INSTALLING THE!
HIGH/LOW SENSITIVITY RING!
!
Note - When testing extremely small
magnetic fields such as sub-miniature
solenoids and relays, the high sensitivity ring
must be used.!
!
!
1. Hold the high sensitivity ring between the
index finger and thumb with the white dot
on the ring toward the palm of your left
hand. (see figure 3)
!
2. Slide the ring onto the tip toward the
body of the
"Mag-Probe"
LED goes out the first time. (see figure 4)
!
3. Continue sliding the ring toward the
"Mag-Probe" body until the LED turns on
and then off for the second time (See
figure 5). Now the "Mag-Probe" is
adjusted for high sensitivity. To be sure
you have the highest sensitivity
obtainable, slide the ring back until the
light immediately turns on. Then with the
tip of the index finger and thumb pressed
against the ring (figure 3), use a slight
pinching motion to move the ring toward
the body of the "Mag-Probe". Release
immediately as soon as the LED turns
off. Remember, figure 5 is the correct
position.!

!
Note: Any movement of the ring after the
LED goes out will decrease the sensitivity.!
Caution:!
To avoid false indications when using the
high sensitivity ring, the ring must not touch
a metal surface, but you may touch a metal
surface with the mag probes tip.!
Remember:!
First try your
sensitivity ring. Then, if you need the high
sensitivity to detect the device under test,
slip on the ring. !

TESTING AC POWERED DEVICES WITH THE
until the red
HIGH/LOW SENSITIVITY RING INSTALLED!
!
You won't have any problems testing any AC
powered device regardless of which end or
side you test just as long as the field
strength is within the
sensitivity range. !
