GENERAL
DESCRIPTION
The DA1500 is a extremely rugged and compact Magnetic Inspection unit.
All operating controls and output terminals are located on the front panel. Two carrying
handles are provided. One on the rear of the unit; the other is a swivel handle located at the
front of the unit. This handle may also be positioned to raise the front of the unit for ease of
meter reading and operation.
Current output is approximately 1500 amperes low voltage A.C. and approximately 1500
amperes half-wave D.C. The current output is based on the use of 30 feet (two 15') cables as a
load. Current levels will vary dependent on cable length.
Optional magnetizing cables can be equipped with prods for circular magnetization. The cables
can also be wrapped around parts to form a "coil" for longitudinal magnetization.
Demagnetization is accomplished in a similar manner.
