INTRODUCTION The ferrite content meter List-Magnetik FERRITE-CHECK 240 is an easy-to-use instrument with color display and external probe for measuring the ferrite content in austenitic and duplex steels according to the Basel standard DIN EN ISO 8249 using the magnetic induction method.
UIDE • First connect the probe cable to the probe and the instrument. • Turn on the FERRITE-CHECK 240 with the red power button. • The device is factory-calibrated. • The probe will be recognized by the instrument and the model will be automati- cally displayed in the upper left corner of the status bar.
The status bar shows the title of the current menu position and the battery status. The statistics area displays statistics for a series of measurements. If no memory batch is active, the List-Magnetik logo is displayed here. In the center is the measurement display with the current measurement and addi- tional information about it.
This section allows you to set the language, unit of measure, and other measurement and display parameters, as well as power management settings. Info and System Turn off the unit, view hardware and software status, or perform a factory reset. List-Magnetik GmbH EN FERRITE-CHECK 240 2025-02.doc...
The point-to-point measurement, without special functions such as scan measure- ment or continuous measurement, the FERRITE-CHECK 240 displays a measured value as soon as the probe is placed. Take slow readings, allowing one second between readings and lifting the probe 10 cm from the material between readings.

Memory batch number 4 is active (M4). There are 7 memory batches in total (4/7). A total of 12 values are stored in this batch. Maximum, minimum, average and standard deviation are calculated from these 12 values. The last stored value was 105.4. List-Magnetik GmbH EN FERRITE-CHECK 240 2025-02.doc...
Fe% with the instrument, you must first change the measurement unit to FN. Only then will the reference value be displayed on the action button to match the standard. Actions Overview of the Calibration Display Action Area. List-Magnetik GmbH EN FERRITE-CHECK 240 2025-02.doc...

The instrument is now ready for measurement. The calibration just created can be saved as a calibration profile (with the floppy disk icon). List-Magnetik GmbH EN FERRITE-CHECK 240 2025-02.doc...
In addition to the entered text and the set foil thickness, the internal data of the calibration curve is also displayed. Selection of a calibration profile for use immediately Deletion of the calibration profile currently displayed List-Magnetik GmbH EN FERRITE-CHECK 240 2025-02.doc...
Approximately 5-6 measurements per second are performed automatically. The measurement is shown graphically on the display. In the statistics display, the count, minimum, maximum and average values are calculated and displayed. List-Magnetik GmbH EN FERRITE-CHECK 240 2025-02.doc...

You can create as many scan memories as you like. The memories get a unique free number and a prefixed "S". Browse through previously saved scans. Statistics, short text and graphical progress curve are displayed. Delete the currently displayed scan List-Magnetik GmbH EN FERRITE-CHECK 240 2025-02.doc...
If you have not created or activated a memory batch, not all results will be stored. The floppy disk symbol is then not visible during continuous measurement. Actions Overview of the data log management action area. List-Magnetik GmbH EN FERRITE-CHECK 240 2025-02.doc...

The additional text entered will be displayed. You can view the individual values by clicking on the navigation icon of the data log. Selection of a memory batch, for use immediately Deletion of the currently displayed memory batch List-Magnetik GmbH EN FERRITE-CHECK 240 2025-02.doc...
The trash can icon deletes the entire series of measurements. The memory batch remains active, however, so that further measurements will be written to this memory batch. If an individual reading is inactive, it can be permanently deleted by clicking the scissors icon. List-Magnetik GmbH EN FERRITE-CHECK 240 2025-02.doc...
You can set the automatic shutdown time: 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 30 minutes or "never off" if you do not want the device to turn off automatically. The power save mode switches the brightness back to 10% after 1 minute. List-Magnetik GmbH EN FERRITE-CHECK 240 2025-02.doc...
Auto Save, you must deactivate the Disk button. If Auto Save is turned off, the measurement can be saved one at a time in the punctual measurement by pressing the floppy disk button. List-Magnetik GmbH EN FERRITE-CHECK 240 2025-02.doc...
A note about the input dialog: The previous value is displayed lighter. You must either enter a new value and con- firm it with the check mark, or cancel the entry with the keyboard icon. List-Magnetik GmbH EN FERRITE-CHECK 240 2025-02.doc...
Upper limit value exceeded: measured value red Falling below the lower limit: measured value blue The color change occurs both in the measurement display and in the data logger. List-Magnetik GmbH EN FERRITE-CHECK 240 2025-02.doc...

The List-Magnetik instruments MP-4000 (magnetic field measurement), FerroPro compact (permeability measurement), MEGA-CHECK DX (coating thickness measurement), FERRITE-CHECK 240 (ferrite content measurement) and FLUX- CHECK 250 (fluxmeter) are equipped with an SCPI interface, which allows the instrument to perform remote measurements in line operation and to provide measured values. The connection is made via USB, which also ensures power supply and continuous operation.
HANGE OF THE PROBE To change the probe, switch off the device first. Then connect the desired probe to the probe cable and switch on the device again. List-Magnetik GmbH EN FERRITE-CHECK 240 2025-02.doc...
