Description: |
Abstract:
A compact portable instrument for checking the operating condition of solenoid valves without exposing the electrical circuitry of the valve or dismantling the valve.
The instrument includes an indicator meter and a pair of axially aligned pickup coils which may be placed substantially adjacent the valve solenoids, the pickup coils each being capable of utilizing a magnetic field produced by an adjacent energized solenoid to produce a current causing said meter to indicate the location of the energized solenoid and position of the valve plunger. |
