FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN INJURY. INTRODUCTION The DA1500DR Magnetic Inspection Unit is a portable power pack designed to furnish high amperage, low voltage AC current and Half-Wave rectified (DC) current for Magnetic Particle inspection. It features infinitely variable magnetizing and demagnetizing current.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION The DA1500DR is an extremely rugged and compact Magnetic Inspection unit. All operating controls and output terminals are located on the front panel. Two carrying handles are provided. One on the rear of the unit; the other is a swivel handle located at the front of the unit.
230 volts and 23 amperes at 460 volts. Check "Data Nameplate" on the unit for correct operating voltage. The DA1500DR is sold without a power cord plug. Only locally approved plugs with the proper rating should be used and installed by certified personnel.

CURRENT CONTROL/RED PILOT LIGHT This is the main switch, located next to the ammeter on the front panel. With the current control in any position other than "Off", the red pilot light will glow indicating that the unit is ready for operation. Current values will be indicated by the digital ammeter reading when the external magnetizing circuit (loop) is complete.
OPERATION COIL MAGNETIZATION 1. Attach (2) 15' lengths of 4/O cable to the appropriate connectors of the front panel. 2. Wrap three turns of a 15 foot cable around or through the part to be inspected. Connect in series with the two other cables to form a 30 foot closed circuit. 3.
