Usage Tips
MAG-ic Probe is capable of measuring very small distances to 1/1000th inch. It
should make sense then that the probe should be absolutely square to the surface
being measured and the opposing magnet. If the probe is slightly tilted, the
distance from the center of the probe will be slightly farther from the magnet and
introduce false readings. It is a good idea to use the
HOLD
mode to ensure the
lowest reading by making small rocking and circling motions at each measuring
location.
IMPORTANT. MAG-ic Probe makes approximately 100 measurements per second
but uses an advanced internal algorithm to average out the readings to ensure a
smoother display and more stable output. This is the reason that the change in
displayed values will seem to LAG behind rapid changes made between the probe
and magnet. Consequently it is important that you pause at every measuring
location to allow the output reading to stabilize. This should also be considered
when using the HOLD mode.
Ÿ
Turn OFF the unit when not in use to conserve battery life
Ÿ
Take care of the magnets, they are fragile and will shatter or splinter if allowed to snap onto each
other or metal objects.
Ÿ
Ensure your instrument does not contain any metallic objects to which the internal magnets can be
attracted. Removing a magnet from a finished instrument can be difficult.
Ÿ
Do not drag the probe across finished surfaces. Either lift the probe slightly from the surface before
moving to a new location, or insert a protective material under the probe before moving.
Ÿ
Use the larger magnet if possible. This will provide the highest resolution because of a stronger
magnetic field.
Ÿ
Only connect and remove the Probe connector when the unit is completely powered off. If this is
attempted while the unit is powered, damage may occur.
Ÿ
Avoid temperature changes after calibration.
