Parker Research Corp B300UF Operating Instructions

The B300UF Contour Probe is a rugged high performance instrument for Magnetic Particle
inspection to accepted Nondestructive testing standards. Certain operating procedures and safety
precautions should be observed.
INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION: Basically, the B300UF Contour Probe is an electromagnet
producing a strong magnetic field. Placement of the two poles (legs) upon ferrous metal provides a
path for the intense magnetic field to pass from one pole to the other. The part completes the flux
path and becomes highly magnetized. The model B300UF produces a strong constant AC field. All
Parker Contour Probes are designed with flexible legs that allow the field to be "focused" at a
precise area of inspection. The maximum leg spacing is 12". (304.8mm). The B300UF Contour
Probe comes equipped with a 25' (7.62 m) power cord.
The B300UF is for use on 115 VAC 60 Hz, single phase grounded power source.
The model 14880R GFCI Plug is designed to break the electrical circuit from the B300UF in the
event of damage to the instrument or power cord. The GFCI Plug should be tested before each
use by following the instructions printed here and on the GFCI Plug.
1. Plug the GFCI into power receptacle.
2. Press Reset Button.
3. Press Test Button. Red Indicator should appear.
4. Press Reset Button again for use.
5. CAUTION: DO NOT USE IF TEST FAILS
