Remote Operation Set-up
For remote operation, turn off bath applicator ball valve and Auto-bath button, clamp contact block between
headstock and tailstock; then connect remote cables. Use Optional clamps, prods or cable wraps to magnetize
parts for inspection.

Central Conductor Set-up
If parts are hollow, tubular, ring-like, or have holes, it is generally better to magnetize them using a central
conductor rather than passing current directly through them. This method also reveals defects on the inside
diameter of the part. The central conductor is placed through a part that is clamped between the headstock
and tailstock. Circular Magnetization is accomplished by passing current through the central conductor. This is
shown above in Figure 3-7.
MAGNETIZING PROCEDURES
Without Auto-Bath:
All controls and indicators are illustrated in 3-2, 3-3, 3-4, and 3-5.
1. Clamp the part as described in PIECE PART SETUP.
WARNING:
Set current at the appropriate
level for the part cross section to avoid overheating.
2. Press the COIL or CONTACT push-button to input the desired magnetizing circuit.
3. Set the amperage using the appropriate current control or use the AMPERAGE SETPOINT on the HMI
to a desired value.
