR RELAY SHOULD BE OFF, THE LED WILL FLASH ON AND OFF.
WITH A LITTLE PRACTICE, YOU'LL KNOW WHEN TO USE THE
HIGH/LOW SENSITIVITY RING IN ORDER TO TEST SUB-MINIATURE AND SMALLER DEVICES.
IF YOU NEED THE ADDED SENSITIVITY, INSTALL THE HIGH/LOW SENSITIVITY RING ACCORDING TO THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS.
