DEUTSCH DEUTSCH ENGLISH Operation Thank you for choosing a Testboy

130 is it possible to detect both static and changing magnetic fields. The Testboy

130 is therefore ideally suited for testing items such as solenoids or relays. Non-contact magnetic field detection The item being tested does not need to be dismantled or removed prior to testing. As a first step, the batteries should be func- tion tested as described below. Put the tip of the magnetic field tester next to the ob- ject to be tested (Fig. 1a). If the tip lights up, the object is magnetically activated. It is not required to stop machines and de- vices in order to test components.

Functional check Take the test magnet from the Testboy

130's clip and hold it close to the tip (1a) of the device, which should light up. If it does not light up, the batteries should be changed.Operation Testboy
