Magnetic Field Tester MS-410
Item No. 2181382
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, mag-
netic 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 bath-
rooms, 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.

a) General Information
• The device is not a toy. Keep it out of the reach of children and pets.
• Do not leave packaging material lying around carelessly. This may become dan-
gerous playing material for children.
• Protect the appliance from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, strong jolts, high
humidity, moisture, flammable gases, steam and solvents.
• Do not place the product under any mechanical stress.
• If it is no longer possible to operate the product safely, take it out of operation and
protect it from any accidental use. Safe operation can no longer be guaranteed
if the product:
- is visibly damaged,
- is no longer working properly,
- has been stored for extended periods in poor ambient conditions or
- has been subjected to any serious transport-related stresses.
• Please handle the product carefully. Jolts, impacts or a fall even from a low height
can damage the product.
• Extra care should be taken when using the device for the first time. Therefore,
please follow the operating instructions carefully.
• Only hold the magnetic field tester by its handles. Never take hold of the device
beyond the raised markings on the handles.
• The device contains magnetic components. Keep these parts away from people
with sensitive implants (e.g. cardiac pacemakers, etc.).
• Apart from opening the battery compartment lid, the the magnetic field tester's
casing must not be taken apart.
• Keep the magnetic field tester clean and store it in suitable place.
• Consult an expert when in doubt about the operation, safety or connection of the
appliance.
• Maintenance, modifications and repairs must only be completed by a technician
or an authorised repair centre.
• If you have questions which remain unanswered by these operating instructions,
contact our technical support service or other technical personnel.
b) Connected Devices
• Also observe the safety and operating instructions of any other devices which are
connected to the product.
c) (Rechargeable) Batteries
• Correct polarity must be observed while inserting the (rechargeable) battery.
• The (rechargeable) batteries should be removed from the device if it is not used
for a long period of time to avoid damage through leaking. Leaking or damaged
(rechargeable) batteries might cause acid burns when in contact with skin, there-
fore use suitable protective gloves to handle corrupted (rechargeable) batteries.
• (Rechargeable) batteries must be kept out of reach of children. Do not leave (re-
chargeable) batteries lying around, as there is risk, that children or pets swallow
them.
• All (rechargeable) batteries should be replaced at the same time. Mixing old and
new (rechargeable) batteries in the device can lead to (rechargeable) battery leak-
age and device damage.
• Rechargeable batteries must not be dismantled, short-circuited or thrown into fire.
Never recharge nonrechargeable batteries. There is a risk of explosion!

2 Check indicator
3 Measuring button
4 Attachment clip
Inserting/Replacing the Batteries
For the initial commissioning, and when the tester or the LED lamp do not work any longer, the
batteries must be replaced. 2 batteries are enclosed with the tester.
Proceed as follows, to insert or replace the batteries:
• Carefully press down the bar, between the at-
tachment clip (4) and the switch for the LED
lamp (5), and pull the battery compartment (6)
backwards from the tester.
• Insert two micro-batteries (AAA) into the battery compartment. Pay attention to the polarity
indication in the battery compartment. Use alkaline batteries, as they guarantee a longer
running time.
• Close the battery compartment again, carefully.
Suitable batteries can be ordered using the order no. 65 23 03. Please order 2 batteries.

Operation

Before each measurement, check the magnetic field tester is functioning by using
the enclosed test magnet.
a) Function Test
Check the correct functioning of the magnetic field tester prior to each test. For this, a perma-
nent magnet is provided for testing.
• Slide the magnet (7) from the back of the device.
• Press the test key (3) and hold it during the test period.
• Move the magnet to the front of the test tip.
• The check indicator (2) must flash. If this is not the case, check the batteries and, if neces-
sary, replace them.
• When the test key is released, the tester is turned off. Attach the magnet to the tester again.
