SAFETY
Always keep a safe distance between the magnet and the following equipment
:
When applying the magnet (whether by hand or from an ROV), keep the release screw in its extended position to reduce the force of impact when it meets a steel surface. Do not put your fingers under the magnet. Be aware that the magnetic holding force may be reduced due to corrosion, paint, uneven steel surfaces, marine growth, steel thicknesses, alloy type and pulling angle. Do not suspend yourself from the magnet or in any other way put yourself in danger should the magnet lose its grip. Likewise, refrain from suspending objects that may cause injury or damage if the magnet is unable to maintain its hold.
OPERATION
The grip bar (B) is the primary interface for the ROV, intended as an anchoring point or for holding the magnet. The two flex joints (D) are intended to reduce the forces transferred to the ROV. The magnet can be fitted with two release screws (C). Only one is needed for operation. When applying the magnet on a steel surface, keep the release screw(s) in the extended position to reduce the force of impact, then turn the screw(s) anticlockwise until the magnetic modules (E) are in full contact with the surface. The magnet is released by turning the release screw(s) clockwise. The magnetic modules are hinged, allowing Moby to be attached to a tubular element.
Safety Guidelines
Always maintain a safe distance between the magnet and the following
equipment:
- Pacemakers or other electronic life-sustaining equipment: 2m / 7 feet
- Other magnets, steel surfaces, and tools (except intentional): 400mm / 16 inches
- Sensitive electronic and magnetic equipment such as phones, compasses, stripe cards, and hard drives
Applying the Magnet
When applying the magnet (by hand or from an ROV), follow these steps:
- Keep the release screw in its extended position to reduce the force of impact when it meets a steel surface.
- Avoid putting fingers under the magnet during application.
Factors Affecting Holding Force
Be aware that the magnetic holding force may be affected by various factors
such as corrosion, paint, uneven steel surfaces, marine growth, steel
thicknesses, alloy type, and pulling angle.
Usage Precautions
Do not suspend yourself from the magnet or put yourself in danger if the
magnet loses its grip. Avoid suspending objects that may cause injury or
damage if the magnet is unable to maintain its hold.
