The B310BDC (DC) Contour Probe is a very portable, battery operated instrument forMagnetic Particle inspection. The instrument is intended for use where power is limited orwhere operator safety is a concern.

BATTERY PACK: Power for the B310BDC is provided by the BP7 (7.2 Ah) or BP15 (14.4 Ah)battery packs. Overload protection is provided by a replaceable 15A fuse in the BP7 BatteryPack. A 15A self resetting fuse is used in the BP15 Battery Pack.

REPAIR: Repair of the B310BDC or either of the battery packs is limited and should not beattempted. Units are sealed and should be returned to the factory for service.

INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION: The B310BDC Contour Probe derives its power from a12VDC battery pack. The instrument is fitted with a ten foot power cord with a cigarette lightertype plug. This plug is designed to be mated to the battery pack socket. The unit is energizedby a push button switch on the top of the unit.

OPERATION: Basically, the B310BDC Contour Probe is an electromagnet producing astrong DC magnetic field. Place the Probe legs upon the ferrous metal surface at a rightangle to the suspected defect. Push the test switch and lightly dust or float inspection powderover the area being inspected. Defect indications will be revealed in a direction shown onfigure 2. Turn the Probe 90 degrees from the first test and repeat the procedure. The testswitch should be released only after the powder application. However, if excess powder is tobe lightly blown away, as is the procedure to reveal minute indications, the Probe shouldremain energized while this procedure is performed. It should be noted that a DC field maynot in all instances, produce the same sensitivity to detect minute surface defect indicationsthat might otherwise be obtained with an AC field. A test standard should always be used toverify sensitivity to detect the smallest rejectable application defect. The B310BDC will complywith the DC weight lift test of 30 to 50 pounds. Occasional checks of the weight lift test shouldbe performed during testing.

BATTERY CHARGING: The BP7 battery pack should provide sufficient battery life to operatethe B310BDC for approximately eight hours of use. The BP15 battery pack should provide fornearly double this use. Recharge either battery overnight only. Do not allow batteries toremain on charge for longer periods.

The exclusive, reversible strain relief feature permits the B310BDC to be used in very confined areas. The strain relief may be rotated to exit the top of the unit (figure 3) or conven-tionally, from the rear (figure 4). With the B310BDC disconnected from the battery, removethe four phillips-head screws holding the strain relief plate. Rotate the plate assembly aroundbeing careful not to twist the wires more than once. Replace the plate assembly and fourscrews.

Operating Environment: Temperature: 32 to 104F (0 to 40C). Relative humidity: 10% to95%, non-condensing.

Shipping and Storage Environment: Temperature: -40 to 140F (-40 to 60C). Relativehumidity: 5% to 95%. Vibration and shock: As encountered in normal shipping and handlingwith no degradation.

The instrument should be wiped clean with a general purpose cleaner after each use.
