Eclipse Demagnetiser operation manual-needed

Hi Guys

Good day! I'm in need of operating manuals from Eclipse Demagnetiser. Appreciates anyone can email me a scan PDF.

Also I got a cheaper version from Vertex (Taiwan). It comes with an aluminium top cover while I notice the UK-made Eclipse demagnetiser has 2 separate thick metal plates fixed on the top. Just being curious why is it made in 2 parts?

I like to upgrade my Vertex model with a steel top plate to prevent scratches while I draw objects across it to demagnetise. Wise to made in 2 parts also?

Thankful any feedbacks as we're all learning

Regards

Hi Steve.
My guess would be that the steel plates are the poles of the electro magnet.

Hi Steve,

I asked the same question about Eclipse demagnetiser a long time ago.

Best guess was that there never was such a manual. Users just waved what they wanted to demagnetise over the table until it no longer picked iron filings.

Hi Steve, got the same demagnetiser but sadly do not have a manual - all i have learnt is do not leave the part to be demagnetised on the plates for longer than 30 secs and do not switch on without a part in place!.

Les is correct about the two plates being the poles

Excellent piece of kit, they work well

Hi Guys

Thanks for the reply! I appreciate your answers. Seems I have to do without the manual.

I got a vertex version of demagnetiser. The top aluminium cover has to be replaced with a steel plate.

Thought of getting a detailed study of the internal circuit with the manual.

For what it's worth ... here is the "Manual" for the Selter version.

Slightly off-topic; but worth including here:

Audio guru Rod Elliot provides this very useful description of a push-button demagnetiser for small parts.
