WHEN PRODUCTIVITY STOPS – THERE IS A SOLUTION
USE MAG-PROBES TO TEST THE VALVES
In this economy there are so many repair requests and not enough trained personnel to keep the productivity moving forward. You can now increase your productivity with existing equipment and technicians by using Mag-Probes.
WHAT IS THE SOLUTION?
The solution is here!
A Mag-Probe can be used in the manufacturing of spare parts which supports production line maintenance. Repair speeds must be increased which will reduce downtime and increase productivity. You can do this without adding on more equipment and technicians by using Mag-Probes.
Even with no electrical training, a mechanic can learn how to use a Mag-Probe in 5 minutes. Typical ratios of mechanics (10) to electrically trained technicians/electricians is (1) That’s right 10 to 1.
Since the Mag-Probe is a non-contact test instrument and detects the magnetic field generated by current flowing in a coil, there is no chance of shock. A mechanic can now conduct a test to see if power is present in a solenoid valve or relay in seconds even if the equipment is operational, safety permitting.
If power is detected, it won’t be necessary to call an electrician because there is a mechanical or flow problem with the solenoid valve being tested.
If no magnetic field is detected you will need to call an electrician.
As much as a 30 minute to 1 hour delay can occur if an electrical technician is requested.
If the production line stops, incoming material piles up at the front end, the middle of the production line stops, and finished products at the final test cease. Then what do production line employees do until the production line restarts? It’s a disaster for the bottom line. Reducing downtime is the key to increasing productivity.
So Troubleshooting Speed Must Be Increased!
How to restore production equipment back to full operation quickly and put productivity back where it needs to be
Here is how it’s done.
If a production mechanic is not allowed to perform electrical tests how will you identify the problem as electrical or mechanical?
In typical operations mechanical maintenance personnel out number electricians by 10 to 1. Within seconds he has the answer by using a Mag-Probe which conducts the test by detecting if there is a magnetic field generated by a solenoid valve or relay. If no magnetic field is present you know you have a mechanical problem.

How Mag-Probe Spreadsheet Works
This Spreadsheet is simple and very easy to use. Simply type your numbers into the Green Boxes of the Mag-Probe Spreadsheet. For accuracy the 1st, 2nd and 4th green box numbers in the voltmeter column will automatically be duplicated in the red Mag-Probe column. They will have to be the same number in order to get a correct downtime computation. The only numbers that will be different will be the “Time it Takes to Conduct the Same Test” Please read the following 4 points before using the spreadsheet.
- Total Number of Facilities – You can enter the number of your facilities that make the same test. The spreadsheet will then multiply the time it takes to make the test for a voltmeter and the time it takes when using a Mag-Probe by the number of tests made per week and convert it to the amount of money you are losing by not using Mag-Probes in all your facilities.
- Technicians Wage or Production Cost (per hour) – Here you will enter the technicians hourly wage (which will work for service oriented maintenance calls) or your production cost per hour for manufacturing plants, bottling plants, shipyards or anywhere solenoid valves, relays, or coils are used in the production process. (Special Note: The dollar sign will appear automatically once you hit the enter key)
- Time It Takes To Conduct The Test (in minutes) – These are the only boxes that will have different entries (in these boxes you will be entering different times) you will enter the time it takes you to conduct a particular test using a Voltmeter and then enter the time it takes you to conduct the exact same test using a Bartol Mag-Probe in the Mag-Probe Column. (Special Note: This entry must be entered in minutes)
- Lastly, is the Tests Conducted (per week) – This will be how many tests you did with a voltmeter each week and now you are using a Mag-Probe instead to conduct the same test. This number should also be the same number so it will automatically be duplicated in the mag-Probe Column. If you only conduct one of these tests per month or even 2 or 3 refer to the chart below.
.0625 = 1 Test Every Two Months
.25 = 1 Test Per Month
.50 = 2 Tests Per Month
.75 = 3 Tests Per Month
1 = 4 Tests Per Month

Again The profits generated by reduced troubleshooting time make the Mag-Probe the obvious choice for a CEO, President or Owner, of any service or manufacturing company. Why? Because typically the return on your Mag-Probe investment will be one test. The Mag-Probe is guaranteed to conduct 5,000 five second operations. So after the first test, you can begin recovering your investment. NOT BAD SINCE YOU WILL HAVE 4,999 MORE TESTS AVAILABLE
