The B200 and B200S Contour Probes are rugged high performance instruments for Magnetic
Particle inspection to accepted Nondestructive testing standards. Certain operating procedures
and safety precautions should be observed.
INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION: Basically, the 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. Models B200 and B200S produce strong constant AC fields. 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 in. (304.8mm). All 200 series Contour
Probes come equipped with a 10' (3.048 m) power cord.
The B200 is for use on 115 VAC 60 Hz, single phase grounded power source. Using an approved
GFCI is recommended.
The B200S is for use on 230 VAC 50-60 Hz, single phase grounded power source. The B200S is
sold without a power cord plug. Only locally approved plugs should be used and installed by
certified personnel. Using an approved GFCI is recommended.
