Delrin and may scratch or leave marks on finished surfaces.
DO NOT DRAG THE PROBE TIP OVER FINISHED SURFACES!! To avoid scratches and marks, you should
slightly lift the probe before moving it. A good method is to lift the tip and place a piece of soft cloth under before
moving and removing the cloth at the new measuring location.
Some users prefer to use a rice paper or other thin protective paper. You can also calibrate MAG-ic probe with
the rice paper inserted between the magnet and the probe. In this way the zero (0.00) value would include the
paper thickness and all measurements must be performed with the paper included.
You can also use the OFFSET function in the MAG-ic Probe Software to compensate for a thicker protective
cloth if required

  • Page 1 Some users prefer to use a rice paper or other thin protective paper. You can also calibrate MAG-ic probe with the rice paper inserted between the magnet and the probe. In this way the zero (0.00) value would include the paper thickness and all measurements must be performed with the paper included.
  • Page 2 MAG-ic Probe Lite allows you to upload a photo or drawing of the object to the computer and plot all your measurements directly to the picture. This can then be printed or saved for future reference and comparison.
  • Page 3: Usb Serial Connection

    Connect the MAG-ic Probe BLE to your computer USB port and you should hear the computer beep and proceed as above. Once you have the correct COM Port # you can proceed to open the MAG-ic Probe Software you downloaded from the previous section.
  • Page 4 If in the list, you find usbSerial ports similar to the format above, please note or copy the entire string for example /dev/cu.usbserial-6AD4BE In the MAG-ic Probe Software, click on Port Selection and Recalibration and select Serial Port. Select or type the entire line from above. If successful, the green light in the top right should light up and the calibration messages will appear in the center of the screen.
  • Page 5 MAG-ic Probe uses extremely strong Neodymium magnets. These magnets are brittle and can chip if mishandled. Each MAG-ic Probe is carefully calibrated to the magnets supplied with it. a Large chip may affect the accuracy of the device. The biggest cause of magnets chipping is when the 2 supplied magnets are allowed to SNAP together or to steel objects.

  • Page 8: Usage Tips

    Usage Tips MAG-ic Probe BLE is capable of measuring very small distances to 1/1000th inch. It should make sense then that the probe should be absolutely square to the surface being measured and the opposing magnet. If the probe is slightly tilted, the distance from the center of the probe to the target magnet will be slightly increased giving rise to incorrect measurements.
