Important safety warnings
2 Important safety warnings
To be read before initial operation!
The equipment is intended for demagnetises from clockworks
and tools.
Check the unit and mains cable for transport damages. In case
of visible damages do not put the unit into operation.
The technical details indicated on the nameplate must
correspond with the available mains connection details, in
particular those of the mains voltage.
Place the unit onto a stable surface. Keep the unit dry!
In order to prevent electrical accidents keep the working
surface, the unit and the mains plug dry! Do not put the unit
under water!
In case of damages on the Super Elite or the mains cable do
not connect the unit to the mains!
The unit must be opened by authorized and specialized
personnel only! Unplug the mains cable before opening the unit!

Putting into Operations
4 Putting into Operations
Compare voltage on type-plate with the voltage in your
workshop.
Place the unit onto a stable and dry surface
5 Demagnetizing
1. Connect the unit to the mains.
2. Place parts to be demagnetized on mounting surface.
Place small watch parts only in closed plastic bags on
mounting surface.
3. Press operating button for approx. 1 second.
The red LED display lights up for a short moment.
The unit demagnetizes now in a fraction of a second the
parts to be demagnetized.
ATTENTION: Do not place electrical or electronical watches on
the Antimag for demagnetizing as this will affect the function of
the watches.
Round objects should be placed in the centre of the field, whilst
long objects, such as pincers, pliers, etc. should be Iaid in the
centre of the rectangle parallel to its longest sides. Objects
which are longer than the operating area must be
demagnetized in sections. The demagnetizing power of the
instrument is limited to only the maximum permissible weight
and thickness of the object. The weight must not exceed 250
grams, and pliers etc. must not be thicker than 10 mm
Very small objects with a diameter smaller than 0,5 mm,
particularly when the lengths is much greater than the
thickness, e. g. needles, give a force flow which is too small
when demagnetized individually. Either several such pieces
should be demagnetized together or held individually in
pincers.This way these pieces can be completely
demagnetized. It is advisable to hold the objects firmly in the
field as (especially in the case of small pieces) they tend to be
pushed away by the impact of the magnet force, the magnetic
object can also turn out of the alternating field, if this happens
the demagnetization cannot be completed.
The best way of testing whether the tools have been completely
demagnetized is to use small washers which must be
previously demagnetized.
Testing by means of a magnetic needle or compass, as is tried
sometimes, gives erroneous results because these can also be
deflected by non-magnetic iron. Magnets or magnetic steels
cannot be demagnetized with this instrument.
