Y-7 AC/DC Yoke Operating Instructions

The Y-7 is an articulating leg magnetic yoke providing A.C. or D.C. magnetic fields for defect detection in

ferromagnetic materials. The Y-7 has the capability of demagnetization, if required.

Specifications:

Power Source: The Y-7 is configured for 115 volt, 50/60Hz.1 phase, OR 220 volt, 50 Hz.1 phase.

Current Draw: 115V version - 4 amps / 230V version - 2 amps.

Mechanical Capacity: Minimum-maximum distance across poles: 1“ to 12".

Magnetic Field: A.C: Constant level. D.C: Pulsed.

Pull Force: The Magnaflux Y-7 yoke is designed to lift 10 lbs or 40 lbs as specified in

ASTM E-444. Please refer to this specification for more details.

Yoke Weight: 7.7 pounds.

Controls: Electronic - Solid state contained within the housing.

Manual: Momentary, push to test switch A.C./D.C. selector switch

Duty Cycle: 33% with 80 seconds "ON" maximum.

Caution!

1. DO NOT connect the power cord to a battery for portable work-power source must be as

noted on the nameplate.

2. DO NOT change the AC/DC selector switch while the unit is energized.
