Current Balance and Accessory

STORAGE

(see Figure 9)

When storing your SF-8607 Basic Current Balance, we
recommend that you alternate the magnets so they have their
north poles next to south poles for maximum retention of
field strength. The Magnet Assembly from the SF-8608
Current Balance Accessory should have a “keeper” made of
soft iron placed across the pole pieces to help retain the
magnetism of the magnets.
