General safety notes

WARNING

Unauthorized changes or modifications of the instrument are forbidden – such changes put the approval (CE) and safety of the instrument at risk.

WARNING

Please observe the following information before using the instrument:

Do not operate the instrument in the proximity of electrical welders, induction heaters and other electromagnetic fields.
After an abrupt temperature fluctuation, the instrument should be allowed to adjust to the new temperature for about 30 minutes before using it. This helps to stabilize the IR sensor.

Measurement instruments and their accessories are not toys. Children should never be allowed access to them!
In industrial institutions, you must follow the accident prevention regulations for electrical facilities and equipment, as established by your employer's liability insurance organization.

Please observe the following five safety rules:

1 Disconnect.
2 Ensure that the instrument cannot be turned back on again.
3 Ensure isolation from the main supply voltage (check that there is no voltage on both poles).
4 Earth and short-circuit.
5 Cover neighbouring parts that are under live electrical load.

Operation

Thank you for choosing a Testboy® 130.

Using the 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 function tested as described below. Put the tip of the magnetic field tester next to the object to be tested (Fig. 1a). If the tip lights up, the object is magnetically activated. It is not required to stop machines and devices in order to test components.

TESTBOY 130 CE 1b 2 1a

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.

Flashlight

Turn on the built-in flashlight with the switch (1b). Using a high-performance LED a burning time of up to 60 hours per set of batteries is possible! The life of the LED is over 100,000 hours.

Changing the batteries

Insert a screwdriver in to the notch (2) and pry the battery compartment cover off. Make sure you insert the batteries the right way round!

Do not dispose of batteries in normal household rubbish! Use an authorised local collection point!
