WARNING !! - This device uses extremely strong NEODYMIUM magnets. These magnets can cause injury or
damage if misused. KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN!!. DO NOT OPEN or USE if you have a pacemaker or
other medical condition that may be affected by magnetic fields. The strong magnetic fields can erase computer
hard drives, magnetic access and credit cards, Use at your own RISK.
MAG-ic Tech or its owners neither assumes nor accepts any liability for damages resulting from the handling or
use of this equipment. With your purchase, the buyer agrees that he/she is responsible for all damages and
injuries caused by the use of this product , which include personal injuries , property damages and any other
damage whatsoever. The buyer must agree with the terms before using the product.
Pay special attention when using this device to measure finished instruments. The probe tip is fabricated from
Plastic 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
MAG-ic Probe uses magnetism to penetrate the material to be measured. A
probe is applied to one surface of the plate and a ball is applied to the opposite
side. These attract each other so when the probe is moved along the surface of
the material, the magnetic ball follows underneath and the MAG-ic Probe tool
will measure and display the thickness in both mils (1/1000th inch) and
millimeters (mm)
MAG-ic Probe WiFi is the newest variation of the MAG-ic Probe product line.
MAG-ic Probe WiFi features wireless communication to any device that has
WiFi capability including Smartphones, Computers and Tablets.
The device features -
•
All in one construction - less wear & tear
•
a USB connection for power and connection to a computer for use with the
MAG-ic Probe Software or to a battery for mobile use.
MAG-ic Probe WiFi is supplied with -
•
USB Cable
•
USB Battery pack for mobile use when not near a computer.
•
1/2" Sphere magnet
•
1/4" x 1/2" cylinder magnet
MAG-ic Probe can measure 0-600mils (0.6") (0-15mm) using the 1/2" Sphere
magnet and 0-420mils (0.42") (0-10mm) using the 1/4" cylinder. The cylinder is
used where access is restricted for example in violins, mandolins and violas.
Use the 1/2" sphere wherever possible.

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 In all of these cases, you simply need a display to show you the measurements in real-time. MAG-ic Probe can use WiFi technology to provide those measurements on your phone or tablet or if you favor the extremely simple solution then our new MAG-ic Probe Display unit will interest you.
- Page 3 MAG-ic Probe Sequence of operation. MAG-ic Probe uses a sensor to measure the magnetic field strength of a target magnet, which varies according to distance from the probe. The signal levels being measured are extremely small and magnets are sensitive to changing temperatures.
- Page 4 MAG-ic Probe PRO Software will allow you to take this a step further and actually produce a color contour map of the surface you measured. This is a unique way to visualize the surface contour and is ideal to compare different instruments at a glance.

Connect the MAG-ic Probe WiFi 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 6 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 7 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.

For advanced users - If you prefer your MAG-ic Probe to join your Home WI-Fi, then follow the instructions on the next page.
- Page 12 However while your phone/tablet is connected to the MAG-ic Probe AP, it is disconnected from your home WiFi. If this is not desirable even for the short periods that you are measuring, it is possible to have MAG-ic Probe join your home WiFi.

Page 13: Usage Tips
Usage Tips MAG-ic Probe WiFi 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.
