Magnetic Field Tester MS-410
Item No. 2181382
Instruction Manual

Intended Use

** The magnetic field tester is intended for detecting constant and alternating magnetic fields. The Tester is ideal for testing the functioning of inductors carrying currents, such as relays, magnetic valves, etc. The tester works with any contacts and, therefore, it is normally not necessary to open the casing. When a magnetic field is detected, the test tip starts to flash. A permanent test magnet, to test the functioning, is included in the delivery.
Additionally, the tester has an integrated LED lamp.
The magnetic field tester is powered by two micro-batteries. Do not use any other power source.
It is intended for indoor use only. Do not use it outdoors. Contact with moisture, e.g. in bathrooms, must be avoided under all circumstances.
For safety and approval purposes, you must not rebuild and/or modify this product. If you use the product for purposes other than those described above, the product may be damaged. In addition, improper use can result in short circuits, fires, electric shocks or other hazards. Read the instructions carefully and store them in a safe place. Make this product available to third parties only together with its operating instructions.
