Procedure 5.1 - Measuring the Resistance of an Eddy Current
Caution
Remove power from the EFX before you measure magnet resistance.
Procedure
1. Set the on/off switch in the "off" position, then unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
WARNING
Before continuing with this procedure, review the Warning and Caution statements listed in
Section One, Things You Should Know.
1. Remove the rear cover as described in Procedure 7.1.
Set the ohmmeter to a range that will conveniently read up to 125 Ω.
2.
3. Disconnect the magnet wires from the magnet using the quick disconnects shown in the
Diagram 5.1 or Diagram 5.2, below. Measure the resistance between the two magnet wires.
